5:31 am
from our environmental magazine. so welcome to a new issue of africa. i am sandra t. nobody righty in camper. uganda. thank sandra. there are really more amazing features on our show. so stay tuned. my name is chris lambs at this is what we have our past lives this week. ah, how to sustain a be brief palm. we rolled lobby in that the r c pal sweden is educating very young children about the environment. and how an ad in senegal is detecting illegal minds. but let's get back to your topic. sandra. there's more to it than just par in light bulb. isn't there? the whole project is based in uganda. that is right crease in theory, uganda could produce all of its own electricity. though we sell parts over energy
5:32 am
to neighboring countries. that means that only 40 percent of uganda's residents have access to electricity out in the country. it's only a bit more than 40 percent. that's where this project in the northern part of the country comes in by showing how decentralized energy can be generated in rural areas. no more darkness in helen young whose house it has been about a year since her home was connected to electricity and since made glenwell would they have been seen electricity. that was the 1st one for them to see when legal not believe a village of god. god power, at the same time, electricity is changing lives and booking for us here. long for getting electricity. my customers used to return to the homes early due to the darkness,
5:33 am
but with power. but we can sell up to midnight. got good is a remote family community located about 300 kilometers north of uganda's capital. it borders which he sun fords, national park, uganda's largest conservation area and home to endangered species like elephants in 2009. when you gained an aerospace in general, peter nickle visited the ostrich village in the district of noah. he saw a need for clean energy possible. it was near the national park. safer could do something in oil which would reduce depression, firewood would be interesting, concept naturopathic. secondly, no, i had a lot of agriculture, which means whatever we could do with agriculture waste, we could do it in noise. so in 2012 p, tanya could set up a private company. today the plan in got good, generate 64 kilowatts of renewable energy from other cultural biomass, who opposes call guess if occasion you have the shape. all the gas of fire,
5:34 am
just a spark is enough to get the material to heat up to a 1000 degrees celsius. at that temperature, it breaks down from rice. hospice may cover granite shells, copy us into methane and hydrogen rockefeller. while those gases are light, they arrive to the top, this fucked out and go to power the engine. the miss harvest has just ended. after removing the colonel's for food, the woman used to throw away his car. now the supply them to people, michael as a raw material to produce the energy they used at the homes who kept the dismal bullies. we sell it to them. they bait. we get money almost every time we get money in this one. then we get money near less husks.
5:35 am
the company also uses the waste from the gas if occasion during the process guesses a, separated from the solid fire mess. it leaves behind tons of solid residue called bio clay. there are micro pause form in the 5 micro pause. ok, perfect. for back period to flourish. when bacteria flourish in the buy china, the soil then released nutrients into the ground automatically fertilizing the ground. so by a char, improve soil moisture, reducing the need for irrigation by a char helps keep the soil photo reducing the need for none organic fertilizers. during the planting season, he gives the buy your car out for free to about a 1000 farmers in the region. helen young will also get so the farmers are thus
5:36 am
benefiting from their own waste delivered to the company. so the cycle is complete and keeps on going. it's a virtual cycle, which takes us from the vicious cycle of poverty to a virtuous cycle of prosperity. every year peter nickle can produce upto 100 tons of bio car. he only uses half of that as fertilizer. the other half is used to me clean cooking fuel in the form of pellets. he also gives an alpha see to families to avoid cutting down trees for firewood. so far the company has offset over 50000 tons of c o 2 annually. my barber con, whether norrick on tyranny, i only use a few pallets to cook now compared to the big volume of firewood that i previously yellow. even if i late a few pellets. my cooking is foster family that was here baby, but that there in the last decade, peter nickle has said
5:37 am
a 5 many green plants in uganda, causing some 4500000 euros rays, mainly through a venture capital, his hybrid model, bexar power from bio mass with solar, another clean energy source, the plant generates a total of $500.00 kilowatts power in more than a 100 household, businesses and institutions. in the evening. we can switch on our biomass, gas or fire and run it. by day time we have the solar running. and we have a small amount of battery capacity to balance that load. so we have uniform electricity, 24 hours a day. every day of the year. on top of that, returning your call started a new project, electricity mobility among the rural community. he has already 5 electric vehicles running in got good in the near future. he wants to expand his p energy model to zambia botswana in south africa. and even further away to spain in the united
