the just education makes the world to make up your own mind. late for mines, the modern technology is part of our everyday lives. you'll probably usually need right now to watch this show. today we're going to see how technology can help us and environments and how it work. it would make you kind of improved for a while lives where it has so much to offer curriculum. so lagos, nigeria, welcome to ico. offrey got caught in the video, but bundles is set, a goal take to social media as
4:31 pm
a whole lot more amazing. also nigeria. but what a vibrated populates can be done and adopt into the drugs k f almost straight calls for condos in the cause of our research for eco africa. it's hard for me to meet so many people working hard to solve problems. so barrels of building stuff biddable, but this is the process such as in the garden uh with a climate innovation center is acting as a kind of incubator for green stock tops. where ring at least 5 appeal mays on inspiring as they look. these plans implants, ways of being used to grow, flourish in business. he lives in close up to 5 appeal is thrown out every day, their routes, vegetable, east of poplar, food in gonna
4:32 pm
a lot more cool. and even is that cool? decided all this vegetable waste was with the risk you in the last 10 years. you have run a business specialized in growing oyster mushrooms. the code division process uses as of course, ro waste some of which would otherwise be banned in the fields. nothing is coming a community i realize most of them is on top of the and it's a ways to dispose of the course of with, with us or they do. it's been the phone lines. we put the line for the next time uses in when they do that it's cost and risk related diseases and lump cancer and even damaged toward life. and i realize because actually use of course, always to do something beneficial. not just only that. it's why individual betsy was put on our table and then with income. that's why i choose this now business
4:33 pm
and from a leave yet you also profits from that vision is seduce, mainly based on who to heck days. misquote. the vision produces a lot of agriculture are arrested you, what they play, and the business came to a community where i no longer been my farmland, like i always had to go nowadays. i gather the waste from my farm and sell it to the last year on company in the village of hawk from paying us that i waste. and they sometimes gave us the organic compost from the factory of to production. so we kind of use it as specialize around the farm and don't need to spray chemicals. i g g, a library or is up renee, quantity williams. that's it. a company the manufacturers products from the maureen guthrie. its leaves on team importance puts in in front of our seats as well as a wide range of white domains in monroe's, a graduate of mit,
4:34 pm
in the ways william funded, he's that top 10 years ago, making powders juices and creams. but he says interpreter is in ghana fees, a lot of challenges. we have had situations where, you know, we're trying to get a local certification and we need all the requirements. everything has even been done. there's a letter saying is approved and it takes 14 months, not an exaggeration, 14 months to get the actual physical certificate. elaine c process, that means that the lease and the products reaching the market. that's granted. williams built up inexpensive, and it's week of maureen, a pharmacist in the region around as a boy farm is having always seen lorinda as a profitable plant in the ones that much amount the width with the company. the real glad customers for the refresh leaves suited for processing in the last 10
4:35 pm
years farm is. i've also planted around 2000000 more of these miracle trees from seeds. the harvest is sticking from the phones to a factory area, so i'm $56.00 low. make this away from gun is cut, stomach try yet, the leaves i tried, processed and packaged. also for x boards. we believe that was groaning done. i should also be processing done, so we do all the primary processing of our products savings on here right here in gardner leaves. fresh leaves and dry leaves and powders and teams right here and on it. so that way we're creating jobs and i'm happy to share that we've now we not employed nearly 90 people across out about the change of assess the number of businesses like he's to receive support from the ghana clements innovation st. that it offers red blood trainings and also carpet tiles. first, the tops will provide you with the business advisor and how works one to one with you and your team members to the business advisor works with you on such and
4:36 pm
related activities, right, to it, to bring about operational efficiency. but also to ensure that you know, your minimize your call and footprint like the mushroom groceries we, that's a part of the nutrition center they used exclusively, locally solid materials for the factory. production is also low emission quality to compose beneficial, double waste is needed for their mushroom spoils. the mushrooms are ready to have missed after in mind the money, so he was generally able to miss just the cause of that the month that's uh, customers i knew for every day the company sells around 1000 kilograms of buy some mushrooms and ma, this, that tops welcome, this depot planes is sold to the farm is so both in technology calibree how farm is in the fields. i can also help with selling the produce is some of the right number 5 as i turned into the social media to retail
