1:30 am
so, but just a glimpse behind the facade of this energy time, tell us, gosh, come russia's political weapon starts february, 3rd on dw, the climate change con, jeopardize and tie economic sectors and take away people's livelihoods. but in many cases, such solutions can help us to adapt ad opportunities to make life better for rules . welcome to a new edition of a cool africa. i'm presented loads an idea. once again, we've got the pack show for you today. let's dive straight to coming up. empowering goals. how us so lombard backpack is changing lives a row,
1:31 am
you can feel real food, safety dwellers reach steam, pollution crises, we haven't got it installed. proper. got past, we'll meet store meant by, you know, re eco friendly trust collection of recycling in kenya via a smartphone. now can you imagine catching fish with palm leaves? it's part of an issue. and fission methods used of tanisha is kick in the islands cold shop. the odds, especially in the environment to me, frankly called joined. also see how echo offer eco went there to watch these amazing technic of the sea is alika board 2nd time today. he's once again heading out to going fishing, using an angel technique found only here on the kind of items often busy as east coast. it's cold, sofia,
1:32 am
and involves catching fish with the help of palm fronds. almost sure to come in yet i woke up. i've always worked at sea when i was a kid, i went fishing with my dad on the end of it. and when i finished my studies and returned home, my automatically went back to fishing them. each sophia is arranged as a triangular barrier. the palm fronds can be seen and the shot a waters around the archipelago. the fishing technique relies on titled comments to drive the fish into the traps. unlike fishing troll is the shot fia don't. com, the marine environment. instead, they presented bio diversity. they have an active, but i think, but i think the problem with a dragnet says that they don't allow anything to escape with the palm branches, fish, find holes to swim through the hotel and activity that people is friend . i mean guinea does is also on board. he's not a fisherman,
1:33 am
but an artist. and he's fascinated by this ancient fishing technique. traditionally, it involves the use of date poem bronx, his skinny, does they, to a part of the kind of islands, cultural heritage. in his studio, he creates various products to sell using different parts of the palm. it's listed in the head by the basis of the care, kenny and shot c. a is a cage that inspired me to create decorative objects for indoors and outdoors. i tried to retain the original look how was i that he sees himself as an ambassador official here in 2020 unesco, declare that part of humanities, intangible cultural heritage. it's also linked to angel traditions and cultural practices. up on i was using this method as a basis for my project without really knowing how it works. once i learned more, i fell in love with the c panel. but times have changed some now use
1:34 am
plastic traps is that cheaper. others have abandoned the practice altogether. is time consuming. and industrial fishing has decimated fish stokes. so the whole and the shelf you has also plummeted. but some fishermen are actively campaigning to preserve the tradition, especially because it works in harmony with nature. and the palm branches get fish somewhere to hide and live. it's an ecological method that preserves and respects the environment and we'll have a valid via this fisherman. the lead shot fia will continue just on the test of time as the fish cool this way a far superior to the catch from industrial fishing. good, what's the sure brought to assure a live? that's why they're considered to be of better quality than those caused by other means. you know, you typical and high quality fish is an important source of income for the occupant
1:35 am
to go on an added tool for to risk to visit the islands. but for allie, a couple, sophia fishing is more than a trade. it's positive, good can, is unique cultural identity. that's now at risk of disappearing. well, let's look at the past all our ancestors how to shop the system. and if the view when you come in, they would build it up over the summer months. it shouldn't, they admit today having a shots here requires significant financial capital for the, for the money that many unable or unwilling to invest. and so she fishing continues to dwindle. even though it's so sustainable, why climate change poses huge challenges for many economic models, reducing the impact on the environment can also be a business opportunity. generally making a difference while also making a profit without head to kenya to meet one very resourceful woman. with
1:36 am
