well meanwhile the men are responsible for the cultivation and harvest around 2000 families supply for millionaires by a plastic she regularly meets with the heads of communities to exchange the latest production numbers to pay fair wages she cuts out middlemen. the most important things that. drive me to beijing it in this is about. this they're living in there so they have no access fulfilling their basic needs so some of them also have their fix them of human trafficking so i think it's very very involved and fortune to help them to improve a livelihood. when the pandemic has eased money more your know will need more suppliers to scale up production farmers like.

it's primarily big food chains and cosmetics distributors who want to see their products wrapped up in seaweed demand for plastic repackaging is growing and she's using a raw material with massive future potential. it's not just the. inside our homes that have an impact on the what we used to build our houses and apartments with takes a toll but there are alternatives that are more environmentally friendly than others we visited a home in england made entirely out of a material that many of us commonly associate with wine. you can use cork for wine bottles or to build an entire house. this one in eastern england is actually made completely of cork and it's entirely sustainable i've always been slightly dissatisfied with things that we typically build with especially in

housing concrete blocks mortar plastic foam insulation the whole collection of things which and up being quite so the negative impacts on resources. helen dennis team experimented for almost 20 years cutting interlocking cork blocks until they found the best structural solution the $1268.00 blocks are slotted together without mortar. alone holds them together and the additional insulation is needed. that does have a smell all of its own a bit like inside a cigar box. 44 square meters of comfort and security modern a k a could once rather like in an ancient mayan temple. has long been news and building facades. this holiday home was built in 2007 in northern portugal

the habitat of the cork oak. time has left its mark of this house. course and chilling with the environment moves in changes color that's exactly what vasco magali likes about it. as it's rained. and it's wet here in this one is behaving just as we expected. this shark one brown color it's the color of the reaction to the. wetness of the atmosphere it's very sensual material it follows the seasons it changes through and through and through the year. a tribute to portugal's national pride. because the world's largest korku forest it's a paradise of biodiversity and a boon to the climates. portugal is one of privilege because the court

has a unique system for each dawn of course we retain $73.00. to and in the 3 species that we don't cut we just peel the bark of the tree. the trees can be up to 200 years old the core can be harvested every 9 years when the bark grows thick enough to be curfewed cuts. a spot of course are increasingly replaced by metal and plastic stoppers the oak is in decline. so the rediscovery of cork as a building material is welcome. its look is also in line with current trends. you don't get to put something on the outside of your house if you don't like so people 1st have a visual and aesthetic satisfaction with the product it is at the same time a roost the contemporary visual. now hundreds of constructions using cork have been

built private homes doctors practices schools. but there's never been a building made exclusively of cork like the house in eaton. matthew hell i'm just pleased with the result and given the almost 0 carbon footprint he'll certainly be able to sleep with a clear conscience. one of the go to options across the world today when it comes to building faster for the built homes is shipping containers they've been used to build hostels hotels restaurants and even makeshift schools but skeptics have sometimes questioned their feasibility as a sustainable building block a design a do employ me seems to me finding solutions to tackle the skepticism by providing a more eco friendly tone that if.

not long ago this daycare center urgently needed to extend the building and decided to try something different opting to use discarded shipping containers now do the steel boxes house the playroom for children with. geography and incidentally also about how to live sustainably. i was searching for something that can be quickly constructed and if at all in future we want to change something then that option is there because it's a mobile gyno construction. sonali park and doc about run the company that provided the containers. defended the studio alternatives in 2016 to design and build homes work in space and just about anything that can be contained within. all using discarded shipping containers.

the motivation that we have to work behind this is also a big environmental factor where we feel that nothing should go waste and we should be able to work with all kinds of my data that we have around us so as humans we've created so many complex. why do you do this and that we ourselves don't know what to do with and it is just ending in that. since 1956 shipping containers have been the standard rail forwarding from. built with corrosion resistant steel they're used for cross-posting for about 12 years often disputed the sit in junk yards waiting to be melted. but melting shipping containers uses $8000.00 clue what our finance repurposing them into buildings acquires just 5 percent of the vote. if your ex's say you're following their guiding principle

of creative reuse the partners with keen to show you what's possible. so the design and build a home for daughter and her family made and direly out of scrap and 3 discarded shipping containers. so this entrance door is made with all the windows and. when once you enter this house is made of it. the 25th the day you know converted into a 2 bedroom house this is a kitchen sink cum wash basin so that it's dictions of keeping the plumbing in a can do you know. the fate of some of the washbasin something made out of all these bad lead water can be used even on the side. of the blue house built at a cost of 7000 lock rupees or 22000 euros as

a show to convince new buyers for an. effective and environmental free living space. the shipping container can be up to me does the it needs to be created to eliminate exposure to toxic chemicals and also to prevent trust the studio all done to do spokeo the containers locally from a boat in mumbai each one costing up 200000 rupees $1500.00 euro's a typical container home takes about 3 to 6 months to make and can subsequently be transported to any part of the world. it has a much lower carbon footprint than homes built with cement for example which is one of the biggest producers of carbon dioxide worldwide. but as yet these homes made from discarded containers on a still something of an experiment rather than

a go to housing solution. this becomes mainstream in terms of acceptance that people think that reuse is not because i can't afford it but because it's making aesthetic and environmental sense so there would be achieved that probably you know it's just in that zone where we're trying it out. the designers have built 16 container homes so far and saved close $220.00 tons of steel. and perhaps even more important they are spreading the word of rio de lys dition and eco friendly construction saw amongst the youngest interest. i hope to be is that the thought has given you a sense of how people around the world are making sustainable choices when it comes to the living spaces and i hope you had many takeaways from it we'll see you again next week until then stay safe big good care of your loved ones and yourselves the