4:37 pm
to new customers in the seat is now these ad brigham flies does get to boost that income. them not to other farmers and have fun. see don't. i'm faxing it to my main shoots. his latest clinic for his thousands of follow is on tech, talk about them. and this is popularity online has grown. so have has sales. if you do, i was just making the videos for fun and i didn't even know the impact. social media was having them. yeah. most likely i've had a lots of clients with, especially from europe or even from a distance. i do see what i'm doing a my may is among a new crop of some is revolutionizing synagogues, agricultural sick to using social media. it allows him to bypass costly middleman and negotiate directly with customers,
4:38 pm
cutting costs and providing that personal touch magic. but if it, if i prefer to make my own video, cuz you don't have to pay to do it. so the 5th on what do you do? you are marketing. so you get out what's in selling g. right. gets out what you've been working on that be able to present that to say for me if it was much more natural and people are much more receptive to it and gaming, even if it doesn't have the quality, even if it doesn't have the image, all the sounds that people like what's natural, you show what you've already done without editing, i'm up or doing anything. the more that's not fair yet. some of these so called ed grow influences have now set up their own consultancies. no guy is one of them, was she? she is videos and self is online, offering tips on how to grow and have a crops and manage funding projects. so i started using social networks in september when i set up a been a agribusiness. it's about getting more visibility and finding people in general.
4:39 pm
the customers i work with, i find on social networks, they contact me directly on instagram. so i give them my number and then i visit their fields and those, and now i help them with production. current lease in a goals agricultural sector makes up only a small proportion of the countries ged pay, but it's new government wants to cut imports and a cheap food sovereignty in the near future. offering fairchild ground for this new generation of tech savvy farm is to thrive and grow as follows. are used to working with nature. but those are for those who leave and cities of will find ourselves far removed from by the nature many cities don't even have much of greenery or trees that leads to pull a quality. rising temperature pushes out wildlife. with more and more people move into cities around the weld face need to change what, how we cross the gym be now for some possible ideas. concrete.
4:40 pm
every last gray has replaced green. we constantly building more higher foster concrete production is responsible for around 8 percent of c o. 2 emissions worldwide. and impressions of a full send us way using a dwindling results, namely signed and various other fossil results is that we can't use forever. we have to think about how we can build most sustainably on the cro. we absolutely need more greenery and also cheese because they are overheating quite some villages validate us as a cool. if you think about it architecture and nature, diametrically opposed, we built primarily to protect ourselves from wild life or the weather for example. so not being able to go to ways destroying nature in some way. when we built with us, it was just the, you know, that's with us for them to develop. but what if we went to a, with nature, you know, building rather than against. ready an exhibition in berlin,
4:41 pm
new showcasing projects that seek to do just that. how do trees grow together to form a structure? this question has fascinated architect feds and that includes big for 20. he wants to connect buildings with trees and is constructing a kind of tree house in the city. ready across from the corporate, so you have to work a lot with others. that's it's interdisciplinary. i'll tell you what his botanists, forestry, scientists, civil engineers, ecologist, we'll work together to pull on knowledge from different disciplines. so it can be used in the design in process. i'm going to play live project into southern germany shows which i'm building made of trees could look like. after 12 years. the plane tree team is i've at 10 meters high, a taller than the neighboring, tend to go. the children use the shady space inside to play, otherwise it's home to insects and that the, the troops of the young plane trees of branch towns in grand together. the
4:42 pm
architects checked the gross regularly, plain trays, mccloud, take them on all 6 levels at the same time, each in its own sounds of dogs. they say appealing to your risk that the plane trees outside of that plant is an inch connected with the plane trees. the rounded off and from the then screwed together to i'm glad to the grubbing to one unit then they can remove the boxes. ready they prompted more than 1000 plane trees because like with many of and trees, some of the seedlings died from disease or frost. in the years to come, the tree tops will grow together to full memory. a quick option might be phone. guess. this a blue hopped is made of wood, and fungus tunnels, the surface itself to the touch that the panels are right bust. so how do you get the hock materials from soft fungus? here to nature is the inspiration. the tend to fungus likes to grow on deciduous
4:43 pm
trees. attaching itself to the wood. biologist, liza, that's the health. welcome the fun guy. house coats of 1810 to fungus, and the live or a tree. she needs a source. it comes through, it's on the tree. so hard is i, mrs. is this song, this is great for building just just because through the myself am the root structure of the fungus that grows on the ground residues brought together and that into linking creates a most stable material instead of using those months. yeah, that makes it ideal for the developers of the fund. guy house, the collective of scientists, architects and artists, gross fund, guy coaches and mixes them with various other materials, always including organic waste, like wood, shavings, own minutes. then they press the mixed it into shape. after a few weeks, they kill off the phone. guess by heating, it's the material then remains solids. it's already used for insulation,
4:44 pm
but building with its isni scientists in the maybe a, a further ahead oyster machines trying using a similar process. they fused the remains of the mushroom as a compass it material molding blocks from the mixed together with architects. they've used them to build the 1st house. the whole climate hand makes it possible that the team wants to facilitate affordable and environmentally friendly housing. african countries are also ahead on clay construction. traditional month homes were largely replaced in cities during the colonial era. now they're making a come back, especially in west africa. in government knowledge houses are being built with compacted models. they provide a good indo climate and stay cool in money. the traditional nubian volts has also being rediscovered it's spelled with money breaks, put it together with motels in europe, and the a few plan is a working with much like austria's mouse here. nicole who even produces logic
4:45 pm
projects with round us wills, but must break buildings or otherwise, ret here, from the start and does. and so it's a g, b as privilege of the west and well we no longer build with much during the industrialization of construction in the 19th century, much was replaced mainly by concrete. in other parts of the world, it still use turn around. 40 percent of the global population live in much houses today. we've just forgotten how to build this way around. how was the visit to see it like to live in the future? in a fund guy house, a month house, or a house made of trees. and they're coming to find actually like a combination of all 3 month breaks for the load bearing was fungus installation. and trees on the outside, but the tree house when you're buying that, it's almost a cost that takes nick, come and instead of big machinery, you can just use to build with trees. something very simple and cheap,
4:46 pm
but in the long term i think we need to be more daring. and uh so which ones are you looking at holland? well, if this is the 2 codes, nice think this is the future. we need to what much more with nature and nothing against it. and you can give that to that nature office. a number of other materials like c weight, which could also be suitable for construction even if for such is still in its infancy. the projects on display show how all could tech to and housing could protect both the environment, us humans. we've looked at ideas for new homes, but what the of all the buildings that already exist, all about greenery or roof tops to improve equity. i reduce about the heat about just the sides will stay in euro while i'm next for pull that head to death, city offer up to them. were experts i explored the vast potential of roof tops.
4:47 pm
okay, me on fun, rinse them, lives, gardening and his workplace is this roof of a rush or dumb office building. his commitment to looking after plants and snails appear goes beyond the joys of gardening, for the state isn't to belong. i cool, but it's becoming increasingly important for cities to store walter helping more and more water is flowing in the city office told me walter, them flood speakers label low and the sellers, the streets, and the tunnels are full. the come we have to find ways to store walter with green smart roofs and it's the actually madonica divide her up to fine like on this office building the 1st of its kind to our tanks under the roof that can store rain water, guarding the sewer is against flooding during heavy rainfall, the roof this ex, as a sponge doesn't clip it, others evolve here, the flu. i've gotten a device that communicates call to magically with a weather server and checks whether there is enough capacity for more rain. walter, i guide if not to open up what's your history and also a better thing to take,
4:48 pm
but it's not uncommon about the better through a piping system on the buildings exterior. in the future, the water will be used for the garden or to flush the toilets in the building. but the system is expensive and too heavy for many buildings. so for now, the roof tongues are still the exception. for the new box, it isn't yet requiring to do anything with the roofs of new buildings, but even just on existing buildings, there are around 400 square kilometers the flat tories area, plus the pit triggering cells. and so we could connect tool to build insect hotels, to bio diversity orange to solar collectors. there's a numerous potential that isn't being exploited yet or feel more innovations, such as lighter materials are needed for the project on this plan is clear to have more smart roofs become a split in the city when we come back to africa now and it's often said beauty is in the eye of the beholder. well,
