suzy evans, that's impossible, over there. now, all you get these people that do the job for a living and these just what and my impression after this trip. suddenly there are still many and all dania were crazy about the german cars. but more and more people are turning away from them and looking for alternatives and cheapest solutions. and so the image on albanian rhodes that has been shaped by mosquitoes until now is likely to change to africa this up from the cleaners also with an issue and we are also a citizen. so how can we contribute to preventing i'm raising awareness about environmental destruction, along with many of these is tackling plastic trash. next

on the dw, and he said go to this special hot spots in germany, 0 dw, travel extremely worth a bit, the what do what the heat is, wish to water and shipping containers. i've been coming. unlikely as it sounds, the old off of brilliant and efficient ways to change our lives for the better will come to eco africa. i am christa lens, illegals nigeria. and i am sandra to homes that we, nobody will ride to and come pull out. you've done to yes, today we are looking into some very original ideas that have to put,

say should to benefit people and the planet. they might really, really surprise you. here is what we have coming up in the jury. yet another soul, food walking towards tennessee, posts hillsound climates, trees in liquid form, cleaning the air on the street as a stylish, affordable housing infinity in kenya. the fuss to look into fossil walden as a well known thing is on active often role models for the rest of us. we really come on to estimate how much they influence us and the choices we actually make, especially the younger generations. so when they actually use the platforms to reach people and promote a good goals, they can really bring about change the

the venue is parked and this message is clear, protect a y environment. plastic pollution feature is be getting, he's performance update is a big name in the book and the 1st one is a musician. he's well aware of what he sees and does carries wait. i suppose, i guess it was t. i think we are asking, oh, it sounds also a citizen, something along. how can we contribute to preventing and raising awareness about environmental destruction, to one of the visiting these problems that said, the guy, what someone role, that's where we sit, he that can also be used as a means of communication to bring about a change in behavior. sounds monday conducted on sundays the found of the association. what god which uses item called child is

a tool to raise awareness of social and environmental issues. in these walk shop, we meant including a train to a local politician and then ok to landing about the damaging effects of plastic trust and what can be done the following. they have been trained in how to communicate this message to others through road plate and storytelling. and then not before got to go, maria and the paul go. he's one of the women trained by what got as an environmental. i'm about send them. she buys with the plastic bucks collected by local women. many have flat data, allow me to meet them inside, you know, seem to not. this is often the only way of funding that meeting money from the a families, maria and a who is a feeling ok to also funds about $150.00 euros a month by selling the bucks to a recycling company. how much is doing with the rest? so i want to fit in by 2 things. the 1st is to keep the environment clean. and the

2nd thing i, i'll include from time to time i buy from them and sell them on. you probably random apple in book enough for us. so people mostly use single use plastic bags. that's when of them both of the comes in by moon. that's what double has a smaller walk shopping. look, i do go where she saws bugs from, walks print fabric something to and what got one to promote these alternatives to plastic, then fish munger. i said the dog. oh, so the bags. she's not about what got on bus and the to many people, the price of $1000.00 friends, but equivalent of one euro and $0.50 is quite high. but i said, are found a way of convincing how customers perceive it wasn't easy at 1st. but now that we've been understand from the plastic bugs that are

a serious problem, it's not good when you use them. i don't think i'm go so many enestus like guns. so the women come on by the bags. i let them paid uninstalled magnetic 100 francs to have good friends. they could buy the 2. so it's paid off in the end of 10 days. also octave offstage seems 2021. he's been visiting schools today. he's in a school in the village of whom the lot the stuff will go do. ready without sound good, the natural code team or paul goal, he's also want to see some positive he lives outside possible in 4 months. so you talk about children not quite capable of blessing. one information on austin when you teach a child or something, they go whole months, so you've got the money. we learn something today that the just so you not to do that, but mother often lands back wait. the other part and so will come to the school to ask us questions. they said that you didn't have told them not to do these all

