A refugee man visits her neighbor. As he arrives her home, he first hears only chicken clucking and wonders whether he will find mama Konyu or not. 

The man starts to call her aloud. While singing at the backyard, Mama Konyi sweeps goat dung. Upon hearing her neighbor’s voice, she stops sweeping and responds to him. 

The man asks what she wants to do with them. Disappointedly in her tone, Mama Konyu replies that the goat dung smells a lot and so she wants to sweep and burn them. The man interjects and explains to her the easiest steps she can follow to turn goat, cattle or poultry waste plus that of plant residues into a rich manure. He says once the component decomposes in a pit, Mama Konyu can spread them in her garden to improve the garden's soil fertility. The man testifies reaping huge benefits from using animal wastes as manure.

An agricultural expert discourages the community from burning and misuse of animal wastes, adding that dung from goats, cattle or chicken wastes improve soil fertility and provide crops with rich nutrients for suitable growth. He tells refugees and locals that spreading animal wastes on their crops or the trees they planted will lead to better yields and eventually, a green refugee settlement.

A hungry man wakes up from a day nap in anticipation that his wife will bring him lunch food. As his hunger deepens, he loses patience. He jumps off the bed and approaches his wife at the kitchen.

When he opens the kitchen door, he angrily asks his wife for food.  However, his frustrated wife tells him there is no food yet because people are being chased back from the forest over firewood gathering. Before she completes explaining her statement, her husband slaps her, and starts beating her up. 

A neighbor hears her loud cry and runs in to help. He separates the couples and explains to them about the new concept of making briquettes from plant residences as a cheap, convenient and safe cooking fuel they can make from home.

An environmental expert then warns refugee men and women against fighting over fuel for cooking, explaining that women and men should work together to make briquettes as fuel for cooking. He says briquettes can be made faster, burns for long, produces enough heat, and cooks clean and faster, leading to low demand for firewood and a green refugee settlement.

A man whistles as he walks to his garden at mid-morning. He finds her neighbor, Ms. Akulia, removing and making heaps of dried plant wastes. 

The man greets Akulia and then asks her why she is heaping the dried plant residues. Akulia replies, saying she wants to burn them before planting crops. The man interrupts her, telling her by burning the plant residues she degrades the soil fertility, deprives it of useful organic nutrition, and pollutes the air and worsens the harsh climatic changes. 

An agricultural expert warns community members against burning plant residues, stressing that plant residues are organic manure to the soil, provide heavy mulches to crops and trees by preventing excessive heat from stunting growth while retaining water for long period. This he says moves the community to a fertile land with green refugee settlement.
