a train you can choose to go back or somewhere else. currently, more people than ever on the move worldwide in search of a better life. so why do i want to go back to 9 g? like i do, i have any reason to delay this? no reason that's nothing for me that yeah, i believe something good is coming very, very soon. and yeah, come with gene miller don't allow when the story in for my gosh, reliable news from my friends wherever they may be. ah ah. we all know that it is important to make a good impression. and the clothes you choose say a lot about what sort of passing you are. i am under twin of you and today on equal

africa, we're going to be looking at a topic that he's a very close to my hot fashion. and to mind to sandra as he can see, thought we've been looking into what happens to all the youth clothes, especially the thousands of thousands of ship fashion that are thrown away each week. i am christa lamps, as this is what else we've got for you to day of the show. ah, the rediscovery of the miracle plant. hemp of fossil towel rolled materia, a surprising solution to the waste from the shells olive oil harvest and the high tech ways in which south africa is protected. hundreds of shots, species, recycling clothes, as big business as more people gets used to change india. luke, often. one problem with these cheap fast fashion is that it is often so poorly

made that it cannot be re used for textile traders in ghana, but millions of old clothes imported from milly. western countries are often more rocks than reaches. almost harb gets thrown away, which is clog in our land feeds. beeches and the ocean were met. some people were finding ways to stop that happening. these fashions from the canadian capital, a young, urban and above all mega hit. you can look good and take responsibility exam. so that's the message from a cross. young design is like elisha marshall and video behind the non profit label of the revival. yet iraq papa and cra, may not darzy poison or our design is just our tool. our tool to um,

and ditch every into the draw. you know, every global citizen to, to wake up and see and question everything about the cost of the way or things w corners. human. at the studio in a crop. the 2 men mix different materials and pre left governments to create something, need used clothes that arrived and gone by the ton from the u. s. europe and asia are a source of inspiration. as we all know, ah, i'm much years years including unknown by degradable, most of them. and then they have a very negative impact on the environment when it's being des pulled. so we are trying to deconstruct the idea off what waste really means when a couch to textile, when it comes to fashion. and this is where the men from the revival source they materials come from until the biggest market for 2nd hand clothing in ghana and

across west africa here some 30000 trade is by sort and re so around $40000.00 tons of clothing each year. i'm glad you're more than 15000000 items change hands each week though due to their poor quality. roughly half of them end up in the trash. i know we got a long been was day time now why the korea was that gun? it there was. and we get a grease, we get a we get b, a is not all that good. hey, so you open, it's an o d u get rocks that's given rise to flourishing up cycling business encounter man . so where many textile mitch and still try to find, take his with another fantasy ways. some local initiatives add a dash of color to faded fabrics to attempt to potential bias a job in taylor's workshops,

old clothes i used to make new ones as cheap clothing becomes more available around the globe. the mountains of 2nd hand textiles keep growing in ghana. what starts as fast fashion soon winds up here, often strewn on the beaches and in the sea. and because more synthetic 5 is being used in garments the materials with their chemical residues may linger here for centuries. it's a threat that worries fashion activist and environmental research a harriet and are jumping i am concerned about the environment. i'm concerned about everybody within their 2nd hand business supply chain because fasfa sion in 2nd grade honey hunt. so yeah, i guess and are, is polluted operationally. so these are just things that we, she was stopping a lot more attention to and start consciously developing business modules that

actually puts pressure less pressure on them about that. she says, we really need to get to the root of the problem. donna's quality controls for 2nd hand clothing impulse or in urgent need of improvement. not every one sees cancer, mental as m. m a half for the sauce enough. raw material. so i few holding their brands, their 1st washing brands are countable in looking at it, looking at the big picture of how i mean their regulations could actually contribute to national so sure, economic development to date in gonna it's been mainly activists or artists like my co guy who's given much thought to how to use the clothing waste that's already in the country. i thought is a b, she's around dark and people are no buying. so i took it upon myself to

also buy them to create my pieces and natalie for, for their beauty, amazon. so m greeting awareness for day and barrow meant course, you saw tom t o m there martinez that you finding nearby in their beaches, us waste. and they took our got us too. so i muscle and greeting awareness for people to be eco friendly. sheep clothes can even be transformed into art. it's one of the creative ways of dealing with the waste from fast fashion imports. at least biodegradable fabrics such as cotton and wool will eventually decompose. but these days, the most used fabric is polyester, which hangs around us waste ali's heart to recycle. you can burn it,

which is not good or scientists in england are hoping you can find natural chemical compounds that can eat up the plaster clothing and turn it into something reusable again. in this laboratory in the british coastal city of portsmouth, researchers are deep freezing articles of clothing. the experiments with liquid nitrogen and polyester shirts are being conducted to deal with an ever worsening problem. obviously with growing population as a growing demand for textiles. and we are, however, a burgeoning a waste problem with those textiles when they reach their end of life. so we do, we very rapidly need a solutions to, to deal with the recycling issue. world wide consumers are turning to fast fashion clothes, manufactured at low cost, and with high turnover. a cherished material polyester. this clothing fiber

