To this new edition of equal africa. I am sandra screen over to joining you from comp hello. She is in you get and im chris alone saying hello from nigeria. Sometimes iris thing to can also mean reviving old traditions as one of our reports shows on. Heres what else is coming up today. We had to attend to the man to see how to use the money. Get this a by this by dont going drop go to products. We have researchers turn into basic plans to make environmentally friendly clips methics and go to lake to come out in kenya, where the low fish and people are fighting to preserve the way of life. Oh, flush report texas, its an easy where conditions and schools are often shooting. In some cases they are no longer assess environment for the students. Mismanagement on economy was how taking a heavy tools on public and boarding schools attended by some of the countries. Horace children, now these are often the, was affected. This is why a sneezing and g o is aiming to build. Im going to future for kids by turning schools into social enterprises. In the sight of students congregating in a, quote, jobs looks much the same. The world this Building School in northwest and ginas here is different from most top rates on a Sustainable Business model project to initiate to look to be hummadi aims to improve living conditions, Education Opportunities of future prospects. Not just but you, nancy, is most important for us children, but the families to look for the we can project is quite simple. It seeks to transform Public Schools into social enterprises, through Energy Autonomy and food self sufficiency. Got them. Why possibly . Because this country is going to be in very deep crises, economic, social, and climate crises instead of an impact on childhood, 3 months, on vessel and future generations off it dont study portions, you know. So those are 201. How about the 1st visit to the school in 2012 . It was in a catastrophic state. The facilities within the dated the electrical systems. Hows the test . There was no installation or heating all the temperatures have regularly dropped below freezing in the winter. The institution was social, which is Money Holding students could only have 1. 00 shower among pupils performing 6 such conditions are unfortunately common in tennessee, a schools especially in poor river rule areas. The country is once renowned Education System is aiming over 100000 people. Straw pounds each year. But now applications at this school in the town of maxwell, i wrote an epson t as in, down a mainly been attended the school until last year. The police knew that the school helped us realize we can drain because before we didnt dream, now we do when we are confident that we will achieve our dreams. This will happen then heading on the schools transformation is initiated by taking advantage of a plentiful resource for some comedies and g o raised money to install solar. Walter, he cuz said the boat is, could take regular hot showers for the 1st time over a 100 solar panels now produce full times more electricity than the school uses. The excess has naples the project to assess will outstanding power bills and supply electricity to 3. Move schools, installation the dormitories also Lower Energy Consumption and costs. Food autonomy is another important paulette in the self sustaining model. An a tech tough um and shows the students get healthy and balanced meals. Southwest parties, so sold to local shops or wholesale markets, providing the school extra income. But the best, more freight than that. On that clean, we offer the advert cultural training to parents who around the world. Uh, now theyve become entrepreneurs because we also set up an advert cultural business and made them shareholders. Now the farm employees, 8 parents who now receive that pay and other benefits like social security. Shy of shy, it has been working half every. Yeah. Unless at all, while i work in a while, or we can project means everything to me if you happen to know one thing i used to be unemployed. So im not going to ask my but its changed my life completely. Completely. All the disease to cope with the increasingly spa sprain, full drought tolerant vegetables have been prompted. Under eric ation installed. Now is use needs to be case allows us to water just along the line. The seeds have been so the, so our son way only the amount needed is used and the water is wasted and it also keeps weeds from growing, especially my neighbor. Was it a bunch of funds generated . We used to refurbish buildings and out features like sports facilities. Basketball is one of over a 1000 extra curricular activities on of the this group is mixed and to say that im to, i mean, ive been here for 2 years, and this is where old my friends, auntie, which is honestly, it was my siblings and i have been coming on just a bit, itll have since i was always so was it was so happy when i heard there was going to be a Basketball Club and up there on the cloud that i chose basketball because i love it. I think some of the another popular courses music, robotics what design and entrepreneurship is. So one of them theres a Reproductive Health program. Numerous Civil Society initiatives working to improve genatossio schools. But the wallet we can project to seems unique, fine money for its long term vision with sustainability as its cool. Hes got the results, have been very positive sofa. This is not sold down to efficiency by making use of whats available, like watching the power of the sun. Well, thats very important. So its pretty simple. Its the whole process to more do these. And hopefully this model can be adapted and applied in other places going i built was on the wall look tree hummadi has his thoughts set on exactly that. He plans to replicate the model, developed to and 3 other regions and ultimately throughout tennessee, a officer rule. The while the we kind of maxim as, lets invest in children to build a Better Future weve often reported on eco, offer co above the damage done by invasive plants, such as what the high says in phones. Japanese not we is only thing say most will display, same native plants. Species. Scientists at the university of mon probably have discovered the surprising feature of the veda as you this combine this weeks. Doing your bit every cod helps. The japanese not wheat has spread all that month to the university are clearing the not we, theyve discovered it has surprising properties. Crushed dried and ground into powder. It can dramatically speed up chemical processes. Its either the roots or the leaves, which are rich and minerals, Metallic Minerals of interest to them, and theyll be thermally treated to obtain this vegetable powder, they put the vegetable powder is already itself, and eco catalyst. That is to say, a reaction booster, which will allow us to transform a simple molecule into a more complex molecule. Click the researchers say this so called eco catalyst, could make the manufacturer of products like face creams more environmentally friendly. Again, because the field of cosmetics today still uses mineral, or petrochemical catalyst, this idea of plant based catalyst has never been developed before. The difficulty of the researchers have already developed at least 60 plant based capitalist. Theyre now being marketed by a start up at the university of montgomery. And how about you . If you also doing your bit, tell us about 2 visits. All websites will send us the tweets hash tags doing your we share your stories as well. New products from nature, we also need new product for nature. In other words, we need to rethink up production methods to ensure we dont costs even more environmental devastation. For example, the Construction Industry is responsible for almost 40 percent of c o 2 emissions worldwide. This is a piece on concrete, which is made with the summits is the line with keynote launch. The was possible for the statistic construction sites here in the office, but well really use as much submit as in euro. Im not upload trans, looks it to continue. So it is high time to start recycling this Building Materials. A few funds in germany, a doing just by of the gemini, creates 280000000 tons of concrete waste every year. Thats at least this rebel will soon be re purpose into new concrete company. Southern and gemini specializes in recycling, Building Materials, a crushing machine tons the concrete pieces into small grand new rules which is sorted by signs the grand new role. So then sold to cement manufacturers, which i know on side processing can save millions of truck kilometers. An inch funds are used to produce concrete, is usually doug from knowledge pains, then transported hundreds of kilometer, has the same is true for gravel. The 2nd component in concrete, sand, and gravel of the coming scale. As this construction recycling plants, old red roofing tiles that are also used to produce concrete, recycled sand is taken from an old construction pat. Its cleaned and saved before being sorted by signs. This was the as a bomb, everything here used to be a bridge or a floor slab or a house and were making something new from it. All this material would have ended up in landfills on, in some down. And that we can use it to make high quality Building Products that are used to new construction project going if its the recycled product. So the engine, if a to customers night to this nearby concrete manufacturer of this company is different than most of its competitors. Because globally, and the 2 percent of Building Materials get recycled this company depends on recycled materials, which account for 30 percent of its entire production. And the recycled concrete is less expensive to the materials a mixed in this account and then delivered to customers or the final product will look like this. Building materials that many customers prefer a conventional products this new supervisor, its becoming more popular because people understand that we have to conserve resources. