gwen sunday, making the come true by long term dream would be able to actually grow sunday web of lies starts june 6th on dw, the . and there is a global waste crisis, but the good news is it's never too late to take action with individuals kind of make choices in our everyday lives that make a difference as we can stop right now. welcome to the new edition of echo africa. i'm a mom of one day in lusaka, that'd be an over like goes nigeria is my co host cuz he lives

thank you. my love, i'm hello everyone for me to less of a look at what's coming up. why gun no need to gun equal? tennessee is 2 plus the 5 digit case social media influence size, raising awareness of boston industry pollution also stop cabbage spoiler. the beauty of this company's island attorney tanisha is olive oil production ways. the to well, what was thought the show right to every lagos. this is where i live and i do love the city, but it's one of the biggest in the world and the falls, one of the most polluted as well. as you can see, there is heavy traffic here, but that's only one of the reasons why it qualities, but another is always bonnie's been. so what can be done to improve the situation?

well, as thoughts are getting up early in the morning of the it's 6 o'clock in the morning and lagos. these early birds are about to run a marathon. there, part of a movement called urban better citizens, which is active and a number of african cities. it integrates physical activity and citizens science promoting new participation and it's push for more sustainable and healthy or urban environments. 40 right now, so it is more about a $0.42 so on and on with us. it uses up to collect equity to data and also to type a body in environments equally sensitizing people. and then along to a little while agreeing, we use the open, robust into this up from offering to capital. what is happening in idea of arguments about time legal struggles with bad air quality, especially during the dry season. gathering data is highly valuable for researchers

. housing them analyzed the extent of a problem. the 1st step in finding solutions. air pollution comes from a number of sources such as cars, open fires, or industrial emissions. weather conditions can further influence air quality. air pollution is measured. i'm looking at certain chemical compounds in the air. we breathe mostly nitrogen compound. so for ox signs, carbon monoxide whose own, in particular matter, or find the mirrors on monitors or helping to create a map of the city's air quality. road traffic and diesel generators are among the major pollution sources. the smoking of fish and open stove cooking, such as in this waterfront settlement, are further contributing factors. prolonged exposure to a high concentration of these compounds can severely damaged a long and is especially harmful for young and old people. other members of the general public use the citizens at to

a floating information on the urban and find. and these women have spotted a pile of jumps garbage that has been charged. as the charred remains reveal, the long stare observation and the data of lots can be fixed with better trash management link also produces $13000.00 tons of waste every day. and the cities to major landfills are already full to the brim. as the waste breaks down, it releases harmful gases including methane. the lagos waste management authority is in dire need of ideas and alternatives. these are landfills have been an operational for decades of 2 decades, and therefore we have to close them down. and in closing them down, we have to introduce circular economy practices, sorts in waste that source, which is one of the policies of the governments. or we're actually going to amend

the laws to making mandatory dots. it'd be residence must separate their waste at home in their homes. you must separate or waste into the paper as the plastics, the metals, and then the food waste. their plans for waste to energy plants, a bio gas facility, which could fuel bosses in lagos, as well as more of recovery facilities for recycling waste. to build citizen awareness, the legal waste management authority are long since advocacy officers to markets to inspect, educate, and help with complaints. this woman tells them about a problem with waste collection. here by a private contractor or p s p operator. this is the will not do, but the market remained complaining to give them the low month to free line for them to freely on the downfall. is it the free life on the line for them to

possibly i'd review then loma p a c or they are called you. this is all calls will be as the appraisals i'm not going to live without them florida. there has been progress in other areas. lama introduced new or cycling and waste bins in 2022. fitted with a ship to track collection. households are required by law to bind the bins and subscribe to weekly pickup, but many just cannot afford the $50.00 containers. if not all settlements are reachable. in the meantime, the runners have finished their marathon, the data they collected on their run reveals heavy pollution and some areas where it exceeds critical levels. i'm going to go to the graph now. so you can see what we started from what rates, and then going to read well go to some point that came down to you. these smoke

