are all set with what seemed closely for him to bring use a story behind the news. we ruled about unbiased information for 3 months. the what do what the, he does wish to water and shipping content is i've been coming. unlikely as it sounds, the old, off of brilliant and efficient ways to change our lives for the better. welcome to eco africa. i am christa lens, illegals, nigeria, and i m son, drug, the homes, the 3 no video right to come pull out uganda. yes. today we are looking into some

very original ideas that have the put, say should to benefit people and the planets they might really, really surprise you. here is what we have coming up in the jury. yet another soul, food is 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 features be given, 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. once that gets it was done, we are asking ourselves also of citizens of the world. 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 got which uses item cultures

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 i start lining about the damaging effects of plastic trash and what can be done the following. they have been trained in how to communicate this message to others through role play 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 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 for their families, maria and a who is a feeling. ok, that also funds about $150.00 euros a month by selling the bucks to a recycling company. how much is doing with the buy? so what's a good to buy 2 things. the 1st is to keep the environment clean. um 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 my moon, that's what they'll go. has a small the walk shopping. look, i do go where she saws bugs from, walks print fabric is up to and what got one to promote these alternatives to plastic then fish among i said, the dog. oh, so the bags, she's not about what got ambassador to many people. the price of $1000.00 friends, that equivalent of one euro and $0.50 is quite high. but i said, i found a way of convincing our customers perceive it wasn't easy at 1st, but now that we've been on the stand for 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 pay me installed, magnetic and 100 friends to have good friends. they could buy anything. so it's paid off in the end up in face the sub days. also octave off stage scenes 2021. he's been visiting schools today. he's in a school in the village of whom the lot the stuff will go to. ready the natural code team, a paul goal. he's also one of the some boss, a desk he lives outside possible in 4 months. so you talk about children not quite capable of busting. one information on austin. when you teach a child or something, they go home and say you got the money, we learn something today that he just said not to do that. but mother often lands back, wait. the other pardons, who come to the school to ask us questions? they said we had tubes and i've told them not to do these all about. and so they

ask us if it's true as that as case of what it. meanwhile, is updates be picking up the lead time the school year with the children, all the elements of the project i important to him, but he sees working with children is the most important awful decision before one tomorrow to be better, children, not the better of tomorrow's ideas and the children the hope to turn out the future love. and then he gets ot skita and tons of the school year into a concert venue with the new song that's about plastic bags the she can do a lot in the fight against climate change. they are a natural as clean as on. we need to plant as many as possible, but that's not always easy in overcrowded cities. west face is in short supply with

chemicals, 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 rings. 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 as a photo, bio reactive the, i'll get you started to synthesize just like any reagan, a tree or plant. they absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. and they purify the from home full particles, the brain behind the id and is by a physicist event special. you that you 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 plan to 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 bell grade is home to find the 15 most polluted districts in europe. and sylvia 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 gray liquid tree multi functional. as the type purifies the ever it becomes green. 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 can really help you reside. yeah. and regulate the pollution we have here. then i think it's a great innovation. i liked that there were alternative solutions and my last thing

that i found as if that wasn't enough, the mind behind the award winning project stresses something else he wants to achieve. ready one of the goal is to send a message that it seems to be fine. so back to open air quality, the protecting the environment is important that i think liquid 3 sends the message . what if we saw the names trusting solution and it could make all the difference in it crowded up in 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 a loss of recycled sewage?

a company jenny, is using some sophisticated technology to turn waste water is a, one of the accounts is most popular drinks from this to this in a world where every drop counts a german company is tending sewage water into something drinkable, a, b, a more than 5000 via brands exist in germany, but the we use b a is the only one made from recycled water di misplaced inside science. but the 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 and acted 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 men. we deal with climate change in terms of rule materials because we're, we're rule material processes. that means there's an incredible amount of research into helps. there's research into melting bonnie varieties because the qualities that the role materials are also changing due to climate change. rising temperatures also mean that water the main ingredients is getting sketched, but waste towards the 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 visit the site to be the one that i'm of the waste, which it goes through different purification stages before it's considered safe to

breathe. this intense process makes the water clean by moving own in organic cells by an exchange. then the brewing process continues normally resulting in the reuse the look. oh, it's delicious. you didn't realize that it's wasted. water is really good. really good. it's mild and taste great. no one was on, it's surprising the good i'm, we're doing something for the environment we re using 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, injuring 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 on next report. bring. so as of right here tonight, the area when it comes to talk clean the ever growing mountain. so plastic pollution, sometimes we just need to take a step back. i'm fine 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 pleasure as protection organized by on a vision and your the ones people to do these large, highly profitable leads instead of lusting and my that is doing it is related to biodiversity prices throughout the projects. many of the costs of its kind in line to get them. i did the launch the plant nor plastic project in the 2015 enough to witnessing how single use plastics. it's one to the southwest and they do. yeah. you know it's a is to encourage communities to replace plastic corrupting with the robust bloss leaves of the cut them fed or medical fruit plant also known. but it's letting them toma to cool cause the nearly or wait when data from us in the villages. we've

