the domestic sizing soul stories about people's house in the drive every weekend on d w. 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 work you would make you can improve for a while lives where it has so much to offer. i'm chris alone. so lagos, nigeria, welcome to eco offer, got caught in the video, but the bomb is sending gold take to social media as

a whole lot more amazing. also nigeria. but one of these vibrated populates can be done and adopt into the drugs k f almost straight calls for condos in the cause of while i research for eco africa, it's possible. i mean, to meet so many people working hard to solve problems. so barroso building stuff, biddable, but this is the process such as in gun uh we applied made innovation center is acting as a kind of incubator for brain stock tops or ring a lease 5 appeal mays on inspiring as they look. these plans implants, ways are being used to grow, flourish in business. he lives in kilos. office of appeal is thrown out every day there ruth,

the vegetable east of poplar food in gonna so that's a lot more cool. and if it is a cool, decided, oh, this vegetable waste was wasted rescue in the last 10 years. you have run a business specialized in growing always to mushrooms because your vision process uses as of course, ro waste some of which would otherwise be banned in the fields. nothing is coming to the community. i realize most of them is on top of that. it's a waste disposal of course we swear that's all they do is to bend the fmla and prepare the line for the next time. he says, then when they do that it's cause i'm restricted diseases and love cancer and even damaged toward life. and i realized because i truly use of cultural ways to produce something beneficial. moses only that it's, well, it's well but see what's put on our table and then with income. that's why i to

this new business. and from i believe yet, you also profits from that the season is gross, mainly nice. one has to heck days misquote. the vision produces a lot of records for our rest of you. i think the and the business came to our community and we're no longer been my farmland, like i always had to go nowadays. i gather the waste from my farm and sell it to the washer on company and the village of hot from paying us that i waste and they sometimes gave us they 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 lab really is up renee climbing williams, started to accompany them on to fuck chaise products from the marine country. its leaves 14 important 14 and 45 seats, as well as a wide range of white domains in minerals. the graduates of mit,

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 and lots 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 as a letter saying is approved and it takes 14 months, not an exaggeration, 14 months to get the actual physical certificate latency process. the means that the lee and the products reaching the market square on the williams field of unexplained safety nets. week of maureen, the pharmacist in the region around as a boy farm is having always seen lorinda as a profitable planned once in a month. now the wick with the company, the everett black custom is for the refresh leaves suited for processing. in the

last 10 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 low me just away from gun. it's got the stomach try yet, the leaves i tried, processed and packaged, also for export the believe that what's going on. i should also be processing done, so we do all the primary processing of our products savings on here right here and gonna leaves freshman seasons and dry lease 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 our valley chains just as the level of business, just like he's also receive support from the data clements innovations. think that it offers real glad trainings and also carpet tiles. first, i tops i'm gonna provide you with the business advisor and how works one to one with you and your team. and so the business advisor works with you on such and

related activities, right, to it, to bring about operational efficiency. but also to ensure that you know, you minimize your call on the footprint like the mushroom growers, with the support of the innovation st that they used exclusively, locally source materials for the factory. production is also low emission quality to compose that eventually double waste is needed for their mushroom spoils, to mushrooms and ready to have this. after in mind they mine is very huge and not even able to miss just the cause of that demand that's uh customers. i knew for every day the company sells around 1000 kilograms of biased and mushrooms a month. this, that tops welcome this difficult means is sold to the farm is. so both in technology category help farmers and the fields i can also help with selling the produce is some of the brand number 5,

as i turned into the social media to retail, to new customers in the seat is now these ad briggs was those get to boost that income, that other farmers. and how fun c, i don't i'm, that's not really my main shoots, his latest clinton for his thousands of follow. it's on check talk. and this is popularity online has grown. so have has sales to visit. if you do, i was just making the videos for fun and i didn't even know the impact social media was having danielle. more likely i've had a lots of clients with, especially from europe or even from a distance. i do see what i'm doing. 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,

cutting costs and providing that personal touch magic. but if it, if i prefer to make my own videos, because she doesn't have to pay to do it on what do you do? you are a marketing. so you get out what's inside. you get that, all right, gets out what you've been working on that be able to present the say for me if it was much more natural and people are much more receptive to it. and they mentioned, even if it doesn't have the quality, even if it doesn't have the image or the sounds that people like, what's natural, can you show what you've really done without editing? i'm not doing anything stuff, have them on the desktop area. some of these so called ed gro, influences have now set up their own consultancies. so no guy is one of them, was she? she is videos and self. he's online, offering tips on how to grow and have as 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,