kept coming up between your identified area and you can just simply see inductive. ringback they present the data to the link of the environmental protection agency and discuss ideas to improve the situation. even of progress is slow. awareness of air quality is an important step and improving living conditions in lagos. we also report from here in africa and the massive amounts of plastic waste that collect in lakes and on the beach has an extra board takes us to europe and to scotland, which is facing a similar challenge. now we've visited a popular beauty spot them that has been ruined by little of nestled in the r a car helps unlock long in the scottish highlands, sits the village of our car. it could be a haven for nature lovers, if not for one problem,

plastic the shoreline is covered and it's we have millions and millions of pieces that make plastics. when the tide is out, we get kind of a amaica plastic sand just as a very heavy load here. and when the tide comes in, it's more of a micro classic sit. plastic waste from around the world washer is up here. jacqueline willis works for a local environmental group together with local residents. she regularly takes samples. the plastic is embedded into landscape, mixed with seaweed analogy it's formed, us pick lake, one meter deep, hundreds of meters long along the shore line. this is all coming up though. it's coming down the river. yeah, up from the i receive coming from all over the place. it's carelessly discarded letter. it's ending up where it's not supposed to be locked long to next to the c

waste floats in with seawater and also flows from the nearby city of glasgow. hen collection doesn't go far. heavy equipment is needed, but it's too costly for this small community. the trouble is that we can't separate the plastic from the see read chrome, the word from everything else. so this is just purely plastic of us. what we're dealing with as a whole compass it a cup of material. scotlands biggest city glass go slice about an hour of stream along the river, klein authorities estimate it's the source of past the waste in our car. the city is hired additional street cleaners and use as a boat to collect the worst of the river debris each day. allen swift and his colleagues head out onto the cloth. they can fill up to 10 floating

containers, but it is mostly fruit float and they'd be like the stuff for the scene. yeah. and a cons bowls, plastic, some people still dump stuff in the river. a little win for pianos that ever so much catty, the piano little bit, we launched the end of the clean up boat also collects larger trash along the river banks. ellen says they've seen real progress. the clyde is getting cleaner. we're seeing a lot more king specials us, so i'm in see true. they've pork policies that came to stuff. so maybe 20 years ago, you wouldn't be if you wouldn't have seen these these things. but smaller plastic fractions slip through floating down to last long. and our call

the local primary school is right on the water. the children know the pollution call to these to play there's a flight and then we can spanks nurses as like han, just to lecture some. sometimes we even take trips. dansville to like see what's actually happening. and like if you step in, you will good family really far. just in lester, it makes me feel really like i agree like sad because like i live literally right. much beach like and it just it just smells horrible. and for my highest, you can smell it, and its like, it looks disgusting. loc long's environmental activists are focusing on education. jacqueline willis visits schools, even in glasgow, are usually very light. she explains to the children why affording single use

plastics and packaging matters. meanwhile, locals have continued talks with scottish authorities. there is now a glimmer of hope. a new research project is being launched to address the problem . i get very depressed, seeing it, and i get but those get really angry. it kind of needs government level solutions. um, you know, we need it needs big actions, it needs things like the deposit returns, given these bands on certain single used plastic items, you know, so it needs, it needs big, big solutions against the highland backdrop. our car is plastic. pollution is best specially jar nature is, beauty has long been part of the regions, identity and it's livelihood for now is now the fashion industry is the 2nd most polluting 6 a world wide flash flash and produces 10 percent of the carbon emissions that drive

global warming plus huge amounts of waste coating get dumped in africa. well, what if things were different? our eco here this week, believe we can change and sees getting the message out that the den doran dump, signed on. the outskirts of nairobi covers 30 acres and it's one of the largest in the world genet chevy chain off and comes here to document the mountains waste with your cell phone. hi everyone. my name is to be paid on it. and the way since the freshman indicates us and to do that here in vendor on site to see the tech a with that ends up here. and i am especially interested in seeing the teks always that ends up in the dumps which such reveals the environmental activists wants to raise awareness of the problems caused by the fast fashion industry. quickly produced cheap quotes that are thrown away just as quickly causing ever growing

mountains of waste in many countries. when people see like videos like well, something like, usually like very shocked, especially those in kenya. what do you think about the under uh, for example, like people in the visit don't set them up. they don't know how it looks like. so when they see all the things that's happened, that's so curious. and most of them respond that they want to make changes in their lives. jeanette jimmy today is trying to convince people to change their behavior and live more sustainably and huge numbers of people get her message via her social media accounts. her most successful video today has been seen more than 10000000 times for me, the most important thing is that the call lens and the inducements i go 12 people, alexis appreciating that there were lending something that they didn't really know

about the, the clothes and the passion, industry, which is something that i always aim for when i'm shedding this be just because i want people to learn and to see that need to have depression and industry on the found. it's been calculated that the fashion industry produces up to 10 percent of the emissions that cause climate change. the mass of over supply and developed economies means change amounts of textiles for dumped a 2nd hand goods and countries such as can you it's an unsustainable situation that has scientists worried if we have 185000 times. i mean, but yeah. then definitely we'll be having 185000 times to be thrown over the next the or 5 years down. the line will be the only 2nd i close. we also have new close coming in. so we have a minimum of $200000.00 tons of fix them with that we have to deal with

even getting yeah. but yeah, one solution, jeanette should meet a offers in her videos as to 3 quotes with more respects. she regularly searches for interesting pieces. i think you come the 2nd hand markets and shows her followers how to make them look sheet again with little efforts the in addition to her digital activities, the 28 year old also gets to workshops and lectures like here at the fair fashion festival nairobi at the event mobile designers and artists showcase their collections made from recycled and sustainable materials. there's also a kind of swap shop where visitors can swap secondhand clothes. the you don't have to buy new clothes to, to the stylist, or to be stylish or to display,

shall i drilled? people have so many clothes already that they have both and they're not wearing it . so you come to events like this where you bring a number of clothes and then you extend it with someone else. and that's help has embraced slow flesh on, you know, is embracing slow fashion as a culture concept, defense fashion. not only ensures less waste. it also saves money in jeanette chevy pays experience. once people have learned about it and understand they find it useful. that's why it's so important to keep promoting. and she says, well, let's see if they make the young people and causing each other to like, attend more sustainable function events going to grow things, swaps buying stick on hand, making their own clothes. it makes me so happy because it's means that the walk that we're doing in the space is re, is reaching more people. and that the session industry is going to change for sure . and it can even be fun. instead of buying a new piece of clothing,

she crushing is it herself? and while she's doing it, she's probably already working on an idea for her next 3 and i was heard someone say waste. is it ways until you wish states all next for politics also to the issue of the country? is one of the woods leading or live or produces? of course they does to generates a lot of by products. and most of this is simply dispose of. but it's actually a valuable resource. i've had the puts excellent to use a this isn't this, it's only the waste left davis from poly loyal production have loan been recycled in tennessee and household. that was the spark of inspiration for you all entrepreneur, just seeing any fee leave on that because they had an idea of in my mind that i've

had since i was a child, because i visited the oil mills with my father know when the oil was being extracted, there's a black button, i saw that the promise from the call, it was used to the heating for cooking and so on and to set. and so let's just click new some sit there and he started making protects from hospice, left davis and spent several years developing suitable machines police. the launch production in 2022 is outputs has grown each year. the company is aiming to produce 600 tons and tons, 25, with fox and canada as main export markets in the south. the fonts for adults being trained part the runs of you seen philosophies all if waste fuel the briquettes can help costs deforestation as they've been 3 times longer. the woods, the roofs are less polluting than other fuel types that to nicea trust to him hold

