is to say there is more to life than getting married at the very young age most is being done to fight this cool practice. the 77 percent is 60 minutes on dw, we are all set and we're watching closely. we all seem to bring you the story behind the news. we rolled about unbiased information for 3 months. the we all know that it is important to make a good impression and the close to choose a lot about what sort of passing you are. i am under 3 know do and today on equal
8:31 am
off because we're going to be looking at the topic, but he's very close to my house function and to mine to sandra. so you can see, so we've been looking into what happens to all the use of fluids, especially the 1000 pounds of ship flushing that's of thrown away each week. i am present lives as this is what else we've got for you today on the show. the rediscovery of the miracle plans kemp, us of fossil ssl role materials a surprising solution to the waste from the to the shows poly oil habits and the high tech ways in which salt offered guides protective hundreds of shots species. recycling clouds is big business, as most people get used to changing the loop. often the one problem with these
8:32 am
cheap fost flushing is that it is often so poorly made that it cannot be reused. what takes the 3 dust and gone off, but millions of old closing positive from lily western countries are often more rock. some reaches almost top, gets thrown away, which is close enough land feeds, beaches and the ocean limits. some people who are finding ways to stop that half of these sessions from beginning and capital a young oven, the above oh, mega hit you can look good. i'm take responsibility. that's the message from across young design is like in the softball, full video behind the non profit labels, the revival. yeah, you're fine and from may not does the voice. and what i would design is just our,
8:33 am
to our tool to engage every individual you know, every global citizen to, to wake up us and see and question everything about the clothes that we, with all the things that we have quite a few mean as a studio and across the 2 men mix different materials and 3 and up governments to create something new use. so it's that arrives and gone out by the ton from the us, europe and asia, our source of inspiration. as we all know, what yours use, including on, on by to credible most of them, and then the have a very negative impact on the environment when it's being dispos. so we are trying to deconstruct the idea of what ways to really means when he comes to test when it comes to fashion. and this is where the men from the revival source they materials come from onto the biggest market for 2nd hand clothing and gonna end across west
8:34 am
africa. here's some $30000.00 trade is by source and re sell around 1000 tons of clothing each year. more than 15000000 items change hands each week though due to the poor quality, roughly half of them end up in the trash. we get the london ones, the china. why the poorly, i want that kind of that wants and that we get a grease, the good be we get is not all that good. ok, so you open it's and out over the you get rocks. that's given rise to flourishing up selecting business intensive on so many text i'll mention still try to find take is within the policy with some local initiatives as a dash of color to faded fabrics to attempt to potential bias in
8:35 am
china is workshops. all those so used to make new ones as cheap, so everything becomes more available around the globe. the mountains of secondhand tech styles keep growing and gone to what stops as fast fashion soon winds up here, often strewn on the beaches. and especially because most synthetic 5 is being used in governments. the materials with a chemical residue use made link it here for centuries. it's a threat that worries session activist and environmental research a harriet and jumping i am concerned about the environment. i'm concerned about. everybody within the 2nd hun business supply chain because 1st question and 2nd hungry honey hans. so yeah, i guess and it is for you set up, right? and the, so these are just the things that we should stop seeing a lot more attention to and stop con shows the developing business modules that
8:36 am
actually puts pressure less pressure on that was our thought. she says, we really need to get to the roots of the problem. the donnas quality controls, the 2nd hand closing impulse are an urgent need of them. please know everyone sees con, some on to as if it have for this hosting or for all materials. so if you holding their brands, the 1st question brands are comfortable in looking at it's looking at the big picture of how i mean the regulations could actually contribute to national associates and they'll make developments to dates and gone to it's been mainly active as office like my co guy who's given much thoughts to how to use the closing waste that's already in the country. i saw it as
8:37 am
a business around the people i know buying. so i took it upon myself to also buy them to create my pieces. i'm not totally for, for they beauty. i'm also a regional awareness for the environment because these are some of the, um, there might you is that you finding that in their beaches, us waste and visual god got us too. so i'm also creating a awareness for people to be eco friendly cheap, so this can even be transformed into ox. it's one of the creative ways of dealing with the waste from soft fashion impuls please biodegradable fabrics such as cotton and will, will eventually decompose. but these days the most used fabric is pulling the stuff which has surround, doesn't waste on these hots the recycle. you can burn it,
8:38 am
which is not good or scientist. anything that hoping you can find not throw chemical compounds that can each of the plastic gloves and i turn it into something really usable. 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 eval, worsening problem. obviously, with a growing population is a growing demand for tech styles. and we have a, a budgeting, waste problem with those tech styles when they reach their end of life. so we, we very rapidly need solutions to, to deal with the recycling issue. worldwide consumers are turning to fast trash can close manufactured at low cost and with a high turnover. a cherished material polyester,
8:39 am
this clothing fiber accounts for 60 percent of what we, where it's a fast trying, durable, and above all cheap fabrics, making it very popular in the fashion, moving clothing industry. but fast fashion clothes are discarded by the ton in the 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 as to be capable of tackling the poly in a single use plastic buffalo such as this one here. and what we want to do is to see whether the enzymes that can break down these prostate buckles are also able to break down the polyester in fabrics such as this. once frozen in liquid nitrogen, the material is ground into tiny bits.
