And that represents 5% of the uks consumption of tomatoes. last year, we saw this world—first project being built using an environmentally friendly heating system. a typical greenhouse would burn fossil fuels to create the heat that you need to go through these rails. but our greenhouse takes waste heat from sewage treatment works. we use that heat instead of burning fossil fuels. the hard hats and hi—vis gear we wore last time have been replaced by coveralls to protect the crops from bringi...

By drygate brewery across the clyde there. its concocted from unwanted fruit and veg that would otherwise end up in landfill. itjust tastes like a fruity sour beer, so fair dos. good, but dont enjoy it too much because it is just part of a campaign that is lasting for a month over cop 26. ok, so not a long—term plan then. tell me about the bread beer. this is made by a brewery called toast, which is made from the leftover ends of loaves which the otherwise chucks in the bin. fair enough. i mea...

Tell me about the bread beer. 0k. this is made by a brewery called toast. its from the leftover ends of loaves which the sandwich otherwise chucks in the bin. fair enough. ok, but the booze industry is responsible for a lot of emissions, isnt it? they grow the crops, they add the water, they package it, they heat up, they cool it down again. at least british breweries are focusing on the issue. total co2 emissions from it have almost halved over the past decade. crumbs! which this doesnt taste l...

When the rains people rely on to grow crops dont come at all. now that the weather has been changing, we no longer receive rainfall, the crops are dying in the gardens. last season i planted two full acres of beans, but i did not harvest anything because there was no rain. and many others are facing the same problem. in november, the eyes of the world were here on scotland, when glasgow hosted cop26, the latest major summit to tackle climate change, amid warnings that time is running out to limi...

Is in a greenhouse for us. jen. yes, im here in the norwich greenhouse and it looks completely different than it did on my last visit. its absolutely filled with plants now. there are 378,000 tomato plants here, and that represents 5% of the uks consumption of tomatoes. last year, we saw this world—first project being built using an environmentally friendly heating system. a typical greenhouse would burn fossil fuels to create the heat that you need to go through these rails. but our greenhous...

>> theyre pretty devastating to local populations too. they can collapse the roofs of buildings. they can stop jet engines from working. theyll smother crops and pollute water supplies. so yeah, the folks nearby are going to be feeling the effects of this eruption for quite a few months, i would say, at the very minimum. >> reporter: vulcanologist jess phoenix talking to cnn earlier today. in the hours that followed, several communities that reported 2 to 3-foot waves, including iwate, reporting...

Blanket of volcanic ash across the country including on water supply systems and stagnant water. we are seeing agricultural crops that have been completely blanketed in volcanic ash. we are also seeing that sheltered housing of many people have been devastated. so there are a lot of people who are now staying with family and friends in safe areas but there is also some level of fear in the hearts and minds of communities because of potential another wave of volcanic eruption or a tidal wave. the...

That you need to go through these rails. but our greenhouse takes waste heat from sewage treatment works. we use that heat instead of burning fossil fuels. the hard hats and hi—vis gear we wore last time have been replaced by coveralls to protect the crops from bringing in external bugs and viruses. workers here have their clothes cleaned on site. and how many people are working here now? because when i came before, there was nobody. yeah, so we have about 50 people currently working in here o...

To aung san suu kyi herself, really depends on the situation on the ground in myanmar — the countrys engulfed in very serious armed conflict over the border in myanmar now, weve got very serious attacks on the main capital there. other parts of myanmar being attacked by helicopter gunships. with that level of conflict, if there is a resolution, ultimately things could change very much on the ground if the military remains under pressure — and its not inconceivable that aung san suu kyi will ...

0h, right, in that case i will have a pint of lager, please. weve got two on tap today. one is made from bread, the other one is a local brew made from old scraps. excuse me? ill explain. right. you try that, this is a zero—waste sour made by drygate brewery across the clyde there. its concocted from unwanted fruit and veg that would otherwise end up in landfill. itjust tastes like a fruity sour beer, so fair dos. good, but dont enjoy it too much because it is just part of a campaign that is l...
