transcending class creed and color. but in britain, a disproportionately high percentage of the fallen have been black or brown skins. the big picture traces the economic disparities and institutional racism that is seen united kingdom fail, it citizens britain's true colors, part one on al jazeera. ah . the explosion of plastic waste across the world threatens the very survival of light on our planet. every year, up to $12000000.00 metric tons of plastic into the ocean. from poisoning marine

life to lecturing landscapes and cloaking waterways, plastic waste and the environment is set to trickle in the next decade. the problem is so vast, it can seem overwhelming. but by re imagining this waste, as a result, we can begin to redress the balance. i'm donnie cannula in cameroon, where a young entrepreneurs turning the tide on plastic waste by building bolts to bottle . and megan the cub in the u. k. well, one company is happening a re key plastic problem boss making unique, unsustainable products in the process. ah, here in camera ruins, economic capital to wireless. the scale of the country's plastic problem is painfully clear. plastic waste clogging up the street and rivers of cameron's major cities polluting waterways threatening marine ecosystems and making life especially

difficult a local fisherman. mm. it's estimated that across the city of to wanna $1300.00 tons of plastic waste is generated every day. so much of it is thrown into the cities rivers. you can't see any trace of water. ah, i've never seen anything like this before. i don't even know how you begin to fix the problem. this big is no doubt. this is a major challenge for the city, but one local man has made it his mission to deal with it had on his name is, is smile is so many it's while i have to meet, you know, the resume that, i mean it's quite a place to meet, i must say. so is this normal here in dweller? oh, you know so sad. what is that? you have ordered black, that's our troy way by b boy in this we in the household. and then you have the river,

the water that call it all the ways that club these bridge. and then you have people solving with your car and told the are part of the river. and you can see that plaza back before a mac edukit on how to money dealt with. so unfortunately is norma. it's overwhelming to see this that you don't find it overwhelming. why do you see this? and think that this is something you want to take on for yourself. i realize that all the river are full of plastic. no one k. no one's there. what is this an hour shoak to see that? so i decided to do something. and what i've been that i could to point is shown in people myself by showing the way through them. ishmael began in initiative to care up the waste from all of to well as 10 choked rivers. he calls his company dba and nature, meaning water in nature, in the local,

sour language. he recruits a team of 30 volunteers and today i'm giving them a helping hand. but it quickly becomes clear to me what a tough job this is. where standing on this board because much of this looks like a bed of plastic. there's actually a river underneath it, so it's not very stable. it's very hot and very humid here. so when you have this amount of waste in water, of course it's cold and ephito than other kinds of water born diseases. and there are people who live all around here. so this is not just an environmental crisis. it's possible health crisis as well, kind of serious with the work you're doing here is amazing, but there are so many bottles and it feels like this is just a dent. and it's really only individuals like you who are taking it on there is no city wide plan or nationwide plan to tackle this enormous problem. no, no,

our group is burned here in town. are willing to sions her. are the problem for the priori? do so people are we're no one's care about enrollment here. this is the most urgent problem. so we need to turn in many ways. ishmael doesn't just see all the plastic as waste. he sees it as a valuable material and an opportunity to do good. he turns bottles into both for the regions, fishing community and it all happens here inside his workshop. ah, bottle yard refer. this is our workshop is see in my house here. so i'm here with some of the 2, and we tried to finish of all each mouse boats built using traditional techniques. who taught you how to do? i know i'm for move fishing community and my daughter fisherman. oh wow. so when i

was young, i was fishing with my dad, this technology i just adapted to the black board or so is that why this idea came to you? yes, because the portion of the river and now you cannot catch fish because the efficient area is full of glasses. so i've got 2 hub, not only the cleaning do rivers, but also to provide support. because it is not easy in the villages for someone to buy symbol boy. so now it buell schepers. echo both that could be useful. so we have part of our seats done what's next to you on breakfast? yeah, i'd love to try to do that. so we tie this yeah. nazi not so bad at ya. it is a little scary to think that what we're putting together someone's actually going to be sitting on you're out in the water, so i feel

