At 1st glance it looks idyllic here but most of the 17 year old student is out. In order to document the extent. Of. The rainy season. In town should be full by now. Its. Tough. Question whats whats next is the hope that this. Would have been for the game. Going to town is a farming town that has been experiencing periods of severe drought over the past 5 years in an effort to alleviate the impact the only spot it instituted water restrictions in the Community John is a member of the young reporters for the environment or white. Youth Led Initiative that provides training on how to report on local Environmental Issues has come to talk to timber cookie i local livestock keep up his ship survived this year but if the rain stopped he might have to sell the entire flock and the ones with minimum. Aon im dreamin that are the most difficult thing was that we ran out of water not just but the whole region little fish water for the livestock in a far away places which was a real struggle when. Jenna attends mari alone high school today a professional photographer has come to lead a workshop with the young reporters this is the 1st time some of the students have ever held a camera the program also involves training sessions with journalists and t.

Challenging the government take intervention in this matter. Oh what a couple of months now that it is a break from the actions of the nation and to decrease spending for the games that this event it doesnt want to promote it was. Supposed to produce one story each month. Young people dont know what to do to you even if they do you cant take initiative because they think that if they dont think the cat so the young reporters gives us an opportunity to do that because it makes more young people aware about the Environmental Issues that were currently facing and it makes them want to take initiative and join us so i think thats why its very important. Job boards are taught school because her parents leave find a way in the countryside for dina the students guiding the big hole to do their homework is making progress with hunger story she doesnt put you on to provide regular school work but john i doesnt mind.

In south africa the program is supported by west the countrys oldest Environmental Organization its been doled out at 15 schools so far the young members out of pulled by its success because it shows that the us picked. Young people are realizing that there was a very dumb waste walled unless the adults get serious about dealing with the Climate Crisis all over the walls they are demanding action but they are not the only ones or the people want to get involved too in germany and mental going to a bucking evening classes for the public on Climate Change and things ordinary people like you and i can do to make a big. Climate strikes a good way to show governments the people want change but what else can we as individuals do to help reduce c o 2 emissions in Gemini People can take special evening classes to learn more about climate protection. Participants are able to develop their own plan of action in order to cut their carbon footprint. In terms of mobility that could mean driving and flying less. When it comes to heating and electricity a little goes a long way just turning the heat down by one degree makes a difference as do small adjustments at meal times like cutting down on meat consumption. Apparently we all ate less meat without having to give it up completely that would result in a huge reduction of c o 2 emissions that was helpful information. On the pulse was developed by Environmental Organizations and is now available in 36 german cities the workshop is spread over 6 evenings. Come you know each of us can make a difference one of our goals is to encourage the course of participants to become eco ambassadors who not only make changes in their own lives but share information and encourage others to do the same. At the end of the course the participants receive a fit for climate certificates and then its up to them to spread the word. And how about you if youre also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website or send us a tweet. Doing your bit. We share your story. Well. A feed hook line matters that if you get especially when it comes to electronic waste what do you do when youre done with your computer or your mobile phone there are reports that africa has become a dumping ground for most of the global in the west so what is being done africa to change that a young nigerian has decided he doesnt want that anymore and he started doing something about it. Lagos nigeria is filmed to a number of illegal dump sites very waste from any local people the refuse is a vital link. Of the taking of poets t. V. s computers and other devices by hands they resell the components as rule materials its extremely hazardous work with and water and ground severely polluted by heavy metals and toxic chemicals some Electronic Devices come from developed countries in the form of the nations unfortunately only a fraction of food functional the rest is affectively trash a company in lagos has come up with an alternative solution for handling the waste its called eat terra and was founded by each line or tunnel nigeria you to me generates 1000000. 