some maintenance cables will run inside a conduit done to the investors. it's about simple desktop for now, the roofing revolutionary is a relatively minor player in what is a $1000000000.00 market. but he's convinced that his innovative solar trials will soon be in demand across the country. it's good to know you. one, i'm from you. germany has 50000000 detached, semi detached who's is missing, and that will require energy related to modernization over the next 30 years. so i'm just hoping that the, if you project that figured out, we're talking about half a 1000000 roofs a year on a moving $2.00 to $300000000.00 solar tiles to be installed in the system. and we're looking forward to making a contribution for that target going back to the doctor and i talked to last but with germans known for being very price conscious, they might still need some persuading. time is however, on his side,

if the panels produce the right results, they're bound to gain in popularity in the future. so le, tells what a clever and efficient way to both cover your house and your energy needs to see what's in his sleep. and one that seems taylor made for africa because if there's one thing we have in abundance, it's sunshine. you know, what else africa has an abundance of discarded textiles sent to you from other parts of the world. and that is creating a lot of environmental problems. so my soul does uganda presidents, unity and so many the glad i'm back on imports of secondhand clothes. but what can be done with what's already here? well, i still have in stuff half ago may have the solution and these young entrepreneurs are on the mission to defend the environment against

never ending textile waste. they snatch up off cuts fabric and a roll pieces and sold inventory and sold and rejects and give them a 2nd chance at life. yeah, this is an example of some of the one way to recycle. and she said right now, so these are the products that we actually eventually want to me. the global self is becoming the textiles dump of the global north. every day, almost $200.00 tons of textile waste a dump a landfill was an african countries decomposing fabrics. we lease harmful greenhouse machine gas, well toxic chemicals and dies. ringback fit into the ground water and soil, but it's say to sing and her friends have vowed to do their beat with re will been inspired by their own hometown and major manufacturing hub. we have about 300 as so closing manufacturers operating. and so that's the cost of

a half of them on the list in case. so you want to to start somebody to solve that problem, but at the same time create jobs. but at the same time, so create an innovative solution. their initiative, make sure for you what textiles end up in landfill. spike collect include intended for dump sites from manufacturers and selling them to recycle is who process the material is a fiber and thread for fabric production. we will then also use this the fiber to make split where and different kinds of textiles. the company collects 70 tons of text i'll waste a month is just one percent of western cape waste. the teen safe, finding recycling, missionary in south africa is a big challenge. still, it plans to expand to other provinces and continue to clean up the polluting textile industry. and how about you? if you're also doing your bit, tell us about it, visit our website, or to send us

a tweet hash tag doing your bit. we share your story to using was to make something useful. that's central to some of the most exciting innovations that we have seen today. and before we say good bye would like to introduce you to a month right to in uganda. we used his background in aerospace engineering to develop sustainable solutions for areas that are very much down to us. and the results are impressive. no more darkness in helen young, whose house it has been about a year since a home was connected to electricity. and since might then well, but they haven't seen and it's just that was this last time for them to see,

but they could not believe a village or go to court power. at the same time, electricity is changing life and people getting electricity. my customers use to return to the homes early due to the documents, but we've power we can sell up to midnight. got good is a remote funding community located up by 300 kilometers north of you kind of capital. it borders which you sent for professional. pub, yukon, dislodges, conservation area, and home to engage and species like elephants in 2009 when you kind. an aerospace engineering to nickel visited the oscar village in the district of new what he saw in need for clean energy possible. it wasn't near the natural path to say if we could do something in the way of which would reduce the pressure on file would be interesting self concept and that should back. secondly, no, i had

a lot of agriculture, which means whatever we could do with agricultural waste, we could do it in noise. so in 2012 time you go setup a private company. today they've gone input goose generate 64 in the watts of renewable energy from other cultures by a mess to a process called justification. use of the shape of the gas it by just a spock is enough to get the material to heat up to 1000 degrees celsius. at that temperature, it breaks down from rice tasks, mace, couple glass shelves, coffee husks into methane and hydrogen rubber feel. while those gas is light, they rise to the top. this fucked out and go to power. the engine moves how this has just ended. after removing the kronos for food,

the woman used to throw away it's called nowadays apply them to peter michael as a raw material to produce the energy to be used at the homes. and this month lease, we sell it to them. they bite, we get as monday or most good times. we get the money, this one. then we get the money in the rise husks. the company also use us the waste from the guest, if occasion during the process guesses a separation from the soul of by a mess. it leaves behind tons of solid rest, which you called by 0 cost. they're a micro paused form in the bias. how does micro pause off perfect for bacteria to flourish? when bacteria flourish in the by time, the soil then released nutrients into the ground automatically fertilizing the ground. so by char, improved soil moisture reducing the need for irrigation by char helps keep

the sofa tile reducing the need for non organic fertilizes. during the planting season, he gives the bio called out for free to about a 1000 farm is in the region. helen younger also gets some the forms of this benefiting from their own waste, delivered to the company. it's so the cycle is complete and keeps on going. it's a virtual cycle, which takes us from the vicious cycle of poverty to a virtuous cyclist prosperity. every year peter nickle can produce up to 100 tons of bio cos. he only use this house listed as fertilizer. the other health is used to make key cooking fuel in the form of pilots us. he also gives us a fee to families to avoid cutting down trees for firewood. so far the company has offset over 50000 tons of c o 2 annually. my pop up is going,

but i know it continuing. i only use a few pilots to cook. now compared to the big volume of firewood that i previously young's pace, and even if i light a few pellets and cooking as far as timing out in the back lawn chair, maybe. but at the end, in the last decade, peter nickle has said a 5 minute group plans and you kinda costing some 4500000 euros raise mainly to venture capital. his hybrid models back so power from bio mass with solar, another clean energy source, the punch and the rates. a total of $500.00 kilowatts powering more than a 100 household businesses and institutions. in the evening. we can switch on our biomass classify and run it by daytime. we have the solar running and we have a small amount of battery capacity to balance that load. so we have uniform electricity 24 hours a day. every day of the year. on top of that,

you turn your cost started a new project, electricity mobility among the root community. he has already 5 electric vehicles because running in court in the near future, he wants to expand his p n. c model to zambia, but china and south africa and even federal way to speed in the united kingdom. that's quite a project. you can get much more circular and sustainable than that. i'm afraid we've come to the end of the special edition of echo africa also. tenable alternatives. we hope you enjoyed the program and we'll come back again next week. i'm crystal, i'm signing though, from lagos, nigeria, and it is also a good buy for me, sandra, co homes, that we, nobody will write you an income plot. glenda. don't forget, you can always check in with us with us social media channels. why not send us an

e mail on tell us about the different projects in your area dedicated to protecting the environment. we look forward to hearing from you very soon. see you next time, bye, or the the

d, w. imagine how many portion of lots of turn out in the world climate change in storage space is much less the way from just one a week. how much less can it really get? we still have time to act. i'm going to like this. it's a race against time soon, so it is very sick that she could time is she must wait months in assess and to to, to $300.00 things that will change her mind. find in the culture this weekend, you imagine that you're eating

a hamburger and as you're biting into this juicy bird or your dining companion says to you, actually that hamburger is not made from cows. it's made from golden retriever's. 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 in meeting cultures around the world, people learn to classify small handful of animals with edible and all the rest of the classify as disgusting. the w series about our complex relationship with them and also need to be watching now on youtube. d. w documentary, the,