8:40 am
next those particles are placed in a bio reactor where they're mixed with the enzymes and so we can think of an enzyme is like almost like a power sources. so when we take our plastics that just saw a very long string of different molecules. and then we use our ends on this to cut that string in specific places. so when we do that at the end of the reaction, we have like the sink of different parts of the plastic, which we condense or separate austin. so different things. and then we can react size 3, the make a new plastic, or they can be used in alpha chemical industries. the researchers in portsmouth have already identified more than 70 enzymes that can breakdown polyester development that will hopefully lead to more sustainability in the clothing industry.
8:41 am
let's move now to overall material that is used in many different ways and goes by many names. and kind of these are the best news we are talking about a plant which has been used any interest and form for hundreds of years for textiles. pep pub maybe seen energy, an oil bought the rise of a drug trade caused him to be demonized and criminalized, bought dues to tune. the miracle plant is making a comeback. and that house also its benefits for the environment. a close by many names, 10 kind of best buy the one that we got and then just as diverse it as names are, it's uses. we made our take styles, pay per medicine, energy, oil all the time until we start to demonizing and criminalizing. we've hammered it down into uh is humanities has the this is an illegal and massive
8:42 am
leave that plans have cultivation start to 12000 to use a going china. and from there, human submitted, every bit saves are used highly durable him for data ropes and sales. so they took the seats with them everywhere because of the root. hemp of the 2nd most used materials on the ships. it's flowers have been used as medicine for thousands of years, as well as in spiritual practices or just simply for pleasure. but then came to that, okay, just for kind of a new technologies were invented for cutting, which boosted supplies of 5 trees, replaced 10 bits of paper source and the date, their sales enrolled. there may be petroleum based synthetics. now the make offense is making a comeback. scientists as slowly discovering that it seizes can go valid beyond what do they have known so far and would help us clean up
8:43 am
a lot of industries. the big one is construction. the building and housing industry for this is almost 40 percent of all carbon dioxide emissions. might have changed at the company is already in use as an installation metrics. but now, more and more sustainable construction companies use the template create to build the walls and floors to like this 12th floor building, maybe 10 paintings. how the homepage is basically a mixture of hem shows and line line pick the size to him. so it doesn't be great or break it this life, but strong it is breathable. site regulates moisture in temperature, but that means lower energy builds normal and basic in non toxic environment. it is fire resistance and due to its flexibility in which sense major credit gets
8:44 am
installation properties that also have to check it notes as heat sound and humidity installation. and after its lifetime, m creve can be reused as fertilizer, as it does talk to the organic piece, moles nothing to produce less carbon then concrete months. they're actually carbon negative. that means have good stores more c o 2. then it requires to make and transport that is due to hands, carbon storage capacity. remember fiber and installation stores on the net base. more than 50 kilograms of carbon dioxide. burke, you with meter of insulation, for your reference to production of plausible or ruffled insulation, emits over 250 kilograms of carbon dioxide. but bill particularly is in most countries construction regulations that are very straight and introducing a new concept for mateo can take use of testing and bureaucracy is at the beginning
8:45 am
of federal and in many countries. we need to give it a new chance and start putting all these regulations on him. we need to free this up entirely for the industries thrilling for him can also help to reduce deforestation until the late 19th century. most paper was made of hemp of the bible's and even the dress of the u. s. declaration of independence and everything on him, but to day papers made from trees. and it is one of the biggest drivers of deforestation every year. village forest, the size of particles. 15 percent of all trades to be chopped down are used to make paper. global demand is expect the least doubled. and in some cases almost triple violet got losing the forest. some companies are more willing to reintroduced him in today a paper production next to all the industry a. so they've been holding grill, the gymnast leak uh for the for the any fiber. it's all said champion,
8:46 am
pull it up because cutting needs a lot of toxic pesticides in low to take care of him. can produce 2 and a half times more fibers than a heck the cuts and it can grow up to 5 meters within just 3 to 5 months. pen fiber is not the better for the environment, but its trunk fibers also make longer lasting text that's less for to less fertilizer, less then the not pesticides much stronger and less thing fibers. but there's a catch if you want to be successful implementing m fiber into the textile industry, we have to modify him fiber to the existing dig steel machinery because all the way around it's not going to happen because the assessments 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 and that now using enzymes or mechanical processes,
8:47 am
they have fond environmental ways to customize and integrate him fibers into their existing protection. but this is still in the early stages and it will take some time on to the industry agrees on the best way to get the nice to him. this is the 1st problem. hemp is facing, you know, the industrious, to legal standard mentors 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 one, i feel that controlled substance care of the invest against all, colombo, the industrial hampton men. let's calculate that. they have a $4000000000.00 market value. 2021. and he's expected to reach almost $17000000000.00 by 2030. that's something to look odd for indeed. now to another interesting plant, the only of trees it flourishes in an easy and house made the noise of the country . the largest producer only cleared also the rope in unit bought the bountiful how
8:48 am
this produces a lot of a gun request that has not proven very useful. and to now find out in this weeks doing give it of the olive harvests takes place during the cold season. winter's the northern tanisha can be beautiful, temperatures can drop down to freeze in the country needs few for success. but even if there are hardly any for the accomplish only group. tanisha is one of the biggest only oil produces in the world. the extraction process creates lots of lift of appointments or live posts that gave you have seen. can you see an idea why not use diploma for heats exhibit and they don't let this cause a. i had an idea in my head. all of i have kept since my childhood because i visit the oil mills with my father during the construction. would you have an oil?