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. currently synagogues, agricultural sic to makes up only a small proportion of the countries g, d, p. but it's new government wants to cut imports and a cheap food sovereignty in the near future, offering fear tal 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 awful find ourselves far removed from mother nature. many cities don't even have lots of green, the real trees that leads to pull a quality. rising temperature pushes out wildlife. with bored, most people move into cities around the world. these need to change what, how we cross the gemini now for some possible ideas. concrete,

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 as i said, there's 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 cross. we absolutely need more greenery and also to use because they are overheating by some developers, reddick us as a cool, if you think about it architecture and nature, a diametrically opposed, we build primarily to protect ourselves from wild life or the weather for example. so that means the ways destroying nature in some way, when we build through attempts and it was just the, you know, that's what's this for them to develop. but what if we were to a, with nature, you know, building rather than against an exhibition in berlin. they showed casing projects

that seek to do just that. how do trees grow together to form a structure? this question has fascinated architect. imagine and looked big for 20 years. he wants to connect buildings with trees and is constructing a kind of tree house in the city across the corporate. so you have to work a lot with other associates, interdisciplinary will tell you what his botanists, forestry scientists, civil engineers, ecologists, we'll work together to pull on knowledge from different disciplines. so it can be used in the design in process. i'm going about some project in southern germany shows what the building made of trees could look like up to 12 years. the plane tree team is i've been telling me to sign a tour to then the neighboring tend to go. the children use the shady space inside to play. otherwise, it's home to insects and that the, the trunks of the young plane trees have branched out in grinding together. the

architects check the gross regularly plain trays mccloud tatum on all 6 levels. at the same time, each in its own sounds above hey, is to say, appealing to areas of the plane trees outside of that plant as an inch connect with the plane trees, the rounded up from from the then screwed together to i'm glad you the grubbing to one unit for walk, 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 a option might be fungus. this igloo hot is made of wood and fungus tunnels, the surface itself the touch that the panels right bust. so how do you get the hot materials from soft fungus? here to nature is the inspiration. the tend to fungus likes to grow on deciduous

trees attaching itself to the wood biologist. these extra, that's the help. welcome to fund guy, house coats of 1810 to fungus, and the board tree. she needs a source. it comes through, it's on the tree. so halts, and this is, i'm, it's, this is this song, this is great for building this just because through the, my cell in the root structure of the fungus that grows on the ground residues brought together. and that into linking creates a most stable material. introduced extra beautiful scottsdale 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 came off the fun guess by heating. it's the material then remains solids. it's already used for insulation,

but building with it is nice. scientists in namibia a further ahead oyster machines trying using a similar process. they've used the remains of the mushroom as a compass it material building blocks from the mixture together with architects. they've used them to build the 1st house. the whole climate here makes it possible that the team wants to facilitate affordable and environmentally friendly housing. african countries are also ahead enclave construction traditional month homes with lots new, replaced in cities during the colonial era. now they're making a come back, especially in west africa. in government launch, house is a bank builds with compacted modules. 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 larger

projects with round us wills, but must break buildings or otherwise ret here, from the starting business. and so it's a g, b as privilege at 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 used turn around. 40 percent of the global population live in my towns is today. we've just forgotten how to build this way around. how was the visit to see i'd like to live in the future in a fund guy house, a month house, or a house made of trees. professional or come to the actually like a combination of all 3 month breaks for the load bearing wills on fungus installation. and trees on the outside, but the tree house in the bottom, it's almost a course that takes nic color instead of big machinery. you can just use crumbs to

