More closely in this show but first welcome to another day the scene of we call it africa the environment magazine and know tybee from a bit which are you know going state nigeria and i greet my colleague shown on my id be other end of the continent hello show. Helen military and the world will come to our viewers thank you for tuning into todays program. And the European Environmental show my name is sharon a minute from Nairobi Kenya and heres whats coming up in the show today. With the visiting have popular leaving and Shopping Complex in my body which has introduced a summer hike in our system. Then we move on to the german city of hama over whether trying to eliminate coffee to grow crops and that we need a regimen make it from coming through the environmental activist to freezing Public Awareness about plastic and decide. My problem is right here in nairobi actually not very far from where im standing that infinity is an integrated residential Retail Business complex designed to be implemented he fled me its time to start lets just im one of the biggest in africa whats more Building Materials have been not to be sold as much as possible. Even when shes making her tea at the site of the item when it is already surviving the benefits water cost thirty percent less than it used to thats quite a savings when amy has been living in garden city in the north of the king of capital nairobi since late last year its an expensive area of town here a new development is designed to protect the environment and save its residents money this solar energy comes from the roof of a neighboring might historic up one that we have a nice bright heat its all the water in the apartment and when we have an opposite the is when the heater element kicks in and we get hot water that way but were in generally were not using the element right now the sun heats all put in and the garden city is a model green project both in terms of it collateral. And its wister disposal assisting. Whatever trash is thrown away over the course of a day ends up next door in the garden city Shopping Center. Its where the more affluent locals go to shop. At the centers money says its one of kenyas most environmentally friendly buildings. Plastic cups straws packaging waste food from the restaurant all of it lands in the basement of the Shopping Center. The trash is sorted by hand. The cardboard and cutters go in paper bags in the organic west being cans with metal pit bottles to the plastic its a lot of work. To let me. Keep my. Customers. Materials others to help me but well continue getting them and getting them. For. Probably the next one year you know. I talk to people i want to know sortied not. To. Be here on the roof of the packing garage these assortments tradition with from more than three thousand solar panels installation is one of the largest in africa it generates the electricity for the Shopping Center and the jets and apartment buildings and it gives the cars and assured a place to park huge installations like this one havent had the benefit. Cost of the solar panels will drastically reduce your greater demand and you see a far greater accessibility to each and every individual will be able to afford and will be able to power their homes using the Natural Energy that we do of. The rooftop solar units are still a rarity a king and most of the funding for this one came from investors from highly industrialized countries. And thats why the financial profits dont remain in kenya. Where our investors are from america and australia. And the u. K. And i think it would be exciting for us to be able to raise capital for us all the funding for other investments that we do more often internally within africa but the reality is the stores of capital enormous in the developed world and bringing capital in from outside will remain a large part of what we do. Back to they select up to packing lot. Soon every solar packing sport is to be with a charging station for electric cars. The and to me of that was enough for a car. Charging station as we headed make electron mobility possible in kenya but they do need to introduce behavior traffic that you dont want any and others get courting only. Through the streets of nairobi. And this hectic times so many people have a drink on the run in the train or even in the car coffee to go is big business in many countries and that means mountains all discarded plastic and paper cups about we. Just in germany the city of hama has devised a plan to counter this terrible waste and viral meant to open usin bakery as an album out of this coffee to go in robust three usable cups for which you have to pay a deposit you get it back when you are top of the cup was a simple and we hope effective idea. Street sweepers in hanover have had enough of disposable cups with all too many pedestrians simply dumping them on the street as soon as they finished their coffee the explosion of coffee takeaway outlets in recent years has unleashed a steadily growing flood of extra trash and pick ups take up a huge amount of space in trash cans it only takes four or five large ones to fill up an entire sack. But the person in all the number of cups we get nowadays is just huge every kiosk every cafe sells them its causing enormous problems here in hanover. On average hanover is half a million plus residents jettisoned over twenty million used paper cups annually the city authorities decided that was far too many and began fighting the deluge a year ago. The bills did magnotta cardboard on the surface but inside theyre lined with plastic and as they can lie around for hundreds of years we have to collect every single one for incineration. So its not a good product not in the least ecological. Its time to get rid of them. The citys answer was to market its own reuse of all costs with a deposit the hanno cino it costs two euros which is refunded when customers drop it off at one of the participating cafes over one hundred fifty outlets are already taking part in the plan and the network is growing by the week. This is them is the brainchild of and they have even he surprised at how easy its been to win businesses over first of all he got local bakeries on board then the citys First Division soccer team others were quick to join in. The how to chino makes life very easy for our partners we do the advertising we supply the cups talked with them train their staff. Thats why the hundred chinos caught on and people like to use the cups because its straightforward and theyre doing something for the environment. Its certainly an easy solution for a coffee drinkers