flushing the, sometimes it's hard to find what you're looking for. but we've got something for you. the climate change con, jeopardize anti economic sectors and take away people's livelihoods. but in many cases, sub solutions can help us to adapt ad opportunities to make life better for roles. welcome to a new edition of pico africa. i'm present lens, an idea once again. we've got the pack show for you today. let's dive straight to coming up. empowering go out of so lombard backpack is changing, lives,
5:31 pm
erode uganda, food, glorious food, safety, 12 us 3 steam, pollution crises, we haven't got it installed and we'll meet the woman by e mail, re eco friendly trust collection. ever psyche in kenya via a smartphone. now. can you imagine catching fish with palm leaves? it's part of an issue. and fishing that's old used of tanisha is kick in the islands cold shop. the odds, especially in the environment to me friendly, co joined. the also see how echo offered 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 coach sophia and involves
5:32 pm
coaching fish with the help of palm fronds. i'm sure the i've always worked at sea when i was a kid. i went fishing with my dad, the unavailable, and when i finished my studies and returned home, i automatically went back to fishing them. each fee is arranged as a triangular battery at the palm fronds can be seen in 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 present a 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 doctors you need people as friend

a mean guinea does is also on board, he's not a fisherman, but an artist, and is fascinated by this ancient fishing technique. traditionally, it involves the use of date, palm branches. for guinea 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, a living that he has 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 impass of the official fear. in 2020 unesco, declare that part of humanities, intangible cultural heritage. it's also linked to angel traditions and cultural practices. walk up and i was using this method as a basis for my project without really knowing how it works. if you,
5:34 pm
once i learned more, i fell in love with the c panel, but times have changed some now use 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 as 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. denise shaw fia will continue just on the test of time us 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?
5:35 pm
and high quality fish is an important source of income for the occupant of 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 had a shop to ya. just determine if the via of the company 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 money that many unable or unwilling to invest and sewage fee of 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. well, also making
5:36 pm
a profit without heads to kenya to meet one very resourceful woman with a vision to promote a secular economy of social enterprise, collect waste, recycle plastic, and these torak safety of them bustler. and it's all done with a mix of old and new technology. a, an ad for trash entrepreneur table 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 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,
5:37 pm
teva her team a started her own business because the city wasn't providing adequate sanitation 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. the 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. i'm in in old town in calibration with
5:38 pm
more or less a county department of environment and funded waste management. we've been able to collect waste from about 6000 household, one of the house he has later today seeing how successful this project has been filled me with so much joy and pride best and made of plastic a chase. these little packets might be handy, but they quickly found in the garbage bin and they don't roles. you know, web special, we chopped the journey of such a such shake 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 that's so lucrative, so businesses and so disastrous up trying to find out more d w dot com slash plastic. that's one impressive woman. and we have both to meet and now the basic equal hero comes from uganda for more than
5:39 pm
a decade. our non profit organization has been empowering girls to take control of their lives and become to make us. she has developed a small bag with multiple functions to make it easier for girls to go to school each day. us to do the studies when the sun goes down. oh, the young woman eagerly await it, but it's no visit by naples or relatives, shown cousins, the indian. i'm would you have an order with a customer in the to soon the technicians installed a sort of module here a little while ago. now the light bulbs of flickering probably due to the intimate bill of electricity. we have to find out where the problem lies. the job gives them new prospects of good some money from the,
5:40 pm
from the system like to is. so then they what says enabled us, that we have really the image 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. but in a different way. the 15 year old school go onto the backpack with an integrated community, solar panels. it can charge a lamp. this helps the study at night. in turn, the lumpkin load for the cell phone. this bad, so please read my books tonight. you don't have a list. yeah. to me as you see it so. so have me to share in may baffle nice. i'm going to pass my exams. the 3 young woman we've introduced can think jamila,
5:41 pm
my and jessica social into a premier from the yukon and capital compiler, for the experiences with solar energy. my on jetta self gets involved when a employees look for plastic bags on the side of the road. as the solar backpacks a made of recycle plastic carpet is a big problem in compiler. so we try and make a difference in using these recycling these plastic words. i'm showing the community we are coming from very easy to recycle with then that then we'd be in the system after the plastic bags happened clean, there turned into solar backpacks with cute water proof material on the outside. about 20 women i employed for jamila, my and jess condition. 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 donita. the backpacks allow the young
5:42 pm
woman to be able to display sleep rings come in and hide in supplies to school. many teenage girls would otherwise stay home during the period, causing them to suffer academically. the disease you must a should be on the bus. that part of 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,
5:43 pm
according to a teacher, will also cause scientific and environmental subjects. she's pleased that the soul of backpack is a convincing practical example of plastic recycling new bugs. so from it was much it is so it does make noise on some because impractical areas. but what use a good grades the folder is to look for to unemployment as so often the case for young women in uganda. but there is another way, goes was tools offers a solution, a program set up by social inter, for nurturing and lemme younger young women, can you see vocational training certificates for supposedly typical meal? okay, patients sure
