8:43 pm
a lot of changes in the way we conduct our life but it is also giving us a spectator on how so many the. even the simple things new ideas are much ink that can really benefit people and the environment in these trying times. that's right sandra in south africa a young man came up with a great new business venture it's eco friendly and has been well received by his own label. young men in blue overalls cruising through the streets of longer in recent weeks the residents of the cape town suburb have gotten used to this site. this is the man behind the bicycle armada. and the founder of. cloudy deliveries is the name of color because he's nearly found it business it in every service on bikes the 1st one in the township. he starts every day with
8:44 pm
a team meeting. with the group discuss his goals and customer service practices. the idea for the business stems from his own experience. and something from. me and. so i think. having someone in. the delivery fleet is heading out. on him cause he doesn't have time to do deliveries anymore there's too much admin work to get done. since the 22 year old started cloudy deliveries in january 2020 it has grown steadily and the coronavirus pandemic boosted the business even more today the team has around 20 delivery rides we follow one of them on his shift. this busy customer has asked 19 year old who took his easy causa to buy groceries
8:45 pm
and a cell phone cover for her. i'm working from home so it's very convenient for me because i don't have time to actually go to the store and i have to. make it as long. took is easy cause a is heading to the sea the market the custom is paying 9 rand to pay a delivery roughly the equivalent of $50.00 u.s. sends the delivery rider gets 3 rand delivering the remaining 6 rand goes to the company. youth unemployment in south africa is extremely high and the pandemic has only made things worse until police because i just finished school he wants to continue his studies one day but for now he's happy working as a delivery driver. much of the birthday i do it will. help him people around. me has changed. back at the headquarters the calls us still coming and every cyclist does $45.00 deliveries per day with many people forced to
8:46 pm
stay at home during the lockdown cloudy deliveries is filling a huge gap in the township and the township residents like the unusual news service . they do get from a customer. base to see the film and to. call him cause he's next goal is to expand his fleet and to open his own online shop to benefit the environment he plans to use only paper packaging to set an example that he hopes other companies will follow. our way of doing things is reaching its limits and that's something we often hear in our days when it comes to the stewardship of natural resources it is certainly the case other radical rethink is needed we have to protect its forest rivers.
8:47 pm
and plant and that will require coming up with ways of making on using things without creating which. here are some impressive examples. of minutia astrid boots in spends much of her free time thinking about wild plants. her motto is you protect what you know and she's on a mission to get people to know the wild plants around them better. than that's why she created the game and that to a memo a memory game that you teaches people of all ages about plant life. began that they had fancied i would really like wild plants to be part of our lives again i think fact i'll even go one step further i'd also like to see them on our menu because wild plants contain so many important nutrients that are often missing

8:50 pm
that process releases c o 2 and me fame into the atmosphere alcohol and other chemicals from the printing process also see from the paper into the environment catapult magazine founded binyamin freight began printing on a different sort of paper to save trees. this is the magazine issue where we changed over from normal paper to recycled paper. here i calculated how many trees were filled with normal and on the back with recycled paper if publishers would simply switch from normal paper to recycled paper it would be a huge step. to sure it would be so much less damaging to the environment. not to. it's a viable solution for big publishers the switch is simple and catapult says it costs them less than one percent more to use recycled paper and if people opted for the same high standards as asked to put in completely sustainable printed products

become as common as wild clumps. i am extra. takes us to senegal many of the country's 15000000 inhabitants live beside the atlantic ocean where the sea level rise of course by climate change is making the existing problem of costly russian worse 4 decades ago a forest was planted in the northwest of the country to combat the problem of shoreline retreat that is right near to and changed the lives of farmers and fishermen there but now population growth and other a putting a strain on the forest communities are now walking together in order to maintain or given through the forest hill. a bone to fall harvest of all at plants that's not something that pharma monny so take for granted. here's one of over 20000 farmers living in the ne i use region of northwest in

8:54 pm
population means the demand for timber full feel and fulfilled in fairness is also growing. but the solution the forest has been divided up into some 200 plots monitored by different i would cultural and forestry troops. each group decides which felled according to streets. something's up planted to replace and each reason to chop down this there's reason leaving some planes to farmers all over the coast. when i'm wading in. as you can see it's because of the abundance of pine trees that we have for talana to maintain the forests essential to the work of our association . in order to do we have to plant and replenish trees it's crucial to sustainable development but that again what about what the young trees are water in their