5:38 am
kingdom, it is a fantastic project and a genuine cycle when the harvest left overs become fertilizer again, i'd be ent for too often. we only extract roma 2 years, devastating nature in the process. illegal gold mines are a very point net example. these are doing a bit this week explores how an app is helping to detect them. ah, there are around a 100 illegal gold mines in southeastern synagogue. residents here depend on gold to survive. to extract the precious metal, they used toxic chemicals like mercury, which a large amount is toxic to humans and wildlife and pollute the environment. but one senegalese geologist in darker has developed
5:39 am
a computer program that can identify and locate illegal mining operations marrow nom, take satellite images from different regions, and updates them regularly with recent pictures. this is dorothea gary in question is this white area shop with 8 years later where you can see how this mine has expanded? don't know when we saw the results. we noticed that the satellite images detected the surveillance sites automatically on. so we knew that we to develop reliable software from last year that she had the idea while doing her doctoral work. she was reading studies from the amazon and saw they worked with satellite images to locate illegal mines. the president of seneca mackie saw honor merit known for developing the act. she has been working with the ministry of mine since last year, to finalize the program in accordance with government regulations and develop
5:40 am
a version for smartphones. but luckily got on open. the application will make it clear how much damage is being done to the environment, to the live on my machine, she libby, and if it's developed well, it can even detect water pollution diesel. the app should be ready to go by the end of the year. then the ministry will be able to detect and shut down illegal minds or convert them into legal minds without the use of toxic chemicals. and tell about again, if you are also doing your bits, tell us about it, visit our website, or send us a tweet patch tank doing yo bit. we share your stories from real gold to the liquid. gold beer is a belong to live rates, especially in gemini. no gentleman's drink, almost a 100 liters a year per capita,
5:41 am
and they are proud of the purity low. which states thought beer can only be booed from water barley mode. oh, and yes, that's right, sandra. but so cold special beers around the rice, these are crossed b is that with special permission can be proved using additional ingredients as well. in that way, the brewing industry is also default in energy to reside clean. harrison example from berlin. beer is a real hit. the world over, it usually contains malt hops, water, and ease. but there's a more adventurous option. spread fear beer out of stale bread. one, berlin bass producer knows how to do just that. we shall, lumpkin uses baked goods, meant for the dumpster to pro non alcoholic beer,
5:42 am
paid him what he hasn't heard from, via came up with the idea for bread beer because food waste and sustainability are huge topics, of course. what are their fees? and there's a lot of bread in particular being produced that ends up being fed to pigs or put in a bio gas plant. that's their thought. and that's a pity. so we decided to turn bread into beer and build awareness about the topic. i'm all of the same old mentioned from our breweries that make bread beer aimed to cut down resource consumption and avoid waste. it takes about $75.00 kilos a bread to make $27000.00 bottles of bread. beer berlin placed master baker. tail custer carefully plans how much to produce with are always leftovers. but not just any bread can be brewed into beer. and as much of the info with it has to be a bread without any other ingredients. besides grain, meaning no raisins, no knots, no coil seeds. it's because they want ferment reliably and make this good tasting
5:43 am
beer, as it should be. other, when done mists with use them retribution, good. people had been making bread into beer for centuries like bosa from egypt and mesopotamia or class from medieval eastern europe. in recent years, bread beer has been seeing renaissance and giving craft beer brewers like miss al lumpkin. new ideas. he 1st crumbles the old brand into little pieces and adds it to the mash at the start of the brewing process. of the, in my somebody mission, me of us. so here in the mash fat we mix water with mold grind, and enzymes are activated that turn the starch into sugar. i missed that takes about an hour on the about india. the special thing about this beer is that we and 5 per cent bread to the mash mixture, and then pump the mash into the purifying bat where we separate the liquid from the solid noise about 10 mit on. this liquid is called beer word,
5:44 am
