a lot of potential. we can transform all these plastic in order for us whose enterprise to succeed though he's going to need a lot of plastic. wholesale informal recycling has been a long standing trade in columbia with 40000 trucks on the street to bogota, collecting conventional useful waste with the scrap metal and plastic bottles. so we're in a book bag. all right, now where the recycle is come to bring their plastics and other recyclable products and they weigh them here so that they can then be paid. ready for looking for poll . you know, he's the lead recycler. he's organized all of the, there was like, was in this area over recent years. government support has allowed people like paulina the opportunity to upscale and legitimize the industry. creating recycling centers like this one all over the city. i'm video, the emotional sync one is the last the final gonzales cookies. i asked lizzy glenda plus god is

a gravity does his whole rules as far as he planned. the ongoing challenge for paulina and his team is getting the word out now with the one that would be wonderful. thank you so much. if you are my dear son who now will be gone. did dubose knows about bug mckinney? i reckon you tomorrow the a good way of knowing people and so they was like, oh no, i didn't make it a month with me. same with if given was you? i don't me. i'm being a sloppy middle. that is like,

i was like in the job, she did the thing that a good as you on the almost some of the dallas could almost like on the plastic was awesome. and as a new venture, which is making good use of this waste plastic i had to the company headquarters to meet up with. welcome to a perspective saying here, this is where we take all the plastic from pauline and maybe that information. over the past few years, oscar and his team had been refining this waste to make durable building blocks different types of plastic or 1st ground separately. household, plastic waste, battery packaging and electrical ways such as old computers and t, v.

is going to london. now we've got all the ingredients. now the chef will go to work . dan put it together. he, he's the chair. oh he has, oh sorry, that is a chef they. 7 tell us exactly the proportions because it the speaker wrap the piece, the ground plastic are mixed together. he did and then compressed into brick shaped moulds. tell me about the temperature what, how hot are the plastic? we just get them as you point. depends of the me, it depends on the blood is good green longer, longer at 40 degrees, it is very important that the temperature is kept up melting point was not to burn the plastic and the least toxic gases. let's take this out, let's look at it. it looks like the magnet not as heavy, but in 30 i wonder what that was or that, or that boundary of telephone numbers. we have

a one another i have one number for. so now that we have all of these breaks, what kind of uses do you have for them? emerging would you can made this same being with this kind of went through and where are these going? is briggs are going to gully. you see what we're going to do is recognize globally as the world capital for salsa dancing. the city of cali, 400 kilometers west of all the thought is one of great social, 56 percent of the land area occupied by slums housing, 40000 people a lot . it's the most godaddy a frequency in the job. i'm neighborhood in houston, paling one of the cities most deprived areas. oh yeah. oh phone, yes,

i do. gotta repair them ill from your leaders upstairs to catch up with oscar ellis bricks. wow. oh my goodness. the bricks, me just thought in the factory. there actually constructing into a house for someone who was here in the community. i feel as i thought you were in bogota at the plan, we're building these things now are here and building. it's amazing. tell me a little bit about what stage you're at right now. we are in the kitchen. aha, where many meals will be cooked them? sure. yeah, this is the bathroom. this house cost $5000.00 and has been micro financed by the community. 4 of them yet, whose son lives in the apartment below, where myanmar didn't ya not be resolved or not on my star. and when i spun this unit, a ha, see get the lack of 6 young, because as far feel, boys, today we'll start seeing, oh no, you're so fussy, leap away. no. it's literally like life size lego. oscar's hope is that this project will generate interest in the community and

encourage future collaboration. meet up. if that was going through the in the natasha into the law that he just has so need to get plastic or the cloud that rocha looks like rock to them. a government with me, i'm all up is remaining track your story about, i mean, you know, come up with this. i just can't get over the holes for the electrical outlets and a plumbing wire the cable down in a city. so check it out. it's actually a room now at the kitchen, but he's telling me this is where the closet is gonna be here. no less. i'm with the television on top. if you can imagine that the all we've got left is the roof and some doors. so we're pretty close. how much plastic is in this house?