. because the olive harvest always takes place in winter because come onto the local market just the right time. that helps restaurants and guest houses to cut the energy costs to the industry. the method in uh before i bought would at a certain price point for such a day, the share with word is dropped to 30 percent. i think i think it's an economical option. when i meet tennessee, it is a leading olive oil producer. so we using the waste not only reduces environmental the home full heating practices, it's a potentially lucrative product for domestic and export markets. in those still ways to accounts for roughly possible was waste world wide plastic mix up about 10 percent. it's hard to beat this problem because plastic is such a big part of so many every the items. just think of pocket to what it doesn't have to be. where off to gone to now where exits around the way to find all the time

that these plastic waste is a place on kinase otherwise, beautiful environment looking drains. how many wildlife and polluting beaches original and kinetic quick wecks full on n g o dedicated to fight to the plastic man is for the past 2 years, the team has been competing for a bond of plastic packaging. 10 percent of the population of gunner relies on the fishing industry and the moment so many communities where we saw the official folks, i've gotten more plastics. now this is, this is destroying livelihoods and that is the point where we need to switch. um switch all mine says switch all habits to us the most. that's the number one. by this way, just carrying a reasonable bag. is that because that's just reducing $10000.00 single use black slaves value without fusing a plastic. packaging may have several advantages,

but it takes centuries to become pause and offering softness in the packaging can be as few as cof. how's that are scientist one. it's really just cost me disease condition enough, but it's going to affect organizations, right? so it's something that i see 10 because saying i'm trying to find alternatives to this plastics. ridgemont and his team wants to make a difference. they wants to get rid of latest interpreters, supermarkets, and drinks barclays and gun at to sign it for a long trip parts to reduce the use of single use plastics. by 2030 ones, you may have to play the pots to, to de ridgemont and his team advocates in the supermarkets to recorded serious gauge promoting sustainable packaging from the use of reasonable shopping bags. an easy way to cut down on the plastics. some of the code businesses have already switched to using less plastic to package the products. this female own cosmetics

company makes a body lotion from little color. so organic materials. they use color, bosh jude bumble, and discarded cost sags to package the echo some, it takes forever. multiple packaging options can be completely plastic free. it's very important to us to be natural and sustainable as a brand, especially, you know, growing up and gone. uh, we all knew the problem of single use plastic receipts everywhere choke got this, especially when it rains and everywhere flags and thoughts on from of the boy, not she, she was a victim of the flooding. way. she had to, you know, basically unpack everything and restarts all over. and so when we started an inquiry, the idea was that to me, wanted a business gosh, show will generate some waste cover. we want to do our pots to minimize that waste as much as possible to the university of gun i track scientists are trying to find

plants. these solutions for packaging. that's suppose no risk to health or environment. this manual kennels from the seat, the wealth we are expecting. such summits do this lots to quote to the sophisticated by for my son. so that we come to use a 4 foot pathogen. we can also use the code for us food, right? and these can prevent themselves on most of body, so prevent most of them all the data from getting get food for confirmation. was added to the appeals to convert this to a problem like leaving to send in those make some of this for me to gain performing fun for packages. i have an easy way to avoid. plastic waste is to use be by box. derek, stuff for on his team. make them by hand. possibly from recycled. pat. demonte started to catch up by the oaks if possible. bottom plastic bags will allow them to expand. some guy named shopkeepers are ready to do away with plastic bags and

implants of both farm paper fellows, a tex out of 10 it to use if used both feeding off the other bits, an option and more importantly to prevent waste ridgemont and his theme hoops to inspire as many good news as possible to change their habits. i tina country one by the time. well i'm, that's all we have for you on today show has something inspired you. well we love hearing from you and you can ride to us at echo at dw dot com. i am while i'm on the go on the loo saca saying good bye and hope to see you soon. i to and you can find most reasonable. it's those the ability on our content and beyond by searching for eco africa online is goodbye for me to curriculums and lagos, nigeria, thank you for watching. and we hope you to the game next take by the