a little bit of responsibility to not mess this up. i proud of my handy work here. oh you, this isn't so bad it once he's built the frame. ishmael ties to the base and then he adds in the scene. ishmael has built 37 boats to date, given that it takes 650 bottles to build one that's over 24000 bottles, removed from 2 wireless rivers and put to good use. so how much does that cost to make a boat like this? with material? remembering simple, he doesn't have borrows the rest is yet that ah, the booth take just a few hours to build and they're so lightweight, easily transported to the ocean. it's a 3 hour drive to nearby. creepy weight ish mount gets the boats to local fishing.

traditionally made fishing boats can be extremely expensive, but even so, when is my 1st started giving away his e commerce, it was easier said than done fees look very different to all of the local fishing both that we see what was the reaction from the local community when you brought these here, the 1st time for that body wasn't do show, it will never go in the water enough that when we went to the water before you have it is walking. and then this does look to try to understand and try to see if you go fishing with these one. the real truth of course, is in the floating. they've got tested out as good as it. ok. you lead the way with it was a funny entry,

but this feel so much better feel stable. i don't feel safe in any way. i feel really comfortable fishing and want to be what a great idea. and there's so many possibilities of what he can do in the future that can at the same time be enormous issue, a plastic waste in cameroon. what an incredible young man that, that was really fun. now we know the boat to see whether we're delivering it to the latest happy customer was going to test it out on a nearby lake. i was ill. this is gonna be for sure. good to meet you. what do you think of your new boat in the cabin and

how do you think having this new boat is gonna change things for you? or what bro? mosque north, him you said the airport. what. what if it is yet, but she would fill up us with alopecia, who argument grandpa corpus associates. so maybe their accessibility and affordability of eco, both will be something that convinces people to give them a try. where did you mom, please? if they ship them off, sellable, some likely will put the shipping on, but it won't do that will. who will? who falsely believes, who when me, when you renew, it'll renew all orders under for me. do you want to try it out? you know, let's see how it works with her. how do you feel about camille reaction to his very own he

commodes a hobby to see that i can make the ones my so one get hope that maybe is going to show would be better. maybe people have more come to his family since he started in 2016, the growing success of his ico both has inspired ishmael to do more, it's his ambition to clear up cameroon. and that begins with the country's 1st battle recycling scheme. wow. this is the echo bean i cover in his mid out of $255.00 blackboard. and it was good 1000. so this the place where people can come and bring their plastic ways, this is their starving wine of. so i to g usually as dollars thought in system of logic waves in grammar. so the idea of this echo been what you're trying to do here . where do you think it can grow to? we wonder why it should be la. gov example. in that regard,

we in just apply rick will be in areas of draw out all the corners in font of all the show is supermarket this cool. so it will be easy to carmen. pick up that way. we say avoid it. so that is the vision where we wanted were there, but how the which there is not is despite the challenges. ishmael has even bigger plans for the future by producing battle made furniture and by educating the next generation. figure, if you've ever been rubric on club, what is your boss that goes with it to junk on who got to be level? who should you go there to do is to take care of environment sticky of our planet ender to clean our cities. it's an inspiration to me that even in this global see of plastic one person really can make a difference. a

for environmental campaign is the global issue of plastic waste is now so serious, it has risen to the top of the agenda. they believe we must rethink our whole approach to the material. the scale of the plastic problem is huge. minutes over 300000000 tons a year. plastic packaging itself is 78000000 tons year. 32 percent of that leaks out and environment. some of the biggest producers of caustic packaging in the world produce $3000000.00 tons a year. so is that one producer changes the way they make plastic. that is a massive change globally. even the biggest produce of plastic packaging in the world can't fix this on their own. this is about every one competitors alike. organizing around a system that can be regenerated from restorative. if you look at our current economy, it's predominantly linear. we take a material out the ground, we make something out of it, and then the majority of that material gets thrown away. we have