this house we use is 5 pounds teen compact. thought. is it plastic or where you're headed? wasn't one of the minute continental that would encompass a little bit of the appeal left because a lot of report in just under today's the house is almost complete. the plan is that a family of 4 will be able to put together their own home in less than 5 days. time . look up as our kind is to our room to room is as simple as is, is the working with william as enemy concept as plastic or have already helped to house 42 families displaced by conflict in the town of guar pie recycling $120.00 tons of plastic in the process. tell me a little bit about the magnitude of impact that this project can have if we use just to present the waste blasting the war. we can change life of 1000000 of people . we can finish their house in char question, look in america in just 10 years. that's an enormous number and a huge impact. we have to start,

we have to start by step ah, in what additive sustainable building materials are being developed globally. bamboo is being treated and use for construction in countries including ethiopia, indonesia, and here in the poll with many strains, 10 times stronger than steel and to rapid growth. so i can afford to buy gears bumpy. is one of the most eco friendly building materials on the planet. in the middle east to engineering graduates in gaza have created an environmentally friendly break called green take. this uses coal and wood ash, as a filler, instead of sand making use of waste that would otherwise be buried in the grounds. and, and guatemala, one nonprofit is built to school using natural resources and rubbish that would normally pilot landfills. the stations made the system out o tires capable of holding thousands of gallons of rainbow materials like these and

not so any paving the way for green urban sprawl. that redefining the space is green habit. singapore is a low lying island in city states. 80 percent of its population live in high rise public housing, resulting in one of the highest population densities in the world. challenges from rapid urbanized asian sea level rise and increasingly chaotic climate is forcing plan as an architect and policy makers to respond to critical questions about how cities in the future will cope with growing demand. despite the growing pressure on space, singapore has been dubbed h's cleanest city. so i've come here to meet some of the people who are helping it earn that title. my 1st stop is the park royal hotel, which bowes, 15000 square meters of greenery and was completed in 2013 by award winning architect,

which had hassle the earth now in almost every way as being formed by human activity. though for us as architects, we feel like it's something within our control to the jeff wise. that building projects can also play a much stronger role in june, ship of earth. when you look at like google earth or images from spice, cities are really desert. you know, you see a very bright white shiny area surrounded by dark visitation. if people build buildings like this, you would no longer say that you would say the vegetation layer covering the city as well as singapore, in government, avoided park loyal, it's coveted, platinum, a green mark, the nation's highest environmental city location is part of a white, a scheme to promote environmentally friendly buildings and investment into green city solutions. to understand more about why the city is the greenest in asia. i want to see what's happening at the grass route. heard about a non profit trust and providing environment and supporting accruing to community

come to be the funder like hot. com and i came here trying to get people to go back to basic. and i thought as a result of that we've of a nice asia and globalization and digitalization that we come disconnect. so i was trying to create, using a space to connect back people and to bring by the spirit of the community. and it's very strange for our country. let things fall with us. we are so top down. and that's why my name is called ground up in a shaky ground up initiative. started in 2009 and secured a piece of land to provide environmental education for people of all ages and several workshops and seminars. building a community of environmental, engage citizen, i guess it just for a moment, forgot that we were in the middle of a just knocking down your door. and in fact, we want to build on this land that to and i told the government to give me a chance to prove that. i think singapore needs

a different cannot space 50 percent of the world population now leave in cities and we 70 percent will leave out of 9300000000 or 9.5000000030 years time. what do you think will become where a full coming from? who wants to work on the land? who will clean the rubbish for you? all the same by malaysia in the ground up initiative gardens or meet troy friend and co way volunteers have come along to get their hands dirty. why do you currently doing farming in a way, i get nemo connected with what we are actually doing every day because whether it food we know exactly where they come from, anything up. i realize also people don't appreciate food because on maybe to the kids they have never seen this. how the fruit is growing, maybe they thought is just from the supermarket. places like this is very good because it makes us go back to the basics. what keeps us surviving?

what makes us try and if not really about having money, it's not really about having all the tech stuff, but really been able to, to, i miss then that you, i just be what a part of this legal ecosystem. seeing how things are growing, for example, it makes me start to ask a lot of other questions like how, where things come from. so if i use a paypal, i start to think so way that from and if i troy away, is it going curve? we're committed to reducing are ways to almost 0. we go back to reflect to see if she's good at all. this is the last place that you would expect to see a little permaculture garden going on in somebody's front room. i just started this journey barely a year ago. so a lot of things are to me are experiments. do are here on your new experiment with all this. how do you, are you kind of creating a network? yes, because you can't be the only person who st. paul into it. yeah, i on. when i saw that a group on facebook, it was sometimes frustrating because i seem to be the only person who kick posting,

but now i think it's at least 53000 or 500. and it's quite surprising. i think when we see individual taking just a small actions for me is very encouraging. a technician can we in the journey to 0 waste communities still have a long way to go. last year, singapore is 5500000 population. ditched over 7500000 tons of waste. that's one half tons per person. but momentum is building and similar grassroots projects are sprouting up throughout the city. we met jason earlier at the ground up initiative and she's invited us to come across, turn and have a look her own community. good. how are you? so this is your projects. yes. my neighbors will come and spend time here in the garden. i to lead doing stuff. the ad directors, the i, c o lawyers is there is

a demand. me is that so i never seen soybeans group before. i feel that a lot of the open spaces and sing up bar should not be hot the couch or landscape. it should be foot space. and how can mean, surely me, singapore, maybe a city in a foot godaddy? why does it need to just be a small one? you know, that only serves a few people in the community. why not? the larger community over 80 percent of the food consumed in singapore is imported . so the ministry of national development is investing heavily in boosting food production on the island. i've arranged to meet jack in an engineer turn food producer, who's taking commercial skill urban farming to the next level of care. so i've never seen a farm like this before. i say our 1st in the world 1st in the world, much for someone that's never heard of a vertical form. how would you describe something,

a single boy landscape. so we don't have much our land thought of what it was for vascular singapore and we stay in the history. the fact is, is that the carry full of it, why i wish they were i could contact go for the study candy. our system is using the hydraulics are using water, making these power or dating. so pan can go up together in our sunlight, can now get our new trends and what that. so and the water is a similar though, miguel rotating is a sim, whatever. so give a good a plan and the what the it will be q one, our lease fica use it. so far we not change or what? at all, so far you've not changed it at all. worse. that's quite something given that this farms been operating for 3 years. these rotating shelves affectively increased the land surface area by a factor of 10. meaning this vertical farm can produce 2 tons of vegetables in a single day. meat pie play king of the veggies. it's a beauty, is me or look that we'd as the 1st we'd have seen in the,

in the entire place. this is to attract a pair, is that? yeah. and then they, they're stunned on these buys and then, but there's none in there. i mean me, there is a pass, many vanish work and even a pass up though it catch em. we picked our fish. this is really to where to this is floating. this is called, this is yes, company put the completely phone jack way, the credit flow in re nose in upon. we need pon to get what the far west they were . so i do, if you built more upon as a less easier for our system. so i do, can we build upon a sim? thank we had a plan. so i will consider is a, is the sim area. we have to put action one, harvest of fish for every 6. harvest of vegetables, collect the fish are feeding the vegetables. yes. and the vegetables are in a sense, be res, can feel of mission. yeah. so that, that the trimmings from the vegetables are actually going to feed it. and using is the sim,

size of the land. i have to pull out yet being located within the city. these high density aquatic setups are also saving energy on transportation and storage. so it's little wonder this greens have gone and widespread interests. ro asia, as well as with the singapore in government, continue to support the development of the technology of come back to the whoo, her office is to learn more about their living buildings. what lies ahead for ages? greenest city. this project, for instance, when it's fully growing, we'll have a live and time for fight area as green area. to why go to all this extra effort to, to swallow you buildings in plants, a huge one in the hot climate like singapore is that plants are the only thing that when the sunlight falls on it, they don't heat up. they actually take that energy and use it for the chemical processes of building carbohydrates and things. so the calculation for singapore, for instance, is that before the city was built,