they normally dont have to go far to find somewhere to drop their cups off pick up. Drink up drop off the city doesnt make a cent from the scheme for cafe operators the service is free and they save on the cost of paper cups. Its good for their image to. The only condition is that participants have a dishwasher to keep the cups clean and hygenic that was no problem for the staff of this particular cafe they were happy about every customer who switches to that had a change. In order and it took a bit of time to familiarise people with a hundred cino. But once theyve actually used one and seen how clean and easy to handle they are they make the switch quite happily. Its also down to the design which has made the cups a local brand name. And theres even an app to show people where to find an outlet. There are no fifty thousand candle chinos in use across the city. The street cleaning squads now have far fewer paper cups to deal with and the trash cans dont fill up as fast either that all saves money. You really see the difference its made here with loads of businesses joining in there are far fewer cuts in the trashcans now. A National Estimates suggest the new head coach you know system has cut the number of paper cups in hanover by around a third. It to be in thing to see if that catches on and even spreads to other cities. Interesting project which recycles and upcycling Plastic Waste in uganda the country has been suffering from persistent extreme drought which says and then said the food supply them farmers need to use the little whatever they have there is pairing and now they have found us right now to us shop in this weeks doing a bit system we need jobs. So far in the couple of come pala who was devised a clever system of drip irrigation hes certainly doing his bit to combat Plastic Waste and to promote sustainable farming. Contrasting ways to help grow food. This looks like a dumping ground for plastic trash. But its actually crude material for every case and technology. You can define much of the sarah low has created a system that combines or. Cycling plastic and saving water. All it required was one great idea. And a little hole in a plastic bottle. Thanks to the drip irrigation system. That survived a month of drought. Thats a healthy despite. The farmer expects a pub. Which he can sell in the local market. The simple bottle irrigation method helps ensure Food Security and to protect the environment. If you are also doing. Visit our web site. Tweet. Cash to. Share your story. Wow its amazing what great ideas people come on with another eco here we want to introduce to you is regina. She lives in port city in cameron she is an environmental journalist and shes involved with a Nongovernmental Organization called sustainable one for the bottom and it promotes inclusive and Sustainable Development initiatives and that means getting ordinary people involved with gina has inspired many to think more about the environment and to take better care of it so what did we do when to find out how she does. These women are out to make a difference environmentalist regime elect and her team of volunteers are collecting plastic bottles from this home into. Her sheena is the founder of recycle me an organization dedicated to cleaning up the city. I sowed in my own need so we know the song. Starts in from my home. To the site. To cities to dirty theres trash everywhere its a good thing shes doing something about it and on her own initiative. To wall is camerons most populated city the areas more than three million inhabitants produce a huge amount of Household Waste every day. A private company contracted to collect the citys garbage actually only removes about two thirds of it. The rest remains scattered throughout the city. Regina leckie also uses the media to combat the waste problem on camerons second largest t. V. Network she hosts a Weekly Program on environmental issues. The twenty nine year old uses this platform to report on the poor Waste Management situation in the west african country. Sometimes this yields results when i reply. You know i was moved to. See the next minute. But plastic continues to clog up the citys gutters. This is a serious problem especially when the rainy season starts in march blocked waterways can cause Property Damage and even deaths. Which means that what when those so much. And this what. And some of this plastics also when they get into ocean it becomes a threat to my life. So while others look the other way regina continues to focus on dealing with the problem she even invests or own money for instance renting vehicles like this to deliver the plastic directly to a recycler. But the site is already overflowing that means the regime has organization doesnt earn anything for the effort. Shes just happy to get the clutter off the streets and put to better use. Here the old plastic is cleaned and shredded. The raw material is then repurposed for instance to useful buckets now regime is looking to expand her operation i really intend to extend many talents in. As many plastic plastic items for recycling reuse i mean whatever is not going to force a serious threat to the environment. She started small collecting plastic from friends and colleagues now she has eight volunteers who cover some three hundred households in offices and delilah follows on zanzibar thompson is a famous spice island have been producing our clubs without pesticides or chemical fertilisers for generations long before you open up the make of fell in love with organic. Some saw great opportunity in that love and got satisfied as organic growers lets see what kind of impact that is having on the industry. And sounds a bar you find almost all the spices in the world are the times when one will get rich from entirely spices are long gone a man and one who are going to give me loads more you before all the farmers in the area depended on tourists to come if no one visited the farm it was difficult to survive and a lot of them had to give up and look for other work spice farmer patrick my gang got together with his neighbor managed to conquer a new market. A month a spice farmers of zanzibar his considered an expert and all the others come to him to buy new seedlings. I think its because i exclusively use cow dung and select the plants very carefully and. With thirty other spice farmers my grandmother founded a cooperative since then the farmers share everything to strand and the local knowledge together the found a way to expand closer now grown on a large scale. My gangas neighbor and the food explains how this help them succeed.