a growing world population, we have more and more pressure on resources. the system we have to day cannot run in the long term. we need to shift that economy to be one that uses materials rather than using them up with an a circular economy, right? from the beginning, you build the economy, so you design out waste and pollution, you keep product cycling within that economy for as low as possible. and then you look at regenerating natural systems through the biological materials that feed into that economy. so effectively, the straight line turns into a circle to build out circular economy for plastic, you need to go right to the beginning of the system. we need to redesign the way we think about plastics. the way we design plastics and the way we use plastics. so we need to eliminate the plastic that we don't need. we need to innovate for different forms of plastic, which are 100 percent recyclable. and we need to look at how we circulate plastics, designing a system whereby that material is collected has value, and feeds back into the system. the thing that motivates me the most about the future is there is a massive opportunity to redesign our global economy. if we redesign the economy,

so it's circular, not only will we build an economy that can run in the long term, but it will unlock trillions of us dollars recommend opportunity. and it will effectively decouple economic growth from adults. constraints are mm hm. pollution is the hot topic in the world, environmental damage that it causes is long lasting and wide ranging. but was there is a growing consciousness of the problems that passed it caused and you might even be doing things yourself to solve it. there is one problem that is be hiding in plain sight. every year we chew away 2 or 374 trillion pieces of gun. what you might not know is that chewing gum is essentially like chewing this piece of plastic, but was chewing gums and bubble gum to order my from oil. in fact, gum is

a very similar material to latex bicycle in a cheap. and every year we chuck away $100000.00 tons that globally watch over straight on to the floor. gum is 2nd only to cigarettes as the world's most lifted items across the globe. we spent $25000000000.00 on gum every year. and demand is predicted to rise to $48000000000.00 in 2025. it is estimated that 92 percent of pavement in london have chewing gum stock on them. with $300000.00 pieces estimated to be on oxford street alone. it's up to a small army of workers to clear it up. i'm 70 miles southwest of london in winchester to find out what damage gum can do. ha

o councilor, john war is in charge of keeping the city streets cleaned. how much of a problem is gum in winchester? they estimate the every year councils in britain spending more than $60000000.00 pounds a year. just clearing up gum. that's insane. it's taken me back a little bit. actually, that's a huge figure. and, and what could use that could be put to, rather than just being spent collecting waste offer. mm hm. of course is really only one way to get a tree flavor of the gum problem on our streets. i count so operations manager darren lewis is of shameed the rice a bit further back. yeah. i'm going to put wrangler. right. i see. i that way. yeah . movie look more like. yeah, yeah. it's very much like a move. uh huh. is it coming out with be quite a satisfying job?

it's bill this hutch top must have respect for the guys doing that. so with the privacy with once gum is removed, it usually ends up in landfill. as a plastic gum isn't biodegradable and will never decompose. but i've heard about an ingenious new initiative is not only keeping the sticky stuff off the pavements, but turning it into something useful coffee cups. i think the most impressive thing about them, they're actually made out the recycle, chewing down river. i knew you could recycle that one bacteria. it's quite impressive, isn't it? yeah. and the series favor? oh wow. okay. so when they 1st came out then what were your call? i thought it was a bit of a joke, to be honest. i just couldn't believe that this could be made out of people's material. just makes a big oh, but so on june, it's disgusting. but then when you re life i've been for obese inquiries estimates

completely sanitary is just really inspiring. what can be done with chewing gum? the cuts are made from a gum based material. could gum tech. here at winchester university. the raw materials for the cars are collected all the campus and distinctive bright pink bends. they're called gum drops. an inspiring idea from designer and abilene high. he must be honest. hi, nice me. i nice me too. so these must be your bends. tell me a bit about this of the gum drop bins. and that they all been specifically for the despite of waste chain come me i dear is, is that somebody can come along pop there, use chewing gum in there. once it's full, the whole thing comes back to us and we recycle it. and we can actually recycle 3 new gum drops out of one full gum troy based on the closed loop recycling process. okay, so why gum all the solutions out there at the moment?