a vision to promote a secular economy of social enterprise, collect waste. recycle is plastic and these products, if you have them on bus a and it's all done with a mix of old and new technology. a, an app for trash entrepreneur teva hygiene e wants to use it to reduce plastic pollution in mombasa, anyone can register to have their plastic waste collected from home. you are able to book waste management services on the go on the mobile application and using authorized waste manages. then you are able to trade or do nature plastics and we have full cash incentive. kenya's coastal city is drowning in plastic garbage. it's trashing up the streets and polluting the ocean a year and a half ago, teva had team, he started her own business because the city wasn't providing adequate sanitation
1:37 am
surfaces. one of the major challenges in most a county is the indigo dump. think of mixed plastic, wasting open spaces. she's providing incentives to counter this by paying participants, depending on the type of plastic about one euro for 10 kilos per business now has 10 full time employees. first they inspect the plastic to make sure it's been properly cleaned and sorted by the apps users, then they weigh it. finally, they shred it with an eco friendly shredder that runs solely on muscle power. the startup cells, most of it's collected plastic to businesses who further process it to shreds can be melted and molded into plastic boards, like those they use in their own hand cards. the startup has already collected more than $11000.00 kilos of plastic drink or pilot phase. we've been able to on board more than 1608, uses onto the mobile app in, in old town in cooperation with more or less accounting,
1:38 am
department of environment and funded waste management. we've been able to collect waste from about 6000 household one and a half years later today, seeing how successful this project has been filled me with so much joy and pride. this phone and made of testing chaise. physical packets might be handy, but they quickly found in the garbage bin and they don't roles. you know, web special, we chose the journey of such a sashay from the origins that the rule materials it's made from to its ends on the rubbish shape. we find out why the number of such chase is growing and why the so lucrative, so businesses and so disastrous optimists. find out more d, w dot com slash plastic. that's one impressive woman. and we have both to meet and now the basics equal hero comes from uganda. for more than a decade, a non profit organization has been empowering girls to take control of their lives
1:39 am
and become king makers. she has developed a small bag with multiple functions to make it easy for girls to go to school each day. us to do the studies when the sun goes down. the young woman eagerly await it. it's no visit by naples or relatives, shown cousins. and de leon, i'm would you have an order with a customer in the to sooner? technicians installed a sort of more to here a little while ago. now, the light bulbs of flickering properly due to the intimate flow of electricity. we have to find out where the problem lies. the job gives them new prospects of good some money from the, from the system. like to is so then they what says enabled us,
1:40 am
that we have really, really limited the, this process. so for you to the main, the 1st seal fuels into the main. so that's, that's a initiative this. the susan, the tuneful also benefits from solar energy put in a different way. the 15 year old school go owns that backpack with an integrated community, solar panels. it can charge a lamp. this helps the study at night. in turn, the lumpkin load for, for the cell phone, this app that you say, please read my books tonight. you don't have a list. yeah. to me as you see you so. so have me to send my lease. i'm going to pass my exams, the 3 young woman we've introduced concentra, mula, my, and just social interest premier from the yukon and capital compiler. for the
1:41 am
experiences with the solar energy man, just a self gets involved when the employees look for plastic bags on the side of the road as a solar backpacks a made of recycle. plastic garbage is a big problem in compiler. so we try and make a difference in using these recycling this plastic way and showing the community we have coming from very easy to recycle with then that then we'd be in the system. after the plastic bags happened, please turn into solar backpacks with cute water proof material. on the outside about 20 women i employed for jamila, my and just foundation. they receive about $5.00, but packed, packed, some of the backpacks. a sold for more than $20.00. but for women and girls can get them for free. is more than a 1000 black parts have already been sold for, donated the backpacks allowed a young woman to be able to discreetly bring feminine hygiene supplies to school.