00 tons of arsenic waste talk less of what allows importation into the countries the difference between our treatment and the informal. Informant under dont have the knowledge they dont have the tools all the machinery to safely because and dismantle. The device. The terror collects discarded devices like laptops speakers and mobile phones which are then checked over at the companys Material Recovery for certainty those parts that can still be used restored and mostly do need to discharge the rest is dismantle the terror has invested in the range of machinery it allows the workers to dismantle the waste in a way that is safe for the environment and for themselves and exhaust hood is used to contain the toxic feed. Your very not lead you can have so many carcinogenic materials that are trapped there sucked out and trapped trapped inside its are diminishing so its affectively detoxified while we dismantle all of the glass and all of the. Plastic. After being dismantled the waste is separated in shreds. Theyre all material salvaged such as aluminum glass and i and other Companies Main source of income. Business has been going well for the company so well that the c. E. O. Plans to expand operations in the near future and hes happy that the items he recycles will not end up on the legal dont sites like this one. Carbon dioxide is a major contributor to Global Warming but did you know the gas can be a valuable resource scientists have developed ways to capture c o 2 from power plants and factories that would otherwise escape into the air and theyre putting it to good use for example to boost plant growth in greenhouses we had to the netherlands to meet some goddess who are welcoming the initiative. Glass as far as the eye can see. This is a ruse Breeding Company in the netherlands. C o 2 is pumped into these 2 shoots greenhouses to help the flowers grow better. The head of the Family Business says the investment is paid off. We look almost to the leaves and when the leaves are dark and dark green then we know leaves are. To the flower we always look at the size the cost how big are the size whether the selling the business has to work very efficiently with high tech heating and cooling systems automatic irrigation and fertilization. But whats really special is the c o 2 ventilation equipment. All the sealed those coming out of this pipe over here. And. Under pressure and out of the bible succumbing to c o 2. The air inside is in rich. Carbon dioxide c o 2 aids photosynthesis and spurs plant growth the Company Harvest 8000 roses a day. The gases brought in virus subterranean pipeline from rotterdam. Now and again the supply of cools by. Bloomberg has 600 greenhouses on his books. The crops fetch the balls cut flowers grown in greenhouses they used to get a better product traditionally used to fuel gases from gas burning. Stop using the natural gas and create even better products. The Carbon Dioxide comes from the port of. From one of the Worlds LargestOil Refineries 400000 barrels of oil a process to each day and hundreds of thousands of tons of c o 2 generated each year as a byproduct. Ok up or organic c o 2 for assimilation by plants we use is some of that. The company has a plant in the dutch poort and supplies half a 1000000 tons of c o 2 to greenhouses so do the suits or its coming from a from the shell or refinery 3 its transported to our facility fired he said this pipeline. In the past the greenhouses had to produce the Carbon Dioxide themselves by burning natural gas. The use of recycled c o 2 means that they say for huge amount of the fossil fuel the greenhouses are the one who benefits maybe even the most they can replace the use of environment polluting natural gas by taking shoot to from industry so they are saving the environment saving a little bit. And they can use on top of that more c o 2 to grow even better tomatoes and better the flowers. The roots grow is no longer need a combustion plant to produce c o 2. That means they can concentrate more on that cool business. My family started 40 years ago and we start that theyve been a Small Company and me grow a big big and now we produce in one year about 40000000 stems. The company is booming thanks to Carbon Dioxide commercial greenhouse gardens realized this problem of gas can also be a valuable resource. Now what a great idea to reduce c o 2 i keep it out of the atmosphere well heres another one this time from san diego an invasive weed has been spreading fast and caught in chaos there but some farmers have found a way to turn this past into an asset. For this senegalese pharma clarin out weeds has become a lifeline. To the g. M. Plant in order to provide his village with a precious commodity few. We make try for charcoal we also use it for the roofs of our houses and the enclosures for the animals its a.