got them to get up with the planting of come out to because the nearly dimensional and types of i will need to practice is to ensure that the list of flip long distance was because of an ident. well, no choice to do much already to onto far beautiful food plants, a mainly cultivated by women in ca, call plantations as a form of federal forestry. the plants of thrive in the soil beneath the trees and the leaves can be harvested every 3 months or in the moonlight, manually as taking part in the trust initiative together with other women. she's learning how to properly rep for here in the world, in the state of a sudden she started 2 weeks ago today she and her colleagues. so preparing being kicks as it is. yeah. you know cool. that's yeah. the reason why i'm learning how to rep, being like 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. so supporting the middle of the lunch leaves from the farm to local markets can be quite a challenge to buy as of both private individuals and food vendors. we use them as rugs a bunch of 10 to 12 leaves going to close upwards of 290 or they prevail into for around 12 to euro. since the trust offers, by as micro credit financing to encourage pick up in the area, straightforward is often cooked and dropped in plastic pots with customized 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 $2500000.00 tons of plastic every year, making it the 9th was plastic polluter in the was presently waste. the problem for the environment then leave on the score is about the green

cable that the skiff can easily be decomposed. so it's cool. this is seth from the viral meet on like a me and fully a mice per adult like 9 loan by plastic that stays in the environment for a number of years. since the leisure and government imposed upon 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. where 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 lease will around the watch has been around since that time in the morning i've done really on the medical experts have also told us that using testing to that comes with cultural goodness and the can somebody say boma all in depth,

i'll call yet all that kind of stuff. the reason that these healthy sustainable resource can be useful more than just dropping fluids with needs in that scene that can fabricate this me into sleep. i mean to call. so that's instead of using the slates, which is a plastic plastic needs, a plastic kind of on plates to eat. you happy without nancy a better option to use a nice, well needs and shape for you to eat. the groups help to raise awareness of the benefits of these natural substitutes and make a key contribution to with using plastic waste. a really simple and effective solution back to for the environment and how the 4 rolls do. all the small changes add up like the fuel we use. we can too many water heaters around on

false appeals, whatever. od green alternatives, and they can really be practical to. we're heading out to egypt to find out more. a 100 zaki, 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 got a 100 and think twice when the company approach me and i told them yes, they could come and install the heater at the on the other thing. 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 are bad for indoor air quality. and the gas cylinders are 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 this. fish it in some uh we can see more around 4 times a month the, the guy that have the new or the home soon. 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 my flu. 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 founder side 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 figure, month after months and buy across millions of households, then we have a tangible dance 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 on rooftops, the extra fee then. so that was the heat as 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 failure. snaffle, they can save a lot of energy or greatly reduce c o. 2 emissions in back of the company. however, the heaters are a viable solution and rural areas. he says, some seen of finance is the subsidized solar water here, 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. magicians are being hard hit by high gas prices for mohammad zaki, mcgrooves family, and many others champ,

seen as environmentally friendly solar solution. compet exactly the right time in, in lots of places live in cost of rockets. and so being able to teach 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 out. 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 now you can see it from this. they mention it to a lot of luck to in to 1000, to meet. so this is about 6716 years old, africa's population is growing and urbanized asia and he's 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 and route . and number of companies are now exploring the potential risk danville buys the commission, shipping containers and re purposes then after collecting of books is from one bus . so we move them to a previous which is where we are sitting. that's right now in a ruby, when a client has a needs they come make us elections, then reformulate tough with a design and they can make the deposits. we start 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 nice 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 are also being split to accounts, to service us permit and tells us the average life span of the shipping container age 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 you. yes. you'd want to spray painting 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. so i just didn't attend to these bed distributor, default and sofa. so if that might be living space advice, anybody who wants to have something by piece to to take attendance. but the containers do have to the retention key factors to take into account, especially in a climate such as kenya's, a ventilation, an 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 integrated the walls before this dip some insulation is a styrofoam installation. we also use it all clean submission in some instances mode for then electrical writing and treated the aluminium windows. plus the

smart design is crucial safe grease damsels to ensure the structure is stable. that heat is efficiently dissipated. 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 this week, i am sandra holmes, that we know video, and it is a good flight for me right yet in counselor. you kinda and i am chris fellows in nigeria. thanks for joining us to get to head to eco africa 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