1:42 am
many teenage girls would otherwise stay home during that period, causing them to suffer academically. the issue that we missed a shift to you on the bus. that was the problem is the school. so the us to get a better school back to susan. she often has to do work around the house after school, and she's only allowed to study once it's dark out, which would be impossible without the solar lamp. the next morning on her way to school, the sooner lamp in her backpack is recharged. susan has shown improvement according to a teacher who also covers scientific and environmental subjects. she's pleased that
1:43 am
the soul of backpack is a convincing practical example of plastic recycling. the bumps up from was much is so it does become impractical. but what use a good grades the folder is to look for to is unemployment. as so often the case for young women and you kinda and there is another way, goes was tools offers a solution, a program set up by social interest for nurturing and lemme younger young women, can you see vocational training certificates for supposedly typical meal occupations? sharon could use his post to receive solar montville training here. now the 22 year
1:44 am
old. so the technician started up on business and she has no solve the problem with a flickering lightroom after cleaning up the solar module enough and of tricity is now. so we do it then after a minor difficulty, the night reliably stays on. solar, paul is one renewable, and i just saw. so that's part of a clean, a green, a future. here in africa. we're all familiar with wind energy. and i drew paula to what did you know the oceans can also, so also saw so far, oceans cover more than 70 percent of a planet. so we're talking about an almost bound list results here. but technology is not fully developed yet. and there are still some questions, but let's take a look at how it could work. there is a way to turn the ocean and then on limits. it posts. all you need to something
1:45 am
like this. plus really warm and cold water. let's see me, leave me a wreck to us. technology is called ocean demo energy conversion. so it's oh tech. and so i mean, it takes advantage of the temperature difference between gold and cold water. when you look at the surface of the ocean, the water heater can be quite new because it's keeps it up by the sun in tropical waters that can be around 26 degrees celsius. but the deeper you go and everyone who swims and a lake or dives in an ocean experience, is that the kona, the water gets at 1000 meters deep. the temperature reaches roughly 4 degree celsius. and this difference in temperature is what ocean thermal energy conversion utilizes. it's quite simple, you need a heat exchange of the warm surface. what's the heat? so fluid that has a low boating point, usually that's ammonium, that fluid evaporates aging is theme and that steam runs a turbine generating electricity similar to
1:46 am
a regular steam. and then this thing gets cooled by the deep sea water back into a liquid. and the cycle repeats. well, see what i itself doesn't boy like here with this thing, my hands on now basically the same water which now heats up the fluids inside. and as it can see, it goes up a and bear with me a tom on in there. it was spent. this process can run for 24 hours, 7 days a week, unlike other renewables, such as winds or soda. and when you have a great to a temperature difference with water surface water like this one here, but process can run even quicker and create more energy the wow. 5 that is so quick. the groundwork for this technology was late in 1881 by french businesses. zach i've seen some pop is student george flow that actually built the 1st book, unsuccessful low tech land in cuba. in 1930 lights. a interesting note tech peak
1:47 am
when oil prices exploded during the oil crisis. in 1918 us president, jimmy caught the signs of law to ensure the production of 10000 megawatts of electricity from tech in the next 2 decades. the problem here is that you need to get that cold, deep sea water up to the surface or on show where the heat exchanger has major limits. in fact, the is that we need a big temperature difference between the surface and the deep sea water. the one surface water is available only around and a tropical equitorial zone. that's crucial because a smaller temperature difference means less power generates it. yes, so from the mission is to dress a real problem in getting people to a on a generate please basically how well this is dan greg. his company is looking to build the biggest outtake platform, to date, a $1.00 megawatt unit and sell to me and print to pay what we have. we take it
1:48 am
because we are pulling this really close to the different thing. well, 520 degrees and all the way top. we also have the lease from the credit ratings and many of the as islands near the equator, rely on these little generates of power tech put, change that oldest studies estimate that if you disregard practical m, find them so huddled outset could pile the entire wells, hypothetically, of today estimates for a $100.00 megabyte. tech pond can range from $780000000.00 to $1500000000.00 us dollars. a big unknown is the cold water pipe today, hot plastic pipes, 2 to 3 meters in diameter, a pretty standard before a 100 megawatt pod. you need pipes almost 4 times that size and pipes that big
1:49 am