accounts for 60 percent of what we, where it's a fast trying, durable, and above all cheap fabric. making it very popular in the fast moving clothing industry. but fast fashion clothes are discarded by the tongue in landfills like this one in kenya. and polyester, a synthetic fiber is practically impossible to recycle. but the scientists and portsmouth are harnessing the power of enzymes. so we have uh engineered enzymes, either to be capable of tackling the polyester in single use plastic bottles such as this one here. and what we want to do is to see whether the enzymes that can break down these plastic bottles are also able to break down the polyester in fabrics such as this one's frozen in liquid nitrogen. the material is ground into a tiny bit. next those particles are

placed in a bio reactor with her mixed with the enzymes play, we can think of an enzyme as like almost like a power says. so when we take our plastics, that just like a very long string of different molecules, and then we use our enzymes to cut that string and specific places. so when we do that at the end of the reaction, we have like the soup of different parts of the plastic, which we can then swasap right often. so different things. and then we can react size to either make a new plastic, or they can be used in other chemical industries. the researchers in portsmouth have already identified more than 70 enzymes that can break down polyester. a development that will hopefully lead to more sustainability in the clothing industry.

let's move now to a rural material that is used in many different ways and goes by many names hamp and come a bees are the best noun. we are talking about a plant which has been used any innocent form for hundreds of years. for textiles. pepper may be seen energy and oil, but the rise of the drug trade caused tempt to be demonized and criminalized, but deuced at you. these a miracle plant is making a comeback, and that has also its benefits for the environment. goes by my name's kind of, it's mighty one that we got injured and just as diverse, it is named or it's use this. we made our textiles, paper medicine, energy, oil, all the temp until we started demonizing and criminalizing. we hammered down into humanities, had an illegal and massively bad plan,

temp cultivation started 12000 years ago in china. and from there, humans depended era that sailors used highly durable, hemp for de ropes and sale. so they took the seats with them everywhere. because after mood of the 2nd most used material on the ships, it flowers have been used as medicine for thousands of years. as vetted and spiritual practices are just simply for pleasure. but then came to dark ages for cannabis. new technologies were invented for cotton, which boosted supplies of fiber. trees, replaced habits of paper source, and later sales and roughly made with petroleum based synthetics. now the make of plant is making a comeback. scientists as slowly discovering that its uses can go valid beyond what we have known so far and could help us clean up

a lot of industries. every one is construction. the building and housing industry for this is almost 40 percent of all carbon dioxide. asia might have changed at 10 is already in use as an installation metric. but now more, more sustainable construction companies use temp create to build walls and floors to like this 12 floor building made with 10 feet in south africa. him crate is basically a mixture of shives and lime, the lime petrified. the hemp sight, 70 great or break. it is light, but strong. it is breathable to regulate moisture and temperature, but that means no energy builds normal and basically non toxic environment. it is fire resistance and due to flexibility can withstand major it's insulation

properties and also the chat. it says heat sound and humidity insulation and after its lifetime hem create can be reused as fertilizer, as it is totally organic. ah, attempted most let on to produce less carbon then concrete lungs. they're actually carbon negative. that means hem could stores more c o 2 than it requires to make and transport. that is the, the him carbon storage capacity. fiber insulation stores on the net base more than 50 kilograms of carbon dioxide per cubic meter of insulation. for your reference, the production of glass will or roku installation emits over 250 kilograms of carbon dioxide. but the sickle is, in most countries construction regulations are very strict, and introducing that new construction material can take years of testing and bureaucracy. hemp did at the beginning of central in many countries. we need to

give it a new chance and stop putting all these regulations on him. we need to free this up entirely for the industries to really move forward. can also help reduce deforestation until the late 900 century. most paper was made of hamp early bibles and even the dress of the u. s. declaration of independence were written on hemp, but to day paper is made from trees. and it is one of the biggest drivers of deforestation every year. viola forests, the size of portugal. 15 percent of all trees be chopped down are used to make paper. global demand is expected that least doubled, and in some cases almost triple violence, losing our forests, some companies are more willing to reintroduced hands into their paper production. next to all the industry is a little bit holy grail to geminus league for her for any fiber. it's also

a champion politics because cotton needs a lot of toxic pesticides in water. take care of him can produce 2 and a half times more fiber than a hector of cut, and it can grow up to 5 meters within just 3 to 5 months. fiber is not only better for the environment, but it's strong fibers also make longer lusting textiles, less water, less fertilizer, less land, and not pesticides, stronger and lusting fibers. but there's a catch. if you want to be successful implementing m fiber into the textile industry, we have to modify to him fiber to the existing text field machinery to go all the way around is not going to happen because the investments to do so. i used to hi, thanks for the patience the textile industry has been facing companies and researchers have been trying to find out, tentative now using enzymes or mechanical processes. they have found environmental

