on your fits, most of the $20000000000.00 shoes produce every year, a made of lead or synthetic much terriers, which will have a sizable environment to bring. leather production involves the killing of an estimated 1000000000 animals. us synthetic materials tend to very low risk rate, making them long term polio. but they're also issues been made from natural resources such as plants and even harder much areas. these shoes are made with stone, with flexible slate use tear apart, typically made from leather. they belong to the sustainable luxury brand, isn't that team from unit sebastian teas this way? brandon's found his family has been in the shoe industry for 6 generations. but even for him, working with stone was one of the middle and hundreds of millions of years old. all

natural in each pair is a patient. technically speaking, it is a superior to leather because some of the shoes are a bit less robust. so you shouldn't wear them in siberia at minus 40 degrees celsius. but they're perfect for normal day to day purposes and the process that's making stone flexible enough. the shoemaking starts with huge blocks of marble slate, using a special technique. very thin slaps the one off, which i then glued onto a flexible material. the method was invented by burning base company volts. flynn sebastian teeth works with flexibility, the sinus heisman. actually the money and the stone becomes flexible. if you make it very, very thin, i mean we're talking less than one millimeter thick and then combine it with something stabilizing them on before then, please treat that can be fiberglass or cotton. please hold on. either will

stabilize the slice of stone and hold together the stone particles even when the slab getting bent on the stone is then exposed to heat and cold alternately to make it even more flexible. but that process isn't trademark secret. by the end, it can even be staged. next to shoes. there are also stone belts, sunglasses and banks. but there are limits to the usability village dying as well when it comes to stone, t shirts, jackets and such. it gets complicated. we've experimented with those kinds of items, but other materials offer different breed ability and range of motion by under them . but it's also going to stay expensive and labor intense. so it will probably stay more nice than math market. to back in tease has been looking for a nation again again, he had tested using unusual materials for she was never made from 10 to fungus,

a treat parasite to or from the very and all but all thing coffee ah mil, wood and fish can have all been tested as potential sneak material, but i didn't know my father developed the 1st pair of compost apple shoes back in the ninety's. so natural material have always been a big topic for team give nowadays. so much more is changing because people are more aware and that of course leads to more innovation in this area. that's the only natural rubber vegetable tend never cool in so even less prominent parts of tea that she was mostly natural on the not the stain ability is a must for us and not just the way the media is propagating that term now and woman the bottom line for us is that if it isn't sustainable, you can't call it a quality more lugs, product. kinds, benson,

now it seems the best in he's will keep walking the initiative line in his shoes made with 710 years ago the united nations declare access to clean water and sanitation is a fundamental human right. what in many parts of the world gets in slave drinking water still is not simply a matter of penny on this up. according to the un over 2000000000 people are still lacking those basic facilities. that's a truly shocking figure crease on in all too many cases, the water people do have access to east continents. it is a problem, seeing here in uganda, but also other parts of africa. what we need is a simple and sustainable solution. oh, this is not the volley refugee settlement in western uganda,

130000 people live here. 60 years ago, dean and i've been to fled the democratic republic of congo after rebels killed her husband. in ocoee valley, the lake is the source of water also for drinking for livestock as well. but the water is full of germs. every year, 20000 children under the age of 5 die in uganda of dire real disease. one major reason is that they have no choice but to drink dirty water, heat kills germs. so dean and i've been to boil the water, she fetches from the lake. she has 5 children. when i think we boil drinking water using charcoal, and if we don't have it, we use firewood. otherwise we'll be drinking very dirty water that comes at a cost to the environment to make charcoal trees are cut down. forest also had to be clear to make space for the settlement,

but there's another way to provide face clean drinking water out of the room, g and henry of the run to sufficient a social enterprise that makes automated low cost filters. this set up cost $1200.00. the money was donated by somebody in the united states. it supply enough water for about 900 people out of 830000 in the settlement. but it's still, let's start there. what does that passes through our field? that he's from the lake, you can see this is a, are you know what up from the lake and then update buses through the filter. this is there is out that we get out of the wounds and lost a brother to colorado. he drank contaminated water, access to clean water is a human right to sufficient aims to deliver what the state fails to provide. it also developed a small water filter for home use use is grenade. to

purify the water. we have 2 buckets. bit bucket contains the granite and then the la bucket is a reason for the water. so they put down the bucket and then the whole food should have been in the granite. the only order is given through the granite and only see if water goes into there is for, for that that shows people how to put together their own water filter. the granite needs to be cleaned every few months, then it can be reused, dean and have been to isn't treat if you filter water this way, you no longer have to boil it or by charcoal, which means lower emissions and costs. and there's another advantage. every time we stole an institution feels that we train that women around the community to make

sure that they have access to safe drinking water in their homes. we can also go entry as a people or also make these what are fools as then so them and an extra income for them. so how to be woozy and henry of diego installed the 1st large filtering system using granite in central uganda, in a school near the capital compiler. several 100 pupils now have access to clean water and fall sick. let's also use a safe. hasn't heard anything. so i told me a lot cause i'm suffering will tell you for you don't even suffer pay for it. i don't even go to school to sufficient. quantify the impact that use of its filters have on the environment in terms of trees protected, n c o. 2 emissions in a yeah, we serve mostly over at least $240.00 tons of new york said for each field and learning that respect with land. whenever to sufficient, installed

a large filter system in a school, the team plants marine ga trees with the pupils about a 1000 in all over the past 2 years in the marines as absorb. and i also had an amazingly high rate 20 times the rate of general vegetation but to sufficient aims to do more than just replace trees that have been filled. we need to begin writing these idea over protecting the environment into the minds of the people while they're still young. tradition in the event and many african countries is that you've got to dream to purify what we want to change that tradition. totally knock ivana dina and i've been to, had since acquired and started using a water filter. she put it together herself. my, you know,

the voice from the filter is clean and usable. you know, i'm very surprised that this is the same house which was originally dirty cows and people had contaminated. my thanks to the, to sufficient filter, she and her family stand a better chance of staying healthy with less effort and at lower cost. however dirty, the water in the lake continues to be what a good idea. hopefully, it will inspire others of course, africa to launch similar initiative for the sake of people and the environment. do not forget to name again next week for another exciting edition of equal africa is a good buy from b sender to interview here in compiler, uganda. by sandra in the meantime, you can stay in touch with those on social media, is the brom 3 term facebook. stay safe. be mindful of others and see you soon. i am chris the lamps. finding out from lagos, nigeria. i