haven't been developed yet. it has proven so tricky that a floating opec near the indian state of tommy and nato did not succeed because of cold water pipe failure. and even if it works, storms can destroy the entire thing. that's what happened to one of the 1st part of plants in 1930. this uncertainty has even driven away companies with more than 40000000000 u. s. dollars in revenue, lockheed martin was set to develop the biggest opec pond dates in china, but dropped the project because of the costs. another big question mark is the actual effect on the environment because you're moving insane amounts of water. we're talking about 4300000000 kilograms of warm water and 2200000000 kilograms of cold water per day. for a small plant, that's about 16000000 best tops on what. so. there are a lot of question marks about attacked the economics, the environmental side effects, the cold water pipe,
1:50 am
and today's ponds. i just way to tiny to figure anything of that out. and in the last 10 years, not much. this happened. so until series money is put into it will take probably won't be taking off any time soon with inflation driving up for prices across africa. and the rest of the world mainly is struggling to put food on the table. fresh fruits and vegetables come be especially expensive. so how about growing your own on our brand government project into on this vague, it shows that it was also produced, held the food at home, and even turn 18 to operate as the facilities. benefits of the community. nestled up to the highways offices of downtown johannes, but lies lowering through. but it's no high income neighborhoods. in south africa, food prices are used by 14 percent this year, and residents here a barely scraping by every day and tides. sometimes they don't. and as you can see,
1:51 am
the green people i see last time i usually buy the books. big 5 ran last week, i go to the, i see the books, it was 75, run the waiting up to 14 shoulder go up. there's a little short little apps to have managing nowadays, if to cut one way out of the predicament could be urban agriculture. the victoria yards present in lawrenceville is just one example of what could be possible in john is this revamped industrial sites much so piece of mancha bonnie wants to move to beach urban dwellers to grow and process their own food. this beautiful, this is mean. it's very good. you can even put it on tv and see when to be in new i t. i love to so much here, john, his book self proclaimed green, leading. it's the green business college, a place dedicated to inspiring people to get their hands dirty in the soil,
1:52 am
and we can live in from it. the good economies, big. so as a college, much as a cover all those sectors that, that i mentioned was touch with a new food. and then the fluids. we said at the beginning and the beginning is foods for about $75.00 euros. the college offers a 5 day workshop teaching skills to grow organic food, cool kids, and preserve it today. my company's teaching has students to be paid, sharpening on how to pick a which device will storage. it's done with household staples like vinegar, sugar, lessons, but the green business college also goes beyond planting cooking on preserves. and we cut part of this training with business. you have an exposure because we're a business coordinates and do also want them to be and up in us who doesn't go beyond doing this hudson's for themselves. i attended a composed class that told me that you can also have make it garden on the head
1:53 am
stuff. these. you cannot see, i don't have space, they've got these also tires. actually, that's what i learned, that we can actually convey to allow waste into samsung products. south africa can produce enough to feed its population within 2021 in full. how soon wins hungry? because of the rising costs. making healthy food? affordable was one reason can offend poco, got into agriculture, was that since he graduated from the green business college 4 years ago now runs a small urban farm in the north of johannes. but yeah, the trained musician believes that people in cities like i need to re learn how to grow their own food on his plots. he regularly teaches young glucose, basic farming principles. i hope to see everyone not competing about how to guide the more, you know, customer take this to big get guidance and so that everyone has a smaller item as more than a piece of what we have, you know, and,
1:54 am
and then the is this pepsi opportunities that costs, you know, 100 cards of stomach outside, does a lot of oil put you into teasing or there's so much money you can pull good offers these cookies for free today, another local woman has come to show how to make self watering planted out of all plastic boxes to grow vegetables and herbs at home, valuable green skills and hard times. okay. all right. so we could plug it in there that would be healthy. and for this, do i after training more than 2000 students, it's success stories such as these that inspire months, the piece of my company to spread her green message. what is everything? that's right, that's everybody has to corporate or no corporate. lemme turns over to the images pop up to provide to people that have to it. and everyone is including the
1:55 am
president. each new guardian filters and every garden mean listen much more than just help people to meet the needs. at the same time, the regain farming skills boost vital insect on prompted by diversity on air quality in urban areas. while spreading the seats of local empowerment to so when waiting for roll, what a peer for is just the same point they should, they can make thanks for joining us today to check out it. go off or go online to find many movies for each of those stories. it's time to say goodbye. i've chris a lens and illegals nigeria to join us again. next week by the the,
