Luckily, there are sometimes simple fixes as well find out in this edition of echo africa, britons from oregon state nigeria. I am chris lamps. And i am sorry tween only all righty in come polite uganda. Welcome. Yes, chris, we about to see that common sense is often the best response to all the climate problems that we are seeing. Now. Weve got exciting environment stories from africa and europe in store for just you to day. How an a so in company is working to clean up a 1000000 recycling. Why a young climate until its thinking it has gone into politics and what makes the buy of filling up texas so attractive and sustainable fast. Lets look at a fascinating issue solution to a very modern problem. Merkel has lost almost 3 quarters of its palm groves in the last 10 years. That is, but he is for the crucial ecosystem of desert was, is that allow people to leave . And also from there, but the re discovery of ancestor, Water Management is bringing back hope the drought and Climate Change can be beaten there. Ah ah, every saturday people flocked to go me must market to buy fruit vegetables such as okra, olives, and a wide variety of date. Theyre the main crop grown in the oasis around cal nima, a berber town in south eastern morocco. The livelihoods of people in this arid region on the edge of the Sahara Desert rely on oases. These are under threat. Dow would find easy and agricultural engineer who specializes in these green ecosystems laments their environmental degradation. That is, was this all this because the oases are fragile ecosystems is because theyre located in the heron desert. Oh, see, and theres no precipitation here. Agricultural production is directly affected on did we so after 2 or 3 years of drought . A, we already feel the problems as has all sulky are and problems in oases like this. People live from agriculture in raising livestock, but morocco is suffering from desertification fires and the worst drought in decades. Rising temperatures and erratic rainfall have lowered river levels, increased evaporation, and caused storage dams. To show up, this is led to a 20 percent reduction in overall Water Resources in the last 30 years. It can take off the part of one of the main consequences of the drought in the oasis is a drive and the yield of day palm. So dont model for me that she unhappy this year, we had to cut back production up to 15 percent, which means less income for the farmers, not they hiscock is full. So the lap ridiculous idea that i prompt them to look elsewhere for a way to feed themselves on a poorly like increasing the rural exodus exit. Alicia, i put a sunni to overcome water scarcity farmers or restoring ancient Irrigation Systems, known in morocco as kit at us there. Underground canals make it possible to collect ground water in the list, the force of gravity to deliver it to farm fields. From an opera you through ada, located in our far in the province of iraqi dea, a po vance, that or she the yeah, this is a hertada that is more than 600 years old and its still operational. He thought, oh, it was you or better the had tara is important because its a system that brings water from the mountains to the oasis and thanks to the reins that come 2 or 3 times a year, i managed to infiltrate the soil gas or 3 key are you or do walk well that ha, retains the water for a long period of time, all the laughter, god o t, and sit, oh, well not a long there is no evaporation, but theyve up what i see in the water thats collected at the level of the shatara v as channel directly to the field or you did it through long fuel if there was a config harass range from 2 to 15 kilometers in length. Their tunnels are gently sloped and descent as far as 10 meters below ground access shafts. Follow the federal route from the water source to the reception basin, located every 12 to 15 meters. The shafts allow for the clearing of blockages caused by sediment. That the router feler that region boast some 565th rat. But just 130 are in working order. Those that do function irrigate some 15000 hectors of land, but thats not enough to sustain agricultural production. So with support from the Adaptation Fund and the moroccan government, farmers are working to restore those located in the arissa and my dear river basins under your mall shack, up that i gotta is cleaned every year by the farmers themselves. As we can see, he added paul, if your gas alerted is pretty good, thanks to their spirit and ingenuity. Do they have long been able to maintain and safeguard this system is over . Gotta be so that it ensures the life of the oases is, was, is the head that arms are ruled by ancestry tradition and customary water rights are inherited. The labor force provided by each user during construction, determines how much water each can later consume every tunnel. Also, as a guardian charged with assuring it functions well, like muhammad 8th model a farmer, grateful to his forbears for building this irrigation system. The ideal thought about the hunter is very important to me. Thanks to it, and we have water to drink, irrigate the crops give to our lives, started and used for our domestic ne, his like laundry in washington. Yes, this irrigation system is vital. Without it, we cant live here or not. Theres simply no light at mcneish legal, clarified the fed, her hours helped to keep away sheets like this alive, while more effort is needed to restore these old Irrigation Systems and increase ground water levels. This ancient Technology Provides moroccans with a novel way to adapt to Climate Change it. Oh, to children, to countenance one giant problem, and molina in normally a pushy, a lively, lazy, legal feature is a delay. Food. Exactly. How will Climate Change affect us and our children learn more at d, w dot com slash water. We have all seen how fast cities are growing and the new houses and roads often eat up all the green spaces in between. But a city without space for plants, animals and insects, is not going to be a healthy place for anyone. So what should we do . Right, sondra simply making box is nice for humans, but not enough for nature where biodiversity is per show, was space as this often very tight up a look at the project in berlin. Wessa volunteers are doing the updates by planting. You see, bah. B, nothing but concrete. Wherever you look, its a sad reality in many cities, but it is possible to create micro forests in urban settings. This Day Care Center on the outskirts of berlin is doing just bass. The saw was 1st analyzed in a knob to see which areas would need enriching with humorous and activated charcoal that helps the trees thrive unless space. Here 3 saplings are planted on one square meter, much closer than usual. Lucas bearing a once to see a lot of tony forrests planted in germany, we hung about sponsored for shed in a ball. We selected 20 types of trees and shrubs based on a vegetation analysis under them is that theyre all native species on, but we want to try and recreate what happens naturally in a mixed forest up through an escape. Boxley missed so that we also get Different Levels of vegetation office in the car, must lay in a more of a shrug layer on 2 main layers of trees on it. And thats why i help bumptious. He set up the Meal Organization to develop these tiny forests. Its named for the japanese man who came up with this method. Akita, milwaukee, funded by donations 600. 