and that's what we make beer out as organ on. if you have would. so leave it on speed that call. then he adds east. it would normally convert the sugar into alcohol, but not with bread beer. for these i've worth high a, b, m, a board, make this non alcoholic bread beer. we use a special yeast that can only for men to one type of sugar again. and the rest of the sugar stays in the beer, meaning not much. alcohol is created without again, sydney is over like, or drinks containing up to 0.5 percent alcohol. i considered non alcoholic in germany. once the beer is finished brewing, it just has to be put into bottles and it's ready for sale. but how does bread, beer taste? oh, it's a lie and it's very trudy with odds being very dominantly acidic. i do think that albert should work towards achieving some same
5:45 am
ability factor and minimizing their water usage using sustainable packaging in like quite easily recyclable. i think especially nowadays anything that can help us environments good thing and if i can drink beer and help them from dustin, why, why would i not like? that's great. the bread beer trend helps prevent waste and safe resources and shows how more sustainable brewing doesn't mean sacrificing taste. oh, did you know that babies and toddlers have the greatest learning ability between the ages of one and 3? during this time, more synopsis form in the brain than any other period of development. and in keeping with moto, you can't teach an old dog new tricks. teachers and st in are also starting to
5:46 am
teach children, and fermented awareness up a very young age. for me to boot mean there's no such thing as bad weather in a swedish preschool, the national curriculum calls for every preschooler to spend at least 2 hours outdoors the eat or ox score, or rain or shine schools taken a step further. oh, nearly the entire day is spent outdoors the children discover nature through experience and play using all 5 senses. for this group of 2 and 3 year olds has spent 6 weeks learning about fire. drawing fires, drawing with charcoal made by burning wood, watching films about fire and more. it's a hands on immersive experience. it's easier to see how a fire works or how to light a fire. and to talk about what you need to light, a fire, you need the heat, you need the materials, you need the oxygen. if you wanna it's, it's not there,
5:47 am
it's going to blow out. and so we want them to do that really from early years, because then we believe that hopefully when they're in school and they have or other classes, then we remember a lifelong relationship with nature. born out of curiosity, adventure and play. where does the wood to light fires and cook them come from? and what happens to a forest when its trees are chopped down? ah, let's give you hope you can make some boot now. okay. o cock out all muffins, movies. today they're making pancakes and like every meal, there's a hidden lesson within. oh oh, it's much better for kids to learn in authentic environment. so if we got to teach
5:48 am
them about dividing and counting, i'll be counting kids. i been dividing the pancake and it said, so it's we talk a lot about fruits now when we divide fruit. so, so that's, that's the most important thing to do to actually do with this, not to do it in theory, the, to do a practical. so did that and they can practice sweden's 1st rain or shine school sprouted up in 1985. today there are 200 of them which teach children about sustainability through experienced based learning. almost 70 percent of sweden is covered in forest and has concern about climate change and environmental issues grows. more and more families are turning to forest schools. i know that this rain or shine school near stock home 300 children are on the waiting list. educator say children here aren't only learning about nature being outdoors, enhances learning, the cortisol level goes down the stairs,
5:49 am
domain level goes up in the cortisol. his distress hormone leave, if you go to green and blue and via the stress level goes down, the concentration will be high and is bent to concentrate on so that the children also learn how to take on responsibility for nature and for themselves. and their for us, it's the leander. it's good for them to, to learn how to handle their own stuff. and it's also very, very proud that they can do that, that they can carry their backpack in that they can open ethan and bring out their water bottles if they need. and that's also any to be able to feel if i'm too cold . if i made to halt, i need to take my glove. so if i am thirsty, we want them to be able to do that. and we also work a lot of taking care of each other because that's the same thing. if you want to take care of something you like, you take care of your friends and we believe that if you, if you take care of each other it's, it's a much better place to be for all of us. after returning from their forest
5:50 am
adventures, it's time for a mid day rest. some of the children up for their sleeping bags indoors often, but most of them head right back outside on to the front porch. favorite pillow or stuffed animal in hand for an al fresco nap. oh, wow. i wonder if i could take been outside in the cold all day and away i'm glad we're heading back to africa without next feature. more specifically, to the democratic republic of congo. that is wide creeks and there is one high protein delicacy that is an important part of the diet, in many regions of congo. it might not appear that every one the you can decide for yourself whether you would like it on your dinner plate. this palm tree is already lost, but it stops, could still contain valuable treasure. and combos. emo pembert is looking for pussy