all address gum later, once it's already been dropped, there was nothing out there that was that she addressing it from the front end. so i saw a gap in the market for a product like this and also a way of tackling behavioral change when it comes to gum knitter and giving people as a positive way to dispose of their change. so how does gum end up in a coffee cup? in anna has offered to show me the price is in action at the gum drug factory in worcester. so once we get the full gum drop bins back, that goes through the 1st part of the process, which actually size reduces it. okay? you can actually see the gum dropped. van has been crushed up. yeah. in the all the other letters that are in there long will you learn chewed, chewing gum, chewing gum, without a cupcake wrapper. hague, orange bill then goes through the 2nd stage which separates the gum drop in the tooth gum and the other ways. we then take this next. yeah,

we then mix it with other recycled materials, which yet he said and compounded juice. these palate, which go on to actually make it better than you come drop it. only cycle stuff again. the gum tech material can be moulded into a whole range of products, not just cups, but stationary key rings, boots and shoes. clown a call. this is some of our products that we have at the moment. okay. oh, introduce you to the, the gum shoe 1st. this is actually really fun project we had, it was done in collaboration with the council. announced that we wanted to highlight the amount of gum letter of such on the streets in amsterdam sale. see, the sole here is actually a map of the stream that we looked at and i am the gum drug story continues to great. there are now some 650 come drop locations across the u.

k, from train stations and city centers. to echo, i'm schools. i'm with new interest in europe and the usa. anna has global ambitions for the company, and it's ethos working more publicly, there's definitely something that we want to do because that will say board and the, the awareness and the message around behavior change. and what we can actually do with, with the recycle, change them. we're at the university of winchester where they come, dropped, charles began, they employed a scheme designed to do more than just keep gum off our streets. as well as installing the gum drops. they also gave away the 10000 reusable gum based cups. the scheme inspired a paradigm shift in attitude to waste and letter environment officer lis harris was behind introducing gum drug to the campus. how much of an effect have these cops

had all the sale of plastic and general kind of coffee cookies? today we have saved 85000 disposable cups and being used. there are now 10000 a b cups in circulation. and we have just committed to eliminating single use plastics by 2022. so the cops are really good stuff in the right direction. i think it has really capture people's imaginations because what was quite nice that we could link it to the chewing gum reflect playing when by having your coffee or helping to close to the these gum drug bins have started a chewing gum recycling craze, but it's much more than that, it's about changing people's behavior. and people like anna are inspiring people to think about the way that use single use products are, which is so critical if we're going to be able to reverse any of the current worrying environmental trends, boom. entrepreneurs

across the globe. a turning their attention to the plastic menace. in september, 201824 year old dutch inventor boy and slat, launched an ambitious operation to use a giant boom on the ocean's natural currents to clean up the pacific giant island of plastic waste, known as the great pacific garbage patched. 2 months later, a crack in the system forced the prototype back to port, but the team was still able to collect terabytes of data. and over 2 tons of ocean plastic waste, they report they'll soon be ready to relaunch. but what can we do with all the waste plastic we collect? in the u. k, one inventor has found a clever way to plug hot holes with a new road material mate and pot from waste plastic. and in the philippines, a 15 year old school boy undertook to tackle the country's plastic bag problem.

with a bi degradable variety made from coconuts with clever ideas like these, we may just be able to stand the plastic type. after years of over grazing the damages caused to the precious gross lance of chilling is being reversed with one of the world's biggest ever conservation projects. they're pretty emblematic out of the pedagogy and if they're plentiful and they're calm like this one is, then you know that the system is coming back and that they feel no threat. and that's why you're high for re wilding patagonia on al jazeera with

our goal at al jazeera has always been to expand our reach and improve on what we have to offer. to do that, we've kept pace with how people get their news news strengthen by reporting. that's hard hitting for the arab world, rose up, you followed a trusted source and we grew with over the years, al jazeera digital has been recognized for getting it right. because online innovation has always been key and that includes new ways of reaching even more people. as we grew, we brought you new shows and more content. and when times got tough, turn to us again. so to keep that trust, we've added even more correspondence. ah, 25 years of al jazeera,