8:49 am
you know, i saw that this of the pullman's stock was used for a heat sample clip of cook. yeah, it was. and so on what less then it will kick some, sit there and break it, make some police promise. yes, thing is a jewel engineer, found that the thoughts of fire entering 2 twins is now food uses $150.00 tons of brackets every year. the good news is that they eliminate the need for it because of the heating value these 3 times higher than the conventional volt. rick has a couple of dogs, right? emissions pit sylvie is are using them in the open because of the book burning property on half deep anomaly as nothing but the good things to save some money. feet. uh yeah. magnificent on your order. smell. lovely and also provide very good team to me, but i'm trying to kind of repeat the success story is affecting locations well be
8:50 am
on tanisha in the cell. phones is being trained. he's being powered by a theme can be fees only brick. and how about you? if you're also doing your best, tell us about visit our website the past day doing your page we share your story. so now, because close line stretches far more than 3000 kilometers and the waters around it, a home to on the bond is of living life, including hundreds of shock species. now these practices are often verified and feed, bought. they rolled in the ocean ecosystems don't recognize us, extremely important. so if africa has been a true laser in shock, cost of ation. so let's take a deeper dive into the innovative tools used to study and also protect these often
8:51 am
endangered species. migrating blue shocks of frequent visitors to the coast of south africa. poseida shy shops and gully shocks a native to its count forest. these brown seaweeds are home to more than 200 shocks . bc's. the shock expos, 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 shock to god's 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 or the shocks barely noticed to double once
8:52 am
they've been tagged. the transmitter in midland ultrasonic pulse for 6 years. and the last couple of years of tags over a 100 trucks representing about 10 or 12 different species, many of the shocks off endangered. and we hope to find out more about the way that guy specifically i've been multiple years. we have to identify critical areas. well then over a $150.00 receive as a hood along the sea budget to detect the signals from the tech shocks. 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 onto dry land, so the doctor, they've loved, can be evaluated. we have to work with a big network of collaborators to share data on
8:53 am
a receive is. so all of the dates we clicked on these receive is it said within a network, and then we able to pick out the way the trucks have been where they're standing the time, so that we can prioritize the conservation the program can only work so long as there's broad support for shock conservation efforts from an early age humans are afraid of these ocean, printed to is no shock. populations can only survive if public attitudes to them change and that requires raising awareness by changing the mind states, i believe that i am changing the world one step at a time, a one kid at a time. for me, 5, a group of 14 is and i'm changing the minds. it's one child even if it's going to be families and teaching them why. shock saying fulton, we're at 80, i'm making such a big difference. the media tends to report on sharks,
8:54 am
mainly when they have been attacks on humans. 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 it's extra time of to speak stuff on how that actually knows and that they're not actually thing just to us that we actually endangered them by polluting and by catching conservationists have also equipped an underwater camera with bait. so they can also observe smaller shy of sharks that look into killed forest, off the coast line it to lose the amount of hiding, allowing the researches to gain useful insights into ocean by diversity. the collected data is analyzed using a program the team developed to help them assess their findings.
8:55 am
we've taken some open source machine learning software and trained it on hundreds of images and sharks and fish and all of the species that we come across here and phosphate um so that we can use it for detecting these bases in videos in the future. their research has already proved highly constructive. these already mold public acceptance of shock, conservation, and conservation areas. now make up 5 percent of south africa's ocean's environmental. this would like to see that area increased further in order to protect marine ecosystems. the, well, it's time to return to dry land. i hope you liked the show and found some key takeaways . my name is sandra to another. do think good bye from complex here in uganda. and the bye bye also from me crystal lewis in oakland state nigeria would love to hear

8:58 am
to say there is more to life than getting married at the very young age. most is being done to fight this cool practice. the 77 percent in 30 minutes on dw the, the physical interest rate for investing the theme this these everyone here just wants to get into bit calling because they are known as bit queen arrows. investors from all over are moving to latin america in search of bitcoin treasure. nowhere is the crypto currency value more highly than here. the coin in latin america starts august 18th on d. w. 2016. that's a good bunch of the clean customer wants to see if gemini was the name the last few years, have been quite a right, getting fairly in touch with the government. and i've already done the homework when it comes to databases. and of course,
8:59 am
i always look right in the eyes for kids, but perhaps the biggest on the new hobby of 900 on the referred not to be in the news. the person never comes, but when you feed them altogether, you'll realize it's cold just as another way of living. are you ready to meet the devon and join me, right? just do it on the w the