leis to cut the knives and integrate hemp fibers into their existing products. but this is still in the early stages, and it will take some time until the industry agrees on the best way to get to know the him. this is the 1st problem. hemp is facing in other industries to lack of standard matters because of missing research and development for decades. regulations are still confusing and they change from country to country. these differences plus the fact that my wife still a controlled substance care of the investors. but against all odds, globally, industrial, hemp demand was calculated to have a $4000000000.00 market value to any to anyone. and he's expected to reach almost $17000000000.00 by to any 30 that's something to look out for. indeed. now to another interesting plant, the olive tree, it flourishes in tunisia and housemaid, the north african country, the largest producer only oil all said the rope in union,

but the bountiful harvest produces a lot of organic list that has not proven very useful. and to now find out in this weeks doing gibbet. ah, yeah. the earliest harvest takes me during the cold season. winter's in northern tenicia can be brutal. temperatures can drop down to freezing the country needs fuel for heating, but even if there are hardly any forest. there are countless olive groups. tunisia is one of the biggest olive oil producers in the world. the extraction process creates a lot of left of a promise or, or live poll that gave you a scene, can give me an idea why not use the pump for heat in did all at that. i had an idea in my head, and i have kept since my childhood with because i visit the oil mills with my father flexion during the extraction. williams oil. you know,

i saw that also said the woman that was used for heat central clip off and cook. yeah. it was on so on while as you and then it clicked. oh, so sit there and break it made from olive thomas. yes, it is a jew engineer who founded the start of filings in 2020. it now produces $150.00 tons of brick. it's every year. the good news is that they eliminate the need for logging because the heating value is 3 times higher than conventional water. ricketts on has lower carbon dioxide emissions. pizzeria is i using them in the are of them because of the good burning properties and hefty been amo, once a hammer has nothing but good things to say. and so money feet are, they are magnificent on your order. the smell lovely and also provide very good. he tree bon shanna kandrique. the success story is affecting locations well beyond

tonisha in the south of france. esteem treme has been powered by a thing, can be fees olive brick. ah, and how about you? if you are also doing your best, tell us about it, visit our website center. so tweak hash tag during your bid. we share your stories somehow because course line stretches far more than 3000 kilometers and the waters around it a home to an abundance of marine life, including hundreds of shock species. now these practices are often vilified and feared, but they roll in the ocean ecosystems down recognized as extremely important step africa has been a trail blazer in shock conservation. so let's take a deeper dive into the innovative tools to study and also protect these often

endangered species. the migrating blue sharks are frequent visitors to the coast of south africa, pacified shy sharks and gully sharks, a native to it's called forest. these brown seaweeds are home to more than 200 shock species. ah, shock expert ryan daily regularly monitors their activities to conserve shocks. we need to know where they go, where they spend time. so we are tagging the shop to figure out where they go and identify critical habitat for them so that we can improve protection for these critical areas. he and his team fit the shots with acoustic transmitters, so they can track them a procedure. the shocks barely noticed once they've been tagged,

the transmitter emit an ultrasonic pulse for 6 years. in the last couple of years of tags over a 100 chalk, representing about 10 or 12 different species. many of the shocks aw, endangered. and we hope to find out more about a way they go differently and multiple years. we have to identify critical areas for them. over $150.00 receivers are moved along the sea bed to detect the signals from the tag shock. whenever one of them swims by the receiver records, the id number, the signal ranges up to one kilometer. the acoustic receivers are regularly brought on to dry land, so the dr. they've logged can be evaluated. we have to work with a big network of collaborators to share data on the receivers. so all of the day we

collect on the receiving, it said within a network, and then we able to figure out the way the trucks have been where they've been in the town so that we can prioritize the conservation the program can only work so long as there's broad support for sharp conservation effort. from an early age humans are afraid of these ocean printers. shock populations can only survive if public attitudes to them change, and that requires raising awareness. by changing the mindset, i believe that i am changing the world one step at a time, one kid at a time for me 5, a group of 40 learners and i'm changing the mind of one child, even if it's going to be families and teaching them why shock important, really making such a big deal than the media tends to report on sharks mainly when they have been

attacked on human at the shock education center in cape town, children can learn about the valuable role they play in marine ecosystems and get up close with shock, eggs and even teeth so secretary must pick those on how they're doing those and that they're not actually things that we actually do the polluting and by caching conservationists have also equipped an underwater camera with bait. so they can also observe smaller, shy, a sharks that look in the camp forest, off the coastline it lose them out of hiding, allowing the researches to gain useful insights into ocean biodiversity. the collected data is analyzed using a program the team developed to help them assess their finding.

we've taken some open source machine learning software and trained it on hundreds of images and sharks and fish and all the species that we come across here and false de. so that we can use it for detecting these species in videos in the future. their research has already proved highly constructive. there is already more public acceptance of shock, conservation and conservation areas. now make up 5 percent of south africa's oceans . environmentalists would like to see that area increase further in order to protect marine ecosystems. well, it's time to return to dry land. i hope you liked the show and held some key takeaways . my name is sandra to no video. thank you. bye from counselor here in uganda. and the bye bye also from me chris,