5:44 pm
loan can use or his parents will receive solar module training here. now the 22 year old, so the technician started up her own business and she has no solve the problem with a flickering lights, all of the cleaning up the solar module enough and tricity is now flowing through it. then after a minor difficulty, the nitrous lively stays on solar. paul is one renewable and it just, sol, so that's part of clean a. bring the 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 less 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. that is
5:45 pm
a way to turn the ocean and then on limits at post. all you need to something 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 show. 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 here 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 the lake or dives in an ocean experience, is that the kona, the water gets at 1000 meters deep. the temperature reaches roughly 4 degrees 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 has a lower boating point. usually that's ammonium. that fluid evaporates aging is
5:46 pm
theme and that steam runs a turbine, generating electricity similar to 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 wind or soda. and when you have a great to a temperature difference with water surface water like this one here for process 10, run even quicker and create more energy the while that is so quick. the groundwork for this technology was late in 1881 by french businesses shock. i've seen thoughts on pop is student jobs,
5:47 pm
clothes that actually build the 1st book, unsuccessful low tech land in cuba. in 1930 lights, a interesting note tech peak 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 is. the major limiting factor is that we need a big temperature difference between the surface and the deep sea water. the warm 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 that mission is to address a real problem in getting people to a on a generate. please basically how well this is dan greg. his company is looking to
5:48 pm
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 because we're pulling this really close to the different thing. well, 5, please decrease your self weight top. oh, we also use high please create low credit ratings and many of the the islands navy equates have rely on diesel. generates of power. tech would change that oldest studies estimate that if you disregards practical and financial huddled outset could pile the entire wells. hypothetically. today, estimates for a $100.00 megawatts. i would take pod 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. i pretty standard before
5:49 pm
a 100 megawatt pod you eat pipes almost 4 times that size and pipes that big haven't been developed yet. it has proven so tricky that a floating tech near the indian state of time, you're not who 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 fast part of plants in 1930 to this on such as he 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 drop 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
5:50 pm
a lot of question marks about attacked the economics, the environmental side effects, the cold water pipe, and today's plants, 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 around 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 adventure happening project into on this vague, it shows that it was sold to produce held the food at home. i'm able, internally thing to upgrade the tennessee benefits the community, nestled up to the highways offices of downtown johannes. but lies lawrenceville, but it's no high income neighborhood. in south africa,
5:51 pm
food prices used by 14 percent this year, and residents here, a barely scraping by every day. it's hard. sometimes they don't. and as you can see, the green people i see last time i usually buy the books. big 5 run. last week i go to the, i see the books, it was 75, run the pep on the waiting up to 14 shoulder go up to show a little up. so hes managing nowadays. if to cut one way out of the predicament, it could be urban agriculture. the victoria yards present in lawrenceville is just one example of what could be possible in john is that this revamped industrial sites. must the piece of mocha bonnie wants to move to beach urban dwellers to grow and process their own food. just beautiful, this is mean. it's very good. you can even put it on tv. and so you want 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,
5:52 pm
a place dedicated to inspiring people to get their hands dirty in the soil. and we can live in from it. the good economy is 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 food 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 house of staples like vinegar, sugar also. but the green business college also goes beyond planting cooking on preserves. and we cut part of this training with the business q of 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
5:53 pm
a composed class that's towards me that you can also have make a garden on the head stuffiness. 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 something for that. south africa can produce enough to feed its population for the 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, is 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 really 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 so that everyone everyone has
5:54 pm
a smaller item as more than a piece of what we have, you know, and, and then the is this pepsi opportunities that costs, you know, 100 cards of stomach outside does a lot of oil put units. you know, there's so much money here. we pull good offers these cookies for free. so many today, another local roman has come to show how to make self watering planted. also for plastic boxes to grow vegetables and herbs at home, valuable green skills and hard times. okay. all right. so with this group luck, my scotch, maybe i say that's an id and 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, think what is everything that's right, that's everybody has to corporate or no corporate. lemme turns over to the images
5:55 pm
pop up to him to provide to people that have to it. and everyone is including the president. each new guardian filters and every garden mean listen much more than just help people to meet the needs. at the same time that we gain from in skills boost vital insect implanted by diversity on equality in urban areas. while spreading the seats of local empowerment to so a win win for role with a pin for is just a simple and they should they can make thanks for joining us today. do check out it . go off or go online to find many movies for each of those stories. it's time to say good bye. i have chris a lens, illegal slide area to join us again next week by the