Is peace with the close cooperation with the farm. Nowadays or their down market and they have exactly the know where they can sell their stuff and so even the productions need to be to high and brass chattels about. Five hundred sending of the called memory plants in seoul probably after two years in the harvester mall five hundred new plants. Patrick my ganga has been able to build a new house with the additional income his wife is equally pleased with him. An inmate is not very proud of him life is much easier than before and the family gets everything it needs. Real well to save you and lee my son more and more people who have seen how successful we are but the organization now come here when i mean. You know its the only way to make good money around here in this. Group but the bulk of. His oldest son now has his own small family from the profits from the next harvest i got you know once to build them a house. That two countries on Africas Atlantic course that ive never really been on mr love as a raider but mean and total and for a long time both countries have failed to convince their people on the need to preserve the lands biodiversity right especially in the region around the river this river forms the border between the two small nations and it is a rich tapestry of mangrove forests wetlands and savanna its also a refuge for rare species such as the manatee and red bellied monkeys lets take a look at what ben and total are doing to protect this natural paradise. Sylvana davo works for an Environmental Organization hed like to see fission in this part of the river delta bad and so the fish have a chance to spawn facing off whats on your deck you know what were proposing a ban on fishing for one kilometer around the river delta so the fish will be able to pass back and forth between the mono river and the sink where seeking a consensus amongst the fishermen. Always say you do this for their own cause this is. The beach and the dunes beyond that are natural paradise and home to sea turtles theyve been successfully protected in both bennett and tokyo for years this is where the Biosphere Reserve is due to begin in the future. We want to see how the more the delta Biosphere Reserve is progress and then and talk to narrow countries together that over one hundred kilometers wide theyre separated by the mono river the Biosphere Reserve consists of separate settlements the Coastal Protection area begins right behind the beach its a unique biotope here where the mother of the needs to see the mangroves begin at the mouth of the river. Shows us the inland waterways behind it. His organization is helping to protect the mangrove forests theyve planted forty five new hacked is and marked off spawning grounds for the fish with local residents. We continue in the and to late to. Hear patrice is support in the future. His environmental denies ation is planned in a nature reserve of flora and fauna on the river banks. Hes already won the fisherman and hunters over so theyll respect the areas where fishing and hunting are prohibited. Its a natural paradise with protected marsh areas and recipe shes of plants and wildlife but how important is it to the hunters here to preserve the environment ive known only we used to sell the game or eat it ourselves but weve stopped doing that we want our children to see the water animals in the future with their own eyes darien rock a regular as you look up as your local residents are burning down trees to clear land for farming. They fly to our last stop the forest of good to me in togo. To the people in this area the forest is sacrosanct. They head out into the woods following their priests in the procession they believe accounts of the forest and shield them from sickness and protect them from evil the priests always kept a close watch on the forest. But now they have the spirit of a local Environmental Group that. They hope to reforest some areas and set up a patrol. To run i dont know why it would give it a greater stretch to the forest are clearing and farming. On it that way but. Theyre working together to fight poaching forest burning and timber thieves.