00 saplings, with a total of 15000. 00 heroes will be planted here at the daycare. The organization created its 1st micro forest, 100 kilometers north of berlin. After just one year, the bushes are bearing fruit. There are more insects to without of these young forest as it is hoped, a new mini forest will soon flourish here too. Ah, and how about you . If you are also doing your bid, tell us about it, visit our website, or send us a tweet. Past ag doing your bit. We share your stories. On the subject is something youve all held in your hands. Many times. Aluminium is a 2nd most used metal on earth after i am. Its almost everywhere. Drinks can spray cans, airplanes, ultima bowels. The failures making alo, medium is incredibly energy intensive. The process causes song to percent of humanity is taught for greenhouse gases. Clearly then it is vital to collect used aluminum and recycling. Well, we went to lay gas to visit the company that is doing its best to promote the circular economy. This is no ordinary scrap yard. Just outside lagos, discarded engine blocks crank shafts and exhaust systems, and waiting for a new lease on life. They are about to be turned into precious ingots of pure alimentary m. Here in the furnace of the british company, romco metals the discarded parts and melted down alongside old cans. At more than 660. 00 degrees celsius. This separates the aluminum from the remaining components. What happens is whatever. So to develop it, we received notice that ingle ingle and it single fall, as you can see is this piece right here. And this is about 5 to 6 k d web about a 1000000. Typically what will happen is there will specter noise log on those ready for which you can see here. One of them ready to go. Raymond, under wigan, is the founder and ceo if the company he opened the site he has 7 years ago. Conditions are ideal in africas largest economy. More than a 5th of the population is unemployed and only a fraction of the waste in nigeria gets recycled in this country of 215000000. The government is also protecting the domestic market from cheaper alan minium imports from abroad. With high import taxes, you can be green and be industrial at the same time. Right . So for example, inherently what we do here recycling is inherently green. Were saving not for free. What were, were actually emitting not free tons of carbon for every once about a minimum of produce, right . So in comparisons primary where its 20 tons of call them for every one times about a 1000000 producing more. When youre using coal and more heavy industrial, the company recycled 1500 tons of aluminum every month in lagos, 450 people have found jobs here. Thousands of workers earn money as aluminum. Recycling subcontractors like straps suppliers when described from locally here. And then down softly me to my cars and then outside, then i would be loaded in rock or trailer to supply remco logos. The most important raw material for ela, minium is book site the or is mind in countries like malaysia, guinea, brazil, and india. Rain forests are destroyed for it, and groundwater contaminated recycling aluminum helps to conserve these resources. Its production is also a lot more Energy Efficient using just 5 percent of the Energy Required in the production of new aluminum demand for precious Raw Materials is rising worldwide. That makes recycled aluminum so valuable as we drive towards the new green energy transition. As were seeing the, the grids being expanded, were seeing the mix of the grid, actually changing, or renewables are coming into focus. Theres going to require a lot of materials and the motorcycle materials that we have in there is only going to help us get so the talk is that were trying to teach both which want to reach globally. In addition to lagos, romco has had a production site in garner since last year. 3 more plants are set to open on the continent in the coming years. From la jerry out to europe now and some architects who are trying to collect city dwellers more to nature is not just about using natural materials to make inhabitants feel more at home. The bio fully. Thats like loving architect. Joe were present to you in our notes the board uses. So light on cob edges to the building saw in the duct city of amsterdam. But the method works everywhere. Ill, its more sustainable van, you might think, ah, would, instead of concrete curves rather than hard edges, a style of architecture that loves life the result of building according to the principles of, by of philip architecture. Jacqueline garcia know is the architect of the free booter or book an ear. In the dutch city of amsterdam, one of the key elements of the bi Affiliate Group approach is to create direct connection with nature. And we create a dog by using natural materials that, that simulates or are connected to both visually and experientially, to, to nature wooden slats, run around the entire building, ensuring optimal lighting conditions and privacy. The sounds movement was monitored for a whole year. So the flats could be aligned perfectly. Another fundamental concept of bio for like, architecture is that interior and exterior space to merge into one. As soon as we yeah, we wake up in this in this room, we can already open up and have a direct connection to the terrace and to the natural elemental though of the water. Ah, the free boot or a special construction method, only cost about 10 percent more than a conventional 1. 