Our planet is necessary to secure our future but it also makes good economic sense heres a quick look at what will be coming up shortly. How old buses are being used to make standby generators and we also show you how traditional recipes are driving business. And why it couldnt tourism could be a role model for Green Business in africa. We begin with a clever idea from ghana this west african country takes him the most he wished for. One month wondering if something productive could be made from to make sure he was lucky enough to buy cheese and soon enough these Green Business idea was full. Of. Between 208000 batteries go into each power tube made by mark penn and his team the batteries are themselves recycled from old laptops with tests and every one of them the same one yes to go votes were the good ones go in and get there with pride to work with them and to. Mark what tends to be a regular job is a lecturer at the university of energy and Natural Resources in the in west im gonna he set up this was 2 years ago he designed the housing for the battery on his laptop and recently began using a 3 d. Printer for the high precision. Once competed the power to you can be hooked up to an invite to chad which then sobs as an emergency backup generator thats ham targets are and therefore. Are for this or partial curse for her so this may scare the horses from letting it through power. The power tubes have an operating life of between 2110 years depending on the condition of the batteries then you just repeat with the used by trees. We try to call the waste of our freeze and try to give them a 2nd chance of course the person i am just so we go around scotts him for. These working circuit and there who are from a system called one however most of the mean there is some of them are scraps and others are. Capital accra has a thriving used Electronics Market but in other cities too such as. People do a lot of take recycling. Market has found suppliers to views bed trees across the country anthony acco from started repairing Electronics Goods 13 years ago. He still has also become an employee above used batteries which he now sells to and his team but. To me when i went with what i saw right away that this was a Good Business opportunity they always pay on time and what they want thats why we try to hold onto our ally in the 21 especially this year and no longer gives them to the scrum here. In the form of. 10 power tubes have been sold so far they dont come cheap they can cost between 871500 euros. Their customers included both private individuals and Public Sector institutions such as this Health Care Center if this power outage they just turn on the power tube. Weve been using power to for several years now in fact it wasnt being of tremendous benefit because theres a power fluctuation in crimea especially in the house so since we stopped it its us even given as a more powerful. Want to go electric cars thanks. To my sins in his quest to provide Viable Solutions to power shortages. Only takes the environment into consideration but hes here and there were things we keep them where cars are kind of 2 weeks off recycling them for the good works who bark to pollute the environment. The power to invent and he steam and need more financing in order to increase production finding old batteries will be no problem here. Time for doing your bit this week in suburbs of nigerias capital abuja good to be precise some women were brought together outside go waste plastic bags what are they doing with them turning them into beautiful handbags handwoven and then machine so well guess what theyve also turned it into a business where we are living for their good and for the good of the environment. Why are these women carrying loons through nigerias capital abouta. Still use them to recycle the plastic trash that clutters the city on contaminates the soil. The way your organization supposed both Environmental Protection and female empowerment. They wanted to empower women to be independent how to take care of themselves without you without depending on the old ones. Cleaned and disinfected plastic bags are cut into strips which are then woven into durable fabric to produce a range of attractive vitamins. They fuss but what. Fits in on with things they felt they needed a little bats buses so. The idea was well with kyrie this think that this is our life its. A piece of old denim is used to embellish this box. The products sell for between one and a half and 4 euros. The money earned by the woman enables them to support their family while also doing their bit for the environment. And how about you. If you are also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website or send us a tweet hash tag doing your bit. We share your stories. And whats wonderful idea Plastic Waste is a cost all around the world here in africa certainly. Indeed grudgingly let victoria in kenya the millions of people leaving victorias show is a drastic impact only the environment is indeed sondra and waste is not the only problem overfishing as left more than 3 quarters of the fish species unique to africas largest inland body of water under threat of extinction but new kinds of fish farms who helped on the situation. This vicious took took is arriving in nairobi with the fish delicacy that was never so freshly available here. Its brought a load of to lobby 400 kilometers from Lake Victoria and. A new type of cooling box in the cargo hold makes it possible. For what we had. To use the back kind of basket you could carry from time to get credit and then we have to look at not going to be free and i guess i am a match for you only rationing because you want to get to the fish are going to be going to we just dont fret about the reflective. The fresh the labia comes from these fish cages in Lake Victoria. 5 years ago just off the island of. Brother and sister team gilbert and michelle began to farm fish. They were the 1st to implement cage aquaculture here now theyre harvesting some 200 tons of fish annually which is a point directly on ice. We want to make sure that less species listed as its obvious that right now almost 60 percent 40 to 60 percent of the fish that is caught its lost because if so what were doing is were creating a quote chain for fish and on broken cold chain stretching all the way from boat to Consumer Rights that. This way it says that its going to go to. Lakeview fisheries uses the latest technology. Like this transportable cooler made by a finnish startup. It has a cooling mechanism which is patented were using our technology partners. That keeps the box cool. The senses that able to detect when the box is open and when its closed. Send messages to the tempest the whole time so at any time very aware of the freshness of the fish. The tilapia are hatched and grown in ponds on the island before being transferred to their floating cages. Most of the people on m func are no rely on fishing for their livelihood. During the 1980 s. Lake Victoria Perch exports were booming. Sustainability wasnt a widely known concept back then and the lake was fished clean. Michelle and gilbert m. B. O. Turn a profit with their farms and want to expand their operation. With support from germanys g. R. I. Z. Development agency theyre building a new sustainably operating refrigerated warehouse to freeze their fish and. Design is very abundant over here so what really makes sense is to be able to power using using the sun and so we do not be affected by the politicians so quite excited that means you will be able to buy good solar and were not too dependent on the unknown good electricity. The embryos want to turn their fish farm into africas biggest and theyre hoping to win the people of them over to fish farming. The next report is about a young entrepreneur who established a business when she was still a teenager rafael while on produce is not too also a camel discovered oh yeah one day shes a recipe handed down from a grandmother but how Business Model is anything but Old Fashioned shes got a production online and hes already looking into ways so expanding. Every born in. One. Goes out to collect leaves from the very known youre a big old beetle if bland commonly known as unduly here in cameroon. Believes are a basic ingredient in her 100 percent natural cosmetic products received over a files business idea was planted by her grandmother and is widely used in cameroon in cooking but the elder generation also uses it to make so. Everything began with my maternal grandmother who passed on lawful means everything. To my mother who was then pasta. In addition to running her business which she started at the age of 19 the young entrepreneur is studying management and accountant at university she began the project with technical help from a startup academy. That question to you was that once youve collected out plans like they do lives the next thing we did is waltz them and then leave them to moderate us you dont really sit here after 2 minutes the night like this the must raise it is then must say the plug can be easily steadied into the tray some mixture. Rafaels older sister michelle shares her passion for plants and helps out with the business so how do they know when the soap trace is ready and only seeing the 1st in just a full moon to suit a few forms on top of the putting a lot next to one a lot of them falls on top because thats when you know its ready for the most us to do that but you can simply. After being poured into the molds the bottles are left to cure for 3 weeks but if a lot of orders need to be filled refrigeration can help celebrates the process a bar of the organic soap cost the equivalent of one euro 50. For the time being rafael lingo and takes the soap home where she markets and sells the items through an Online Platform the 2 sisters also deliver their products to some of their clients themselves. Today they have an appointment with a regular customer who owns a beauty paulo. In the east. Its very thin so thats why. Its so hard to. Refine go and has partnered with the association of ingenious of africa a spot of a scheme to promote Sustainable Business in cameroon. She and her family hope that before too long they will be able to open a shop and in the long run market their product internationally. Every flush toilet in any of these homes behind me uses an average of 6 liters of water i mean many cases thats water that could be used for drinking or washing up is that its quite literally going down the drain 2 sisters in the german city of frankfurt thought that was a waste so they decided to develop portable toilets function without chemicals oist single drop of water its a Business Model that could be of interest elsewhere in the world like many of africas big cities. Theyre loading portable toilets onto trailers for each its hard work. Theyre not standard sanitary facilities these are compost or no water try lets novato for short and thats the name of this company thats based in Frankfurt Germany and the only water needed is for washing your hands. Were preparing for a corporate event tomorrow friday night they need 3 wash basins a toilet some 3 year and also. Sisters 17 and elisabetta felt set up novato 8 years ago theyre both former i t professionals who are looking for a career change. We wanted to do something that involves Natural Cycles and isnt too monotonous. We decided to give it a go so we built our 1st toilets we took them to Music Festivals to see if this was what we really wanted to be doing. Both the answer turned out to be yes and the company is still going strong. One of their clients is a camp for school students. The whole idea behind the camp is to be climate neutral and eco friendly so of course we wanted eco friendly toilets meaning ones that dont use water if possible. And these ones dont use any at all and no chemicals either what remains is biomass thats in no way harmful. Upset with me. For big events and long term rentals the Company Stops by regularly to maintain the toilets exchanging the containers and cleaning the surfaces the company also sells its toilets to homeowners and somewhat larger models for public spaces to local authorities. The principle is always the same. If you havent go in the here we have the container theres a layer of wood shavings in the toilet already well after each use you throw your paper into the toilet whether its also can possible it contains organic material thats so that goes in. And then you take some more shavings and throw them in. It looks clean and that binds the odor so it doesnt smell or rather it smells like wood shavings. And thats it. Look at she never he runs a cafe in frankfurt. A compost truck that was the answer to all his problems because the cafe isnt connected to the sewage system hes been renting a toilet for 18 months. We once saw one at a festival in downtown frankfurt and thought that could be really useful under certain conditions interesting approach to Waste Management its great and people seem to like it and. What they retrieved from the various rental toilets and up in a big container on the Company Premises which is taking to the composting plant every 2 weeks 17 says this system makes much more sense than flush toilets. The problem with flush toilets is that they use water to transport the waste thats a very bad idea the water becomes permanently polluted and the Treatment Plants cant fully purify it again thats why the. Novato still operates on a small scale compost toilets and other water free alternatives dont get work in dense urban settings 17 thanks and thats very unfortunate. Well morning medical hormones and drug residues end up in our rivers and lakes along with plant nutrients this is thats a problem because resources like phosphates are needed for agriculture. Even if all that goes into the sewage plants and the residue gets burned its gone forever. Its expensive to recover phosphates from waste water in sewage Treatment Plants novato is one of several Small Companies in germany that manufacture compost try that they might not yet be able to compete with conventional try lets but 17 feds is certain that we wont be able to use Drinking Water to flush toilets forever. And now lets head to the Children National park in northern botswana also known as the land of the giants its home to the largest elephant populations in africa but thats just one reason why its extremely popular to the taurus thats right and unloads in the park once visit as something way of life in oz not sure 13 is possible that is why its become something of a pioneer in a move bt hopes this could be a role model for businesses across africa. That show the river in northern botswana forms the countrys natural border with namibia while fishing and agriculture dominate on the namibian side botswana has put its side of the river under protection but was 50 years ago and made chhobi botswanas 1st National Park. The morning is perfect for watching wildlife. The mud life of the sky beautiful. 70000 jobs in botswana depend on the tourists to visit the countrys wildlife reserves but for goby much easy working as a park ranger is much more than just a way to earn money. Pike together with the i must means everything in ms everything to what some of us told is that its so close everything is the most important thing we have to level and you must you have to protect the environment and im happy to be one of those people that do that in our country. The high pitched whine of an electric motor this game is one of the 1st electric safari vehicles on the african continent and besides e cars show became large also boasts a fleet of silent solar powered boats and besides that its also managed to cut down on 95 percent of its waste and garbage. Running it or tourism and focusing on it.

Conservationist Robert Sutcliffe who collaborates with the chhobi game lodge is worried. Even in botswana Road Construction poses a serious threat to wildlife. One of the main reasons is habitat loss. I dont have elements around a lot of there is being. Areas where farming and then Development Like the signing of pushing these animals out of the areas that have. Been 2012 chhobi river and its National Park became the center of the commandos and b.