4:49 pm
we're about to meet the man who was loved to see beauty. he'd all use you objects and then make it visible to others. i mean, does that it's is done in fashion. just take a look at this week's, go in your bits. this is not your every day clean up permission to bleed you cool is collecting, discarded cons, and as no shows, each of them needs reading the street is going to turn them. it's a piece of off log scale, images of iconic because i'm selling done. use this bridge because um, i believe is bought both ways. he's going to come by this office off at one be if mike was tom, well, what to live? it's gonna cost um to pretty much the assets use this up to 1005 minutes of time, depending on the size of the artwork. first reading system disinfect the con,
4:50 pm
the selected ben cox that meets a strips. i'm nice, there me support some 50 to 60000000 tons of aluminum waste generated globally every year. and several 100009. jared low. 22. also one of the most recycled materials to be case out as even a truck that attention within the drink industry. this full of traits was commissioned by the managing director of unit live. i am gonna, chris, will caesar is supposed to be case of cycling mission as a way of reducing waste. con, need to be disposed of while they are using the right way. and so please do not just lit up the environment with it. please dispose appropriate t a cheap we get you said the to cool describes himself as an environmental office on the street to process as
4:51 pm
a for most of the diversity with the suffering of the planet to pop of the joining duplicate. our environmental policies are taking. i'm thinking it's the safety environment as well. what a talent now as you are probably aware where the apartments are changing all over the world and becoming more predictable, that's close to likely by use of fossil fuels repeat to droughts in northern kenya, which additional cut to farm and extremely difficult. so far, most of finding new ways of adapting to the changing climates in the heart of central kenya, this site is becoming increasingly common kennels. wondering across the once capital dominated landscapes of light keeps us for hudson. and like 65 year old of july, he mohammed, these kennels are lifeline. corporate can i see the before the drought?
4:52 pm
i and heard of the cattle. but when the drought head oh, but one of the cattle died and now i'm on the left with one second. the more due the 2020 drought is one of the wes can you who's seen in decades across the country, thousands of 100 is lost. the capital as positive disappeared, leaving families devastated. and without the main source of livelihood. up to 3600000 capital perished. these go to the need, traditional live stock, the abdullah, he's family has left. they now mainly has camels from their number one day where and cattle is difficult when the pastor is destroyed in some candles are easier to rear. they feed on trumps and survive and hardship conditions. when the pass code dries out in the capital, di, oh, i know like g p a is feeling the impact of drought spreading south unpredictable rains autonomy. it's one screen passages into barren land,
4:53 pm
neighboring some brewery faces similar challenges as the ongoing drought means families have to travel long distances to fetch bullshit for themselves. and the animals 26 year old team of sonya has been full to adapt. the hudson has also switched from capital to camels. say again, but yeah, they do. when the draft came in, we under height of 50 capital, we sold them and bought 5 camels. one from the camels will help us survive until it rains again. love a we for us or you can just look on the site like many in the region, lasonya has land the camels with their ability to survive on less water and feed on tough vegetation a best associated to the new reality. they can lose 30 percent of that body weight and survive. and they also have a high, a milky open couse. but the move from capital to camel heading is not without
4:54 pm
challenges. cartridge, the decision period, this limits. but for companies that decision period this uh, 11 to 14 months. so. ready 2 months to play cummins a to declare a long time compared to cutting and so it's may not be possible to get to it. let me cut the comments as quickly as possible. so how does in central kenya, the connection to the traditional livestock remain strong? let loose it then are you, what's the range retard, and we cannot sell 2 or 3 candles to purchase a cow. the purchase is milk ill. but for now the switch, the channels is helping them build resilience for the future. to be the individual to you of i to reduced assessing the communities and we can do to manage with the processes that they can do, rotational grazing,
4:55 pm
where they can handle because who it is. so use dealing drugs isn't about today telling you that do so that to the, in the communities i don't and atlanta community point. it's the traditional pastor list way of life is to continue communities have to find ways to share their results is and find claimant tricity and alternatives. camels can provide them with much needed stability. so it's amazing animals. and that brings us to the end of visitation of eco africa. i hope you've enjoyed all stories as much as i have if you'd like to seals reported on any particular environmental issues there rights to us at ico a d, w dot com for now is good bye for me, chris, a lance, a nigeria the
