the numbers you so much for your technical church. 3 generations. one, jenny dobbs july 7th on dw, the what? the, what the heat is, wish to water and shipping containers. i've been coming. unlikely as it sounds, they all off of brilliant and efficient ways the change lives for the better. welcome to eco africa. i am christa lens, illegals nigeria. and i am some drug of homes that nobody will ride to and come pull out uganda. yes, today we are looking into some very original ideas that have the potential to benefit people and the plan that 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 cause they can really bring about change the

the venue is parked and this message is clear. product away environment. plastic pollution features 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 he, i think we are asking or sounds also a citizen, some of the one. 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 men including a train down a local police station and then on start lining 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 go do go, maria and the paul go. he's one of the women joined 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 to also funds about $150.00 euros a month by selling the bucks to a recycling company. much is doing with the russell. i want to fit in by 2 things. the 1st is to keep the environment clean. um the 2nd thing i need to 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 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 mancha. i said the dog oh, so the bags, she's not about what got ambassador 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 illness,

dislike 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 the natural code team or paul goal. he's also one of the some box 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 they just say 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 true 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 of all since you've had one tomorrow to be the children are the better of 2 models, ideas and the children the whole to doing that, the future love 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 as clean is on. we need to plant as many as possible, but that's not always easy in overcrowded cities. west face is in short supply. we 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 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 old e spoke to synthesize just like any making a tree or 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, events special you, that you stresses that it's not intended to replace real trees. but of course, the liquid 3 is designed to target areas where you come from 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 last fall grade is home to find depth of 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 gray liquid tree multi functional aspect purifies the every become screen of the 1st time i so 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, like for the program, if it can really help beautify the and regulate the pollution we have here. then i think it's a great innovation. i liked that there were alternative solutions and

as if that wasn't enough, demand behind the award winning project stresses something else he wants to achieve . ready when the goal is to send a message that it seems to be fine, so back to open air quality, the protection, the environment is important. i think liquid 3 sends the message. what if we saw the an interesting solution and it could make all the difference in it. 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 drought 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 using 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, be a move in $5000.00 b brands exist in germany, but the reuse b a is the only one made from recycled water di 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 via is produced according to the gym and purity know an attitude in the 1516 which restricts the ingredients that may come back to water molds. hopes on 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 into helps. there's research into melting bonnie varieties because the qualities of the real materials are also changing due to climate change. the rising temperatures also mean the water, the main ingredients is getting sketched, 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, sure, which is 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 waste water. we go for 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 worst a clean a by when moving own in organic celts by an exchange. then the brewing process

continues normally resulting in the reuse the look. oh, i don't know if it's delicious. you didn't realize that it's waste. water is really good. really good, smiled and taste. great. no one 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 on here. many can seem is, might need time to get used to the concept 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 a digging into your the wants people to use these large, highly profitable leads instead of less and more. that is the way it is related to biodiversity. prices flat the projects, many of the costs of its kind and cbs them. i did the launch the plant, no plastic project in 2015 enough to with this thing. how single use plastic folder . i just want southwest and they do. yeah. you know, it's a, is to encourage community is to replace plastic wrapping with the robust bloss leaves of the cut on fat or miracles. fruit plant, also known by its letting them tomato coal cause the nearly or wait. same data from us in the villages. we've got them together. i would say that one 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 up width and depth as best because of i'm not saying that well, no choice to do my choice. onto farm beautiful food plants, i'm mainly cultivated by women in ca, call plantations as a form of federal forestry plants of thrive into soil beneath the trees and the leaves going to be harvested every 3 months or in the mall. i manually is taking part in the trust initiative together with other women. she's learning how to properly rep for here in the world. instead of a sudden 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 product 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 foot 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 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 dairy producers 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, the score is about the grid cable that the skiff can easily be decomposed. so it's cool. this is seth from the viral meet on like and for the

a mice pulled off like 9 long by plastic. that's the india, a viral main for a number of years since the nigerian government to pose a bond on a single use plastics in january 2020 full. 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. it way you see if i thought you the miracle plant lease is very important here in southwest interior because of its health benefit, which it well yeah. so you will need to go using the lease the route. so watch has been around since time in the morning. i've done really on the medical experts have also told us that using testing to that comes with progressive goodness, the and the can somebody to say palma, all in depth, i'll call you all back kind of stuff. the reason that these healthy sustainable

resource can be useful more than just trusting fluids when needs in met, seen that kind of fabricated this me into slits, i mean to call so that instead of using the slits, which is a plastic plastic needs, a plastic kind of completes, to eats, you have a bits our tendency of bits of shown to use or leave, 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 it using plastic waste. a really simple and effective solution, better for the environment and how the for all suit, 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. mohammed 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 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 home, one and a half got feeling this,

they should in some, uh we can see more around 4 times a month. is that what about the new or the home so this can cost somewhere between $10.15. your own me just a minute. i'm thinking that i don't want to get it. 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. so you know, 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 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 to. yeah. well the thing is apple, if they can't save a lot of energy, oh, greatly reduce c o 2 emissions in 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 funds solar water heaters for our lower income households. midship sions 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 in. in lots of places, living costs are 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 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 change of food contain a, it's a little cube, contain, or you can see it from this, they mention it was minus luck should 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 took your high environmental tools such as concrete and route and number of companies and now exploring the potential risk danville, vice the commission shipping containers and repurchases. then after collecting all boxes from one bus so we move them to a previous which is wherever you're sitting. that's right now in a ruby, when a 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 container 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, both increasing. they are also being switched to accounts to service us permanent. how's the average life span of the shipping container is? 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 the rest in case you have any that is coming up. affordability inflexibility. 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. seems to 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 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 insulated the walls before this dip some insulation is a styrofoam information. we also use it all quite in 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 dissipated and the maximum like finding ways to convert containers into housing options is still a work in progress which one with potential but look surprisingly, kazi, i can see that idea really taking goals. that's it. from off base week i am sandra holmes, that we know do, and it is a good flight for me right yet in come pull out. you kinda and i am chris fellows in nigeria. thanks for joining us. don't forget 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