singapore was 5 degrees cooler. and all that heat ends up being converted into fossil fuel use as people use air conditioners to cool the space and throw even more heat out into the city. if substantial plant covered even reduce singapore by 2 or 3 degrees celsius, the energy saving for the entire country would be, you know, in the billions of dollars over the years. a lot of the arguments have their all so much of the city is built, you know, it doesn't matter. one or 2 buildings, what difference can they might? but if one building can compensate for 10 other sites, not having any grain, you can see that just by doing selective injection of these kind of buildings for the city, you can already create a statistically significant amount of green in the city. can you see potentially in the future where you could actually see some of this area providing a food supplement because we know that singapore is still relying on food input.

yeah, we've sort of done generation one which is providing a lot of planting and achieving these plot right shows, i think generation to is. so i can now we have this, what can we do with it? and that's where i think there's anything you do on land, on the ground, you can start thinking, does it make sense to do that apply on a building so, you know, food. oh, we're also very interested in ecosystems. you know, can, we might not just decorative, but can we make it very biologically productive. we can like in a lifetime, how many buildings can we build? this is something that needs lots of people doing it and it needs rethinking at the urban planning level. and that whole city visioning so we've come up to the sky vill dawson, which is one of rich, it's public housing projects. and it does feel great. i mean the, the planting design in this shady canopy of solar panels. he was lovely. but i mean, looking out at the view is pretty terrifying. it's not just the density,

but it's the number of housing and, and building development projects in is this kind of a model of oil tankers and shipping containers that stretches to the horizon in almost every direction. but when you start to look at the horizon through riches eyes and you see the potential for a rooftop, a coupon, except vertical forest, you know, you start to have hope. but for us to make that future a reality, then it means getting the grass roots in gaze. it means the choice. and can we in all those guys get things going from the ground up. and it means they're meeting the plan as in the policymakers half way. if we're going to see. so is there truly sustainable as a metropolis is continue to expand, we're being pushed to explore more radical solutions to the environmental costs to see living. in ty, one a french architecture firm is constructing a garden tower which will absorb

a $130.00 tons of carbon dioxide each year. while local government in washington d. c is utilizing the high foothold in the city center to generate energy kinetically for lighting, using a technology called paycheck. and to south korea. some dough has been up the smarter city on the planets. developing a built the wealth largest pneumatic waste collection system. city wide recycling is protected to reach 76 percent by 2020 innovations of an if there was supporting funding to adopt them widely as a chance to wells mitchell passes could become sustainable. and with so many of us living in cities, the environmental impact could be huge. vicious, indebted to create drought, proved amazing to think that the plan be so i hear that now looks compete the line i'm international efforts to combat the pests that threaten them. so they bring in their hands, they show you the and that's just like

a doctor. write your prescription, you're doing the same thing here. you're writing a prescription for the pharma wise explorer inspiring advances farming for the future. i'll just bear with me. here's your weather update for the middle east and africa. thank you so much for joining in. so a lot of the heat that we had through the levant is migrating further towards the east. we now see it through iraq dropping down into a q a. it where we've got temperatures in the mid to upper forty's, which is high for this sub the year, but plenty of hot sunshine to go around. want to give you an update on the rains in pakistan really around k p, k, northern parts of punjab province into as law the capital itself. we will get into some pretty intense bursts of rain. got a bit of sand and dust moving through asked about at 38 degrees. temperatures have fallen off in bach who you're now below 30 off to turkey and it's

a white pitcher. round is stumble, showers in the forecasts here, but look at those winds picking up through the boss 1st, the aegean and the eastern med. so that's flushing out some of that heat across all of that. and for is symbol. i think wind gusts here about 50 kilometers per hour on monday and there's that heat starting to dissipate. so a mom we've got in at $33.00 degrees. central africa. let me focus on nigeria, seen that rain pep up toward the northeast. so an demo was state as we go toward the south, the wind still a factor for the western cape province, wind gusts here on monday, 85 kilometers per our see you later. ah, [000:00:00;00] ah,