Would discuss because villages in this region have cut down almost all the trees for uses fuel tifa is a sustainable answer for cooking in a place where electricity and gas out of reach for most santigold doesnt any use tougher for charcoal it turns out the weed is a perfect material for a cooling waterproof roof to. Abraham cilla was racking his brains to think of a senegalese alternative to the tax relief he had seen in europe the answer was right on there is no use. To people really brutally i never heard of typhon so i put in my suitcase and took it to friends to show them the said it was possible and so it started. So a bill to school and homes from his tax time and has overseen training as a local artisans to take the method back to the villages around 50 men have become traditional factors through the program.

Must go our trash roofs the last 20 or 30 years the british. Entrepreneur. In the region threatened by Climate Change and ravaged by different station cooking on top of a charcoal under its hard for relief has given the village a sustainable means of tackling Serious Problems for as long as tougher thrives along senegals largest river rule people can take this nuisance plant into their own hands and build their future with it. Its amazing but almost a 1000000000 people still dont have access to reliable supply of electricity that means they have a hard Time Lighting their homes starving using all charging their phones all the internet and so on par improve the quality of life. It does indeed and weve all got a sensor in the trees to subsidize many homes in africa need a new home or all the solutions daylight is a Global Social enterprise that makes us products that are changing lives in kenya lets take a look. At radio. Charging station. Number like this these are all now Standard Features in favor karim homes but many other households in the area still rely on kerosene lamps which are dangerous and on healthy. Favor karim regenerates or electricity from solar panels she has a small home grid. She had the panels installed after seeing some on a neighbors house when i think its a big change before we were paying 55 shillings a day for electricity wed have power for a while and then it would be cut off the avoid but with the solar panels when we have 55 shillings days on t. V. But even so we have enough light to get the children ready on morning or its on all the time. Now to. Karim me and her husband are paying for the Solar Energy System in installments every month they use a mobile phone to transfer of the equivalent of 15 euros in 8 months it will be paid off. Although more than 70 percent of kenyans have access to electricity in semi rural areas like here and huge oddo only 40 percent do. But just as elsewhere electricity has become essential to daily life. To close the gap a Company Called d. L. Ice has set up stores around kenya that sells solar products for homes and small businesses. Esther new york runs one of the stores she Sells Everything from lamps to t. V. s and solar home systems. Today one of her technicians is going to install a system on the outskirts of courage otto. John is a local pastor hes decided to equip his new home with a Solar Energy System. The technician explains how it works it can be installed in just a few hours. By contrast getting connected to the public grid can take months and in just 2 years well have the environmentally friendly system paid off. Only going to city. And this 10 percent rate. So this one. Is the quickest to me of getting to the light it up to 30 is not. Something that was here you know. In the video i need from the front room to tell sometimes we can miss it when my work not. The lights canyon offices are located in nairobi cofounder net chosen has come from the u. S. To discuss future strategies for africa the social entrepreneur is now focusing on helping people who have recently lost access to energy sources. It is an injustice that you have 1300000000 people in the world who have to still burn kerosene for lighting when the light bulb was invented more than 100 years ago this doesnt make sense and we set a goal of getting 100000000 people off kerosene by 2020 and weve actually achieve that goal as of january 2020. Technologies like mobile banking have made it easy for d. Like to establish itself in kenya its the worlds 2nd biggest market for solar energy after india. Chosen and his colleagues are now hoping to expand into other markets in africa so were seeing a real change in awareness in general in the Public Sector with governments around what distributed solar energy can do and how if were going to provide universal Energy Access solar is going to be a critical part of that equation. Favor karim a small solar grid means that she no longer has to buy electricity tokens on her children have enough like to see one theyre drawing the Clean Energy Source even power as a security light in her front yard it helps deter thieves up nice. In the evenings we leave the outside light on and all our things are safe even if we leave the washing outside because when the lights on people cant tell if were at home or not. Access to solar power has made her familys life a lot easier and unlike other sources the suns energy will always be there. Thats a very cool indeed bringing electricity to People Living in remote areas i hope youve enjoyed these workshops it is a time for me to say goodbye i am sunday here in Company Uganda and of course i look forward to seeing the once again very soon.