about. and so they ask us if it's to ask yourself with, meanwhile, is updates be picking up the lead time the school year with the children, all the elements of the project. i'm important to him. but he sees working with children is the most important of old decisions before one tomorrow to be bad, children at the better of 2 models id. unfortunately, children not home to during the future. and then he gets otc to spend tons of the school year into a concert venue with a new song that's about plastic bags the she can do a lot in the fight against climate change. they are a natural ad clean is on. we need to plant as many as possible, but that's not always easy in overcrowded cities. west space is in short supply. we

come across a solution to these problems inside the something that solves the same purpose of the tree, even if it's not quite as nice to look at the it has no leaves branches or rigs. but you could say this is a tree liquid tree. if you like, the 600 liter water tank in belgrade city center contains micro l. d and is a photo bio reactive. the all the photos synthesize. just like any reg in a trio plant. they absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. and they purify the from home full particles, the brain behind the id, or is by a physicist event special you, these 2 stresses that it's not intended to replace real trees. but of course, the mississippi, the liquid 3 is designed to target areas where you comp, phone to a normal tree, for example, where we standing now,

we already have 2 trees. you couldn't plant a 3rd one between them because the kind of piece would overlap and it wouldn't be able to grow. one of the last fall grade is home to fines of the 16 most polluted districts in europe. and so it'd be or is one of the most polluted countries on the continent. liquid trees could help improve the quality that quick to set top and required little maintenance. a solar panel is included to making the bell grade liquid tree. multi functional aspect purifies the every become screener. the 1st time i saw this, it was still turquoise and i thought it was some aquarium installation. i think it's great, so that's a place to say to in charge of food off way between my house and the city center if it could really help beautified yeah. and recognize the pollution we have here. then i think it's a great innovation. i liked that there were alternative solutions to perform. i

lost the same and as if that wasn't enough, demand behind the award winning project stresses something else he wants to achieve . ready the percent when our goal is to send a message that it seems to be fine, so back to open air quality, the protection, the environment is important that i think liquid 3 sends the message. what if we started the an interesting solution and it could make all the difference in crowded other areas along with air pollution. another big challenge that people love of the world as facing is what the shortages, the increasing frequency of droughts poses a threat to thinking what's the supplies. we've also come across on innovative solutions to this problem. how would you feel about drinking of lots of recycled sewage? a company jenny,

is use is some sophisticated technology to turn waste water is one of the counselors most popular drinks from this to this in a world where every drop counts. a german company is turning sewage water into something drinkable, a b, a move in 5000 via brands exist in germany. but the reuse b a is the only one made from recycled water. the misplacing site sign for this. so it just goes to show that if you take the right meshes, you can really reuse what you discharge to produce a high quality b. i use that quality b a is produced according to the gym and purity know an attitude in the 1516 which restricts the ingredients that make up via to water moats hopes and east this thousands of different gym and b is made from just those 4 ingredients. are enjoyed by people all over the world,

but climate change is impacting the production of young people. we deal with climate change in terms of rule materials because we have a rule material process. that means there's an incredible amount of research and to helps this research into melting bonnie varieties because the qualities of the real materials are also changing due to climate change. rising temperatures also mean the water. the main ingredients is getting scared. but waste water is increasingly being seen as a result. so now globally 80 percent of all wastewater produced is discharged into the environment without any treatment you have your home with currently experiencing frequent water shortages due to climate change. and we also see this in germany where we have periods of grounds where we have periods, seasonal, regional, where we already have restrictions on consumption. and one way to counteract this is to reuse, treated wasteful, attempting to be able to decide to be the good. i'm the waste once it goes through different purification stages before it's considered safe to breathe. this intense

process makes the most a clean a by when moving on in organic celts by an exchange. then the brewing process continues normally resulting in the reuse the because it's delicious, you didn't realize that it's waste. water is really good, really good, smiled and taste. great. so what was on it surprisingly good i'm, we're doing something for the environment. we're reusing more to and i don't notice any difference to normal being minds you met agency me is, might need time to get used to the concepts that so now the high costs associated with the water treatment process remains the biggest challenge in, during global adoption of the technology, i'm not sure that's something i want to try, but it's definitely aspiring about the technology. now it's time to head back to africa. our next report brings us right here tonight. the area when it comes to talk, clean, the ever growing mounting. so plastic pollution, sometimes we just need to take a step back. i'm find and says,

