A show we focus on africa here are some of the topics that well be looking at today. How rhonda hes trying to rebound a decline in needs be population. We also see how a sharing economy sconce resources. Into finally how young activists gonna fight imply healthy ecosystem. But foster to run the Bee Population there has been shrinking an anomaly great there as it has been in europe the main culprits are chemical pesticides and intensive farming practices but because contribute to biodiversity they are great pollinators so beekeepers in rwanda coping how can they talk of the problems we went to meet some of them to find out. His bees are dying and he cant do anything about it and same cut gabo is destroying which over the past 8 years more than half of his 70 colonies have perished. As if we were. All the bees that come back from the farms in fact the others are going to be hived off. Thats why they die both in the traditional and the modern times the mother summer because it is up for the number declines gradually i mean you can see going until there were no hes alive inside me because i get a lesson. Uncertain cabo has been raising bees for more than 20 years he uses traditional beehives to collect wild ones then he transfers them to small modern bee hives on his farm. The bees go in search of food in the fields around his village in northeastern rwanda. Families here and across the country are using more and more pesticides on their crops. These potato plants are no exception at the same time beat populations are collapsing farmers are aware that these things are connected. To go on a large number of bees die when the i was plants are in bloom. Whenever blaise land on the flowers after weve sprayed them we see them die. Pesticides are toxic and kill many forms of life that are not the intended target when they feast i b keep has suffered the economic consequences if you had to 1st of all we would like the government to support farmers to get chemicals that are not toxic. That way they can continue farming without causing us to lose our bees which is our design you can see the future but a shift to organic farming is still a long way off here biological pesticides are rarely used in part because theyre expensive the government is considering raising the tax on chemical pesticides and lowering the tax on organic ones that would be good for the environment farmers and beekeepers here in the meantime the Government Office training courses keep is one topic how to breed healthy and more productive be colonies. We want to. Develop. This which. Is the best. Of. Its. Its. Resigned to production. And the products. That wont solve the problem of pesticides but at least became this can learn how to breed queen bees and thats built new colonies. The beekeeper cooperative coop is a has been taking part in the Training Program for over a year instructors come and visit regularly. Every egg from a queen bee has to be taken out of the honeycomb and were placed in a new beehive so the it. Then the bees have to feed the eggs. After 2 or 3 weeks the new breed hatches. Were glad were getting this training now we can be sure the air is going to be more be colonies. Because we can look forward to having more be harnessed and that will guarantee increased Honey Production. For the cooperative has already managed to make up a large part of its losses. Here or do we have to see more since this new technique was introduced it is our business. We had lost a large number of colonies we only had 120. 00 beehives left out of a total of 400. 00 disagreeing. But since then weve managed to add 200. 00 thats a Great Success story over a short period of time. This Training Program has been running since 2015 and at no cost to be cute is the government once every beekeeper in the country to take the courses thanks to the program Honey Production has been rising again and so has the price of honey up 5. 00 fold in recent years to about 6 heroes a kilo in part because the Bee Population has shrunk. Despite. All the advances the honey still contain some toxins but other changes like making chemical pesticides more expensive and biological ones cheaper could help create better honey while keeping the peace in life. It sounds weird but it is true you can help the environment by cutting your hair hair is so bent on a hair dresser in france came up with the idea of using it all. Let us see how it works. Hand tear the a stylist in southeastern france cuts off 29. 00 kilos of it every year. But instead of just throwing it out ground collects every look to help fight Oil Pollution in the worlds oceans. Because there is life to feel like it had sores hydrocarbons that is to say hydrocarbon stick to the outside thats why you can wash them off they dont get inside the air. Founded the project is used or fat headdress says beauticians from across france and in hackney pings formally Unemployed People and School Dropouts stuff the head into nylon stockings to make pillows which will then be used to absorb fats and oils from water. The pillows to fisherman and harbor operators he pays his help us with the proceeds. Some of the pillows are now in use in a Pilot Project in the harbor of. More than 1000 boats adopt here. In the long run will try to use it around the port since the rain runoff water falls in the port and it washes out the soil picking up hydrocarbons so the idea is to go around the whole port under the boat and the refueling station and above all to convince other ports if. One kilo of hakon absorbs 7 liters of oil the head pillows are brought to a special company for washing and can be reused up to 10 times some sat on visitors might be happy to show to head to for a good cause.

Coming to look for Work Opportunities so most of them to prefer to live in intelligence because its cheaper to live there when youre ready. To move from where i used to work so this creates an opportunity for homeowners to actually create a coalition for those people where the event. Starts. In a formal manner or the. Many South Africans could never afford to buy a home of their own so they rent shacks in other peoples backyards all crammed together side by side one little oval is a selftaught brick layer while building and out building in the backyard of his parents home he got an idea to replace corrugated metal shacks with brick houses his customers other people who own the land they pay for the building in monthly installments using the rent they receive from the tenants while the tenants themselves get to live in a better home plus the whole thing is more environmentally friendly as the house is a made of special bricks. Almost like their book brick so because. Of a different. Culture of britain caused by up to 10 percent. Unsecured incentives to live with this. Youre only. When are. You going to. Learn lets you know makes his bricks out of construction waste so he doesnt need to use sand that also means the bricks dont have to be fired in a kiln which saves on energy because the Building Blocks are interlocking the pressure of their own weight is sufficient to make the wall strong unstable its an unusual way to build but its less of a burden on the environment than traditional masonry. Comes to. People because. Its now more convincing than. This man was also interested and happy to learn more so than the c. B. S. Is among the 1st tenants to move into one of the brick houses the 35 year old car mechanic has been living in a backyard for 6 years until recently in a metal shock but not anymore now he has a proper home he used to pay about 35. 00 euros a month now he pays 40 he thinks its worth it. Actually i am very very very hear people. Say the. Human being actually. You feel more confident when everything next.

To startups plan to work together. Could use the plentiful building rubble for his environmentally friendly bricks. Now the 2 are working on ways to crush the waste and transported to the construction site they hope to get started seeing. Here. So we can replace all the shacks. And also training them to build their own houses. Another one being that in the rose bowl that is the stuff of the future right now each building is a major financial risk for london and his startup hes only been able to complete 3 homes with environmentally friendly bricks so far 3 more are under construction but hes been inundated with requests for more.
