as long as the barbershop stays on the power grid is likely to keep experiencing blackouts even when the lights go out altogether the flickering bulbs show that the country's electricity network is struggling to keep up with the demand. now nearly every day there is news about all this for signs that are going extinct do directly or indirectly to human behavior but surely one of the cruelest and unnecessary activities is a neo wildlife trade in extra poor texas a camera to a conservation education center dedicated to helping vulnerable and endangered species i knew a rival texan he surroundings at the libby wildlife center in come you know this african gray parrot was brought in by a local you'd practice the sumptuary encourages newcomers a fast place inquire and. then can

what a great project and it is winding partners around the what another great range it is to come up with alternatives to conventional plastics on single use products because they are west of resources and of course an environmental problem let us make to it some one product design is what developing it offering the packaging. packaging that decomposes after it's used. it disappears without causing any damage to the environment. researchers and designers around the world are trying to realize this vision. among them a product designers katia instance ava's. the trigger for that work is the amount

of trash that they themselves produce. 2 years ago there's a view started producing can possible film impacts make from cellulose from which waste which decompose when they come into contact with bacteria in the soil in france italy and switzerland you can put them in the organic waste bin. in the action in germany this isn't possible at the moment we're working to provide evidence that our film decomposes brilliantly in industrial composting facilities and together with waste management companies we also striving to find a solution to the problem of how these materials community in sorting plants so that they can be turned into compost in germany to. another challenge is coming up with packaging that seals in a roma. you just mustard every foodstuff comes with its own challenges in nuts or fatty cheeses bioactive coffee is a roma sensitive so. every product has its own characteristics and they have to be

tested i can't make any assumptions that's the challenge if you have to try everything out and that takes time and it takes money because it's right course material. but the savings have already won over many customers for the single last cellulose phone for example vegetable supply is like sun mom. monica's son months which to box made of composite a bill from 6 months ago as the german waste disposal system doesn't cater for them some mom has come up with an interim solution. that customers can definitely return these bags to us and we'll compost them not all of our customers have compost heaps or a composting bin but they can bring them back to us from post on it just have to sit with. the vegetable delivery from would also like to avoid using conventional plastic for their potted halves but because the thin film used for the leafy greens would come into contact with soil in the pots it would start decomposing too
8:45 pm
quickly causing it to rip too easily. xavier's have developed a new film for the application it takes twice as long to come past. avoiding packaging altogether is unrealistic in today's global food industry but there are more immoral turn of tips to conventional petroleum based plastic film and bags. we know head to the salt where local people with the support of the authorities have planted almost 2000000 trees over the past 25 is honest a breezy planting more it is an amazing long time reforestation projects which revived the national park and also helped people in the area to made better life they take responsibility for making a difference a great example to all meant coupled with environmental protection. oh.