right in front of us this is little religious ceremony, but you would call it a formal from there to watch. it is a publicity event for flemish protection organized by on these vision and your, the ones people to use these large, highly profitable leads instead of lester and my, that is the way it is related to biodiversity. i see strategy projects mean in the cost of its kind. elaine cbs m, i the group launch the planned to nor plastic project in 2015 enough to witnessing how single use plastic folder it's wanted southwest and they do. yeah. you know, it's a, is to encourage communities to replace plastic wrapping with the robust bloss leaves of the cut them fair or medical fruit plant, also known by each letting them tow motto, coal cause the nearly or wait, send data from us, it would, i'd gotten to have villages with got them together. i would say don't want to plan

to not come out to because i nearly dimensions and types of i will need to practice is to ensure that the list of websites that this was because of i'm not saying that well, no choice to do much already to onto farm beautiful food plants, a mainly cultivated by women in ca, call plantations as a form of federal forestry. the plants of thrive into soil beneath the trees and the leaves going to be harvested every 3 months or in the mall. i manual is taking part in the trust initiative together with other women. she's learning how to properly rep food here in the world in the state office. and she started 2 weeks ago today. she and her colleagues. so preparing being kicks as it is. yeah. so cool, this is the reason why i'm learning how to rep being taught with leave is to understand the technique of how to read and leave a lot of ideas with this, i can start filling wrapped food in order to earn an income. what i want,

i don't know, just for the long sleeves from the farm to local markets, can be quite a challenge to buy as both private individuals and food vendors. we use them as rugs a bunch of 10 to 12 leaves kind of close upwards of 208 or they prevail into for around 12 utah sense. but, so i still fuzz by as micro credit financing to encourage take up. image area. straightforward is often cooked and dropped in plastic pots, but customize overwhelmingly agreed that the food tests a bit wrapped in the leaves. and then of course, there are the huge environmental advantages. according to the you and the jury produces around 2500000 tons of plastic every year, making it the 9th was plastic polluter in the was presently waste is a problem for the environment, then leave on this or is about the great table that the stiff can easily be

decompose. so it's cool. this is seth from the viral meet on like and for the a mice poor dog like 9 long by plastic. that's the india environment for a number of years. since the leisure and government to pose a bond on a single use plastics in january 2024. the reason not the good reason to use the leads it is a chance to turn back the clock and return to a lease with a long tradition here. when you say a 55 fuel, the miracle plant lease is very important here in southwest interior because of its health benefit, which it will. yeah. so you will need to go using the will around the watch has been around since that time and the more not fun really on the medical experts have also told us that using testing to that comes with cultural goodness. and to can somebody to see what model or in depth i'll call yet all that kind of stuff. the

reason that these healthy sustainable resource can be useful more than just scrubbing fluids with needs in that scene that can fabricate this me into sleep. i mean to call so that's instead of using the sleep, which is a plastic plastic needs, a plastic kind of completes to eats you happy bits, our tendency, a better option to use a nice, well needs and shape for you to eat the hip hop to raise awareness of the benefits of these natural substitutes and make the key contribution to with using plastic waste. a really simple and effective solution, better for the environment and how the for else do all the small changes, add up like the fuel we use. we can to many water heaters around on fluffy,

feels while they're od green alternatives, and they can really be practical to. we're heading out to egypt to find out more. mohammed zacky, my blue feet is looking forward to the solar water heater tank that's being installed on his roof. his family will now have a direct source of hot water and a method of out. so i didn't think twice when the company approached me. and i told them yes, they could come and install the heat to have to i'm gonna have it for me. so i think it will benefit me under those 2 sided pull. let him see it until now. his family has used beauty whenever they need to heat water on the kitchen stove. but the gas stoves aren't bad for indoor air quality. and the gas cylinders aren't even cheap as the retiree knows. what you see to who is about to go out

