day on day as. talks of sustainable mobility tend to focus on the big cities on ways to reduce traffic congestion and pollution and of course make life better on you give me banks's on protecting you and what if you get off because well it's not a good deal on the optical you know they since it was developed you take. these handcuffs off and why several 100 kilos and here in kenya's capital nairobi exhausted noise are another problem for day laborers. kind of quantize invention could make life easier it's an electric car cost that goes faster and can carry more you build enough to stand up to. it because it gives you silver charge where

you wish to kill it and that's it if you're looking to get more people below that is equal to each other just so you know isn't useful and doesn't bother you very well we'll see if people. in addition to sparing the environment the new vehicle can move it up to 7 kilometers an hour without using much manpower its ability to power itself is kinetic energy at its best and the big help for users. imagine us this on the ground by you are working you know how everything is pathetic wired then viral meant that there is. cream to achieve this quanta i developed electric rickshaw unlike noisy diesel truck trucks this version rolls through nairobi almost silently and without emissions it also carries fine of instead of 3 people you want to diversify to other products that utilize. what they

cannot and emitted from b. and b. in buses was. one of the more beautiful companies you know. on top of that it's produced sustainably since components of the electric vehicles come from the region. and how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website also send us a tweet. hash tag doing your best. we share your story. a lot of the things we use in our day to day life on live from oil well figure and a few words you feel was modelled on this but for the entire exhaust fumes from the cars of plastic for us in the u.s. since opining high. and those are just a couple of examples it is a terrible problem scientists are looking for alternatives and sometimes come up

with great ideas for that there is a best that somebody was going to think much of the things we've got. this building is getting added thermal insulation and damp roofing from polystyrene for every year over 10000000 tons of the synthetic material are turned into everything from facade cladding to disposable bowls and cups and packaging. but one extremely useful the downside of the material is that it is essentially non-biodegradable and takes centuries to break down and as it does it releases miniscule particles into the ground and our water supplies. this man has a plan to replace the plastic pollutant and since 2008 only reason the poor and his team have been looking into an environmentally for. the alternative popcorn.

similar to polystyrene phone. consists of a mass of cavities filled with air. i can see them when you dissect a piece of popcorn and examine it under the microscope that's what makes it so light. like the market research and his team have already used popcorn to create kitchen furniture they are showing many factories the range of potential applications for popcorn the 1st step is to turn it into a massive granules all the same size the original maize is grown in germany well that is land intensive on the plus side the material will help to reduce fossil fuel consumption. and you can read it it tastes a lot like popcorn except there's no sugar or salt or chocolate of course so the taste is a bit boring. and. the granules have been pressed

together to form sheets or panels with plant pricing providing the bonding agent as opposed to synthetic chemicals this makes the material compostable and even suitable as animal fodder. the team are pioneers in the field. they also use a hot air gun to compare the thermal conductivity of polystyrene foam to that of popcorn and then measure the heat that penetrates through to the back in the case of polystyrene foam the sensor reads 28 degrees celsius while the popcorn board is even better at absorbing the heat here the reading is under $25.00 degrees. houses with the panels in the walls or on the facades. or you can also use them as insulation for solid wall building. demarc. tiriel also performs better in the flammability test polystyrene burns up at

a frightening speed immediately beginning to melt and release toxic gases. subjected to the same flame the panel of popcorn barely catches fire. only reason the poor is happy to pass on the fruits of years of research on the material. or he hopes to see environmentally friendly products made from popcorn replacing polystyrene foam on a large scale and the sooner the better. the 1st popcorn packaging is due to go on the market in the fall of 2021 and will hopefully help to reduce the world's growing mountains of plastic waste. and new technologies can certainly make our lives easier when the internal combustion

engine was developed in the 19th century no one to market the air pollution on serious health issues it will be later that his wife many you know waiters call me to the finding it will be a waste of machines. when these innovations help to counteract climate change then wait to see for yourself. we've got corn husks aren't uncommon and wrong are these days the current drought has lasted months and they increasingly extreme weather threatens the likelihoods of local farmers specially those in the eastern part of the country who are not quote could be treated it's apparent that climate change is real and increasingly dangerous the farming season is that people are used to another longer predictable at times it trains where one expected drought well route instead of rams it's confusing you can just farm and have hope over having harvest and what even were initially and when you haven't paid

a couple. is one family who has been fortunate during these hard times have filled me a roof so she's been able to pump sufficient water to her crops. but they do so you needed to pad their pants is expensive and the exhaust that is a need to sends out contributes to a greenhouse effect the researchers and technology experts from a random start up developed a solar powered irrigation system that they had to project was financed by a u.s. aid organization and they run the government the new irrigation plant came at just the right time for 40 families from a comparative in the district that god made agricultural more difficulty and the cost of renting the diesel pumps nearly consumed the needs. with the today's science and we ended up spending much of what planning on buying

shirley while using the fuel pump into narrators ira with those little left for our livelihood now we have gotten great of all those expenses we only need to deplete someone to water the plants. of the kurdish just. due to the more affordable. promise cannot attend a larger areas of land and keep farming. a much higher assign result. i did call a hole i was only have a sitting 50 kilograms of. axes on now with so let irrigation the yield volume has multiplied by 3 when i am considering expanding my farming even when i'm in the focus on that solar powered irrigation system should be up and running in all of party districts in the country by the end over 2020 this tucked up but because the sun not even gets in system has also developed a system to make sure the temperature and moisture of the site sensors calculate

the exact amount of water needed by the plants. farmers i've been notified by and up about when and how much they should what. the plants need to get. or what's being and that's why we believe when they use this technology to improve their production. and it does been tested to be a success in the play which here's what i've been doing. these pilot system is powered by solar energy us well now the farmers know exactly which plants need water and how much of the need for the time being they improvising with plastic bottles which will soon be replaced by what to horses. it looks like technological advances will be key to all future that is all for today's show thank you all for being with us hope to see you again then i will be back with more exciting stories
