algae crackers with an algae homo step go green is the slogan of a movement championing lots of chlorophyll in food the pigment is said to vitalize the body. for example in this soft drink. you got from the books over fifty percent of this very tiny micro algae is made up of protein and that becomes especially interesting when we think about how we're going to supply eight to ten billion people with protein in the future meat. this farm in the state of saxony unhealed in eastern germany grows the trendy freshwater algae the water filled system of glass tubes is five hundred kilometers long. this is a stimulus big systems can be setup where conventional farming isn't possible here we can have agriculture even with no fertile soil considering how fast the algae grows it shows enormous potential especially since it contains all the nutrients we

11:44 pm
to think about the dismissal of. this industrial park on the edge of town is one of the sculptures are made. today first designed in a three d. computer model then i in bars of welded to make the frames the fruit is attached at the last possible moment if it's not fresh it will form off. most of those from the rubber band goes underneath here and then it's pulled tight with. the fruit will be held by it will go to take a team of seven or eight people two days to decorate a single float. we use thirty kilos of fruit per square meter on every single float . omit getting shot. this year one hundred sixty five tonnes of citrus fruit went into the decorations. lemons have been cultivated in montana
11:45 pm
to seven hundred years and have helped bring prosperity to the region one hundred years ago long time was europe's largest lemon producer unfortunately that's changed so that's from a modern slitty a who has won numerous prizes for the quality of the sixers fruit. lemons from all tall are less acidic and they stay fresh for a long time our soil is the reason they grow so well we have very sandy soil here there's a broom to. serve my ancestors earned a living from lemons just as i do today if you do it properly this fruit is a gold mine. three nights the various gardens in montauk are illuminating. the fantasy world of yellow and orange lights up the night. it's one of the festivals highlights.
11:46 pm
i'm very impressed this is wonderful really lovely to see how much work went into this it's really impressive because of course your role in this is incredible work amazing it's all. filled with light sound and fragrance the annual lemon festival in montana is one of a kind. by the way once the festival is over the fruit which is still good enough is sold not thrown away what do you think about artworks made from food join us in the discussion on facebook would love to hear from you and now from lemons still going on us even a swiss back manufacturer found a new and sustainable way to use the banana plant to create chic accessories and it's already bear fruit. bags made from bananas.
11:47 pm
actually from banana tex a fabric produced using fibers of the banana plant. the fibers are derived from the fruit itself from the stocks banana texas was developed by the question back brand . they have already been awarded a design prize for their work by a swiss magazine. the question is based here in zurich switzerland in recent years its founders who include christian cagy. and hunnish have experimented with a variety of sustainable materials. on phones. we started off with cotton and spent a couple of years developing an organic cotton fabric. at the same time we experimented with linen hemp and bamboo and in the process we stumbled upon banana fiber so for right away we were impressed by its potential.
11:48 pm
also known as manilla hemp is native to the philippines and has been used to make items such as wrote and fishing nets since the nineteenth century the plant grows wild in the jungle not on plantations it doesn't require any irrigation fertilizer or pesticides the fibers are dried nearby and there are later turned into paper. when you twine the banana fibers right away and turn them into yon and then we've them it produces a really irregular com but through this intermediary step this paper we can even it out. at a specialist weaving mill in taiwan the paper is turned into fabric the paper is cut into thin strips that are twined into yarn and then. the resulting fabric makes its way to neighboring china where the bags are manufactured in working conditions which meet e.u. standards. the bags design also plays
11:49 pm
a decisive role the details are well thought out the style is casual and functional . the collection is being sold in some two hundred stores worldwide a bag made from banana fiber costs around two hundred twenty euros the model range is limited at present but more designs are in the works. during the course of its developments we also discovered that lots of companies were interested in trying it out and. we were a bit surprised by the demand and by the fact that need for sustainable materials is so great across many industries. and so your feeling is to say of course he's the swiss label creates urban bags for environmentally conscious trendsetters and if their bags ever go out of style they can just compost them.