in the winter. each family needs around one old one and a house guy still in the city. they should in some uh, we can see more around 4 times a month. the guy. what about the new or the home? so this can cost somewhere between 10 and 15 years. mm hm. yep. i'm thinking that i don't want them getting so the new heater will stay mohammed the flow for a fair amount of money. it's being installed for free, as the heaters are sponsored by sham sienna, a startup that manufacturers affordable solar technologies. it's found are sort of mussa, wants to help low income families. and she also recognizes that if they stop using few teams, there will be a significant reduction in c o. 2 emissions. we cut emissions by 5 kilograms every month and the sounds really small on one household. but if we multiply that vigor, month after months and by across millions of households, then we have a tangible event on the c o 2 emissions. but experts say that because each of

cities are so densely populated, it won't be possible to instill many of the solar water heaters, sunroof tops, po, extra fee. then. so that was the heat is, will not be able to obtain a significant market share in egypt. and you can test us, they can make up no more than 30 percent of the market to yeah. well the thing is federal. they can't save a lot of energy. oh, great the would you c o 2 emissions and back of the company. however, the heaters are a viable solution and rural areas. he says, some scene of finance is the subsidized solar water heater, through donations and through sales to businesses and hotels. we use proceeds from these consumers in order to fund solar water heaters for our lower income households. situations are being hard hit by high gas prices for mohammad zaki, mcgrooves family, and many others chum,

seen as environmentally friendly solar solution comes at exactly the right time. are in lots of places, living costs are rockets and so being able to seats for less and those are costs. emissions is a win win situation. but what about the cost of housing itself? that's rising in many places to shelly dimples. be some creative solutions out there. that's exactly what we are looking at, you know, and next report, hope you have a one did what happens to all those retired shipping containers that bring goods into the country? so this is a 20 foot container, it's a little cube, contain that you can see it from this day mention it was 1 o'clock to in 2000 to meet. so this is about 6716 years old, africa's population is growing, and urbanized ation is on the right. in kenya,

a loan more than 250000 new homes are needed each year recycled shipping containers could help solve the housing problem and provide an alternative to building materials that secure high environmental tools such as concrete en, route, and number of companies are now exploring the potential risk danville buys the commission, shipping containers and repurchases done after collecting no books. this 11, but so we move them to a previous which is wherever you're sitting. that's right now in a ruby, when our client has a needs, they come make us elections, then reformulate tough with the design and they can make the deposits. we start to construction, it's a low cost option compared to a house of bricks and mortar contain uh homes as a solution has a number of groups of clients, a young couple to us, just thinking of homeownership. then we have people who are least piece of land,

people who have not yet been able to buy that one's faces. containers have long been used as temporary housing solutions in many parts of the world, but increasing. they're also being split. it helps to service us permit and tells the average life span of shipping container east 12 to 25 years. as homes become be useful. another 25 years old. me. what if they're going to last proper maintenance, excuse biggest maintainance that you can do it with containers, especially if you've not flooded the extra. yeah, it would be just creeping soft off your yes you'd want to spray paint and just take care of there. i just in case you have any that is coming up, the affordability and flexibility of some of the main advantages of the container homes unfold. many bias the speed with which the can be refurbished is another plus

i didn't have time to do the technician on the house of leave dia for the past 4 years now since didn't return to these bed distributor default in the sofa. so if that might be living space advice, anybody who wants to have something by piece to protect you 10, but the containers do have really retention key factors to take into account, especially in a climate such as kenya's of ventilation on installation. this is a walk in progress, it's a 40 foot container that is supposed to be in office. eventually what you've already done. we've insulated the was before this give some insulation is a styrofoam information. we also use it all coiling submission in some instances. more for then electrical, ready, and treated, the aluminium windows plus the smart

design, these crucial phase grease damsels to ensure the structure is stable. that heat is a free, typically disappointed and the maximum, like finding ways to convert containers into housing options is still a work in progress. which one with potential that look surprisingly causey. i can see that idea really taking goals. that's it from off base week, i am sandra holmes, that we know we do. and it is a good bike from me, right to income plot. you kinda and i am chris fellows in nigeria. thanks for joining us. don't forget to head to eco off or go online for moist byron stories. i think there's anything you want to share with us. drop off a line of eco dw dot com. see you again next week. the