2 families live here each with 120 square meters of living space. They enjoy a special indoor climate and a house with close to 0 energy consumption. Thanks to state of the Art Technology especially like this room because the sun move around to house during the day and at the end of the day, it ends here and the lights is very beautiful in this room. Its not just the light that special. The house appeals to all the senses. When people come and visit, almost everybody wants to touch this part. Its curved, its boot, people love it. Ah. And the concept isnt only finding favour in amsterdam. These days greener buildings are built in many places, using wood and other natural materials. Owners and architects try to integrate the surrounding nature into their constructions, even if not always under the label bio filling architecture. Jacko mo garcia was already thinking on a much larger scale. As with his current project, my ptosis, it involves living units that can be extended at will it has so many benefits. So yeah, theres a high demand for these kind of the building. So i really foresee that in the future, there was, there would be more and more buildings designed with a bio filica approach. The free booter residents have no doubt that their quality of life has improved since moving it. Life changes as spaces change. And theyre so much more curve, eunice. So the whole experience is completely different. Biofuel like architecture provides a green and holistic approach to living space. An architectural concept with a future from euro, back to africa, the continent with words, young guess population. People here stand to be the ones most affected by Climate Change in their lifetimes, such as in kenya were dropped, is already having a huge impact on communities. But one young woman there at the site did that. Shes going to make a difference. Was even as a teenager, anita sonya was unwilling to feedback and accept the inevitable tea of global warming. Last november, she spoke on stage at the un Climate Change conference in glasgow scotland to raise awareness of kenyas climate emergencies. We spent some time with the young ma fi to see exactly what she is doing to help. 022 year old anita. So you not is a climate warrior. Shes fighting to protect her home armed not with weapons, but with true saplings. Co county south of lee robbie is suffering. Its was drought in 40 years. Climate change is taking a heavy toll on the re, john. Its effects are catastrophic. We depend on past how we depend on water. We depend on all the things that have been affected by Climate Change. So it over time, if we knew what was happening before, not happening now, showed that it keeps getting worse. We keep losing animals, we keep losing almost everything, any know, for every we actually look at animals have our wealth. So were actually getting portly by the, because of Climate Change. Shes witnessed fast hon. The devastation of forest in her home on the border of toms. And now, at the same time, drought periods are getting longer, drought has become the new normal and food and water are increasingly short supply. According to the International Red cross, 3000000 people are affected by food scarcity, including now u e. A tati who has 7 children, shes lived here all her life and this is the was drug shes ever experienced. Tanked to her environmental activism. Anita sina knows the Deputy Governor of ca, jadwin today, the pain now your he of is it bringing her food so she can feed her family for the next few days. In the past, she was able to leave from her kettle, but now theres not enough vegetation. For them to graze on as she has to buy any more food before the drought. Now you e. A tati kept 20 cows. Now they are only 5 cows and a few goats left and nobody, dan i yet, and the difference with the seasons is that there used to be shot and long grains. That meant people could, and me and beans could feel their families. We know theres not enough rainfall resulting in long drought and you no longer plant crops for human consumption. We have a shortage of food. People are suffering from severe hunger, an army most suited and sold at a price. Everythings harder than it is to be bought. We are not feeding any more flag people, you know, you have to buy food for animals. You have to take care of them. Theyve not enough water and all that. So it has been so much happening. That is actually very, very painful. Come to think of it, these are people who have contributed almost nothing to Climate Change, but or on the receiving end of the what impacts me i need to sign off founded and the mental Protection Organization calls ice warriors as part of their walk. The activists have planted 5 poles and mostly indigenous trees. According to a canyon forest, savage report, the countrys forest cover increased from 6 per cent in 2018 to nearly 9 percent in 2021. But before a titian remains a serious problem in came out. We need to trace to actually cover we need to clean our oceans to after a couple things. So just like we need something to, to help clean what we have already released, the anita sign also works closely with the local government to raise awareness of mental concerns among local. And she even went into politics herself to insure environmental was the med head of the mentor elections. She spent the summer campaigning in the villages as a member of the Green Thinking auction politic. The reason i went for parliament i use it is because it was selfish. It says that if i go to parliament and possible, it will help or it will also speak for someone who is not in my constituents. And its also where most Critical Issues and bills can be passed and that is what i tend to do. I need to sign. I didnt manage to secure a seat, but she remains unbeatable. But shell continue trunk in the new little mental causes and lobbying politicians. And she is well aware that Environmental Protection isnt only a priority. And now im a chinese, norfolk to other countries is going to add to the quick of call or a call to action, which i think that the little hope remaining for some of us, we are waiting to see what these countries will do. And i believe these we can still do something if we commit. So when the, the finance of that we are financing fossil fuels, we can transfer the financing and finance. What we can in, in moving from fulfills to fossil free, anita selina, is contributing to that transition. I planting trees and ensuring our green future for kit young. Wal wasnt encouraged an example, believe it or not, our time is already up. We hope you like to show good bye for me, chris logan, state nigeria. And also for me, sandra here in uganda. Well, if you want to talk about anything youve just seen, write to us or leave a comment on our social media platforms. Hope to see you again next week when well be back with another exciting episode of equal africa till next time. Bye bye.