build with trees. something very simple and cheap, but in the long term, i think we need to be more daring and it's only 20. i'm looking at holland. well, this is difficult. i think this is the future. we need to what much more with nature and also against engine is doing that to nature. also as a number of other materials like c weight which could also be suitable for construction. even if for such has stood in its infancy, the projects on display show how all could check to and housing could protect both the environment and us humans. we've looked at ideas for new homes. but what the of all the buildings that already exist, all about grid, the re or roof tops to improve and quality, reduce and heat. and that's just the sides. we stay in euro. well i next for, for that had to dot city offer up to them. were experts i explored the vast potential of roof tops. 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. it isn't to prolong icon, but it's becoming increasingly important for cities to store walter helping more and more water is flowing in the city office told me what's your down flood sprinkle's, leaf or low in the seller's the street and the tunnels are full because we have to find ways to store walter with green smart roofs, and it's the actually my doc divide her up to fine like on this office building the 1st of its kind to our tanks under the roof that can store rainwater. guarding the sewer is against flooding during heavy rainfall. the roof this acts as a sponge. i think that is it all. there's evolve here at the flu. i've gotten a device to communicate automatically with a weather server and checks whether there is enough capacity for more rainwater guides, if not to open up what's your history and also

a better thing to take bodies from on the on comment about the better through a piping system on the buildings exterior, 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 just didn't require me to do anything with the roof. so if new buildings, but even just on existing buildings, there are around 400 square kilometers a 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 sponge city. when we come back to africa now, and it's often said, did see in the eye of the, the old up well,

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 through every day clean off mission. leaky you cool is collecting, discarded cons. and there's no shortage of time metering the street is going to turn them into pc football log scale images of like conflict because i'm self don't use this bridge gauze and i believe is both both ways. he's going to provide the surface of at one day. if mike was tom, well what to live? it's gone, cause some to model the access uses up to 1000 fragments of trans, depending on the size of the artwork. first reading system, disinfect the con,

the selected, then 70 to strips. i'm nice that me support from 50 to 60000000 tons of aluminum waste generated globally every year and several 100009 jeril 20. also one of the most recycled materials to be case out as even a truck that attention within the drinking history. this full of traits was commissioned by the managing direct, so if you live, i ain't gonna chris will caesar is supposed to be case of cycling mission as a way of reducing waste kind of 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 of property a cheap week a if indeed you cool describes himself as an environmental artist, unrestricted process, as

a for most of the diversity with the suffering of the planet is still part of the journey depend, our environmental policies are taking. i'm thinking it's the safety environment. well, well it's 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, repeated droughts and nova, and kenya bits additional cut to farm and extremely difficult. so far, most of finding new ways of adapting to the change in clyde rates in the heart of central kenya. this site is becoming increasingly common channels wondering across the ones capital dominated landscapes of like keep us for hudson and like 65 year old of july, he mohammed, these kennels, are lifeline. corporate can i see the before the drought i and ahead of the capital

. but when the drought head oh, but one of the cattle died and now i'm on the left with one second to google that much. i of the 2020 drought was one of the wes kenya has seen in decades across the country. thousands of hud is lost, the capital as cost is disappeared, leaving families devastated. and without the main source of livelihood. up to 2600000 capital perished. the scouts of the need traditional live stock, the up to allow he's family has left. a now mainly has camels from their number one day where and cattle is difficult when the pastor is destroyed and from camels are easier to rear. they feed on trumps and supplies and how shall conditions. but when the passage rise out in the castle, di and the light is feeling the impact of drought spreading south unpredictable rains all turning its one screen passages into barren land

neighboring some brewery faces similar challenges. as the ongoing drought means, families have to travel long distances to fetch a whole set set themselves. and the animals 26 year old team lasagna has been forced to adapt. the hudson has also switched from capital to camels. say again that you know when the draft came and we under a 150 capital, we sold them in both 5 camels. and one of the camels will help us survive until it rains again of a, which was that you could decide on the site. like many in the region. most sally, a has land camels with their ability to survive on this was a 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 cows. but the move from capital to camel heading is not without

challenges. cartridge the decision period, this limits to companies that decision period this uh, 11 to 14 months. so. ready to multiply cummins a to declare a longer time compared to cutting to the so it's may not be possible to get to the cut the end comes as quickly as possible. so how does, in central kenya, the connection to the traditional livestock remain strong for a little bit looser than that? what's the range retard? and we cannot sell 2 or 3 candles to purchase a cow that produces milk, you know? but for now, the switch, the channels is helping them build resilience for the future to be there. and they talk to you about the reduced assessing the communities. and we can do to manage with the processes that they can do with additional glazing where

they can handle a few a to so use. ready just isn't about today telling you that to 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 resources and find claimant, tricity and alternatives. camels can provide them with much needed stability. and so it's amazing demos, 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 legs a nigeria, the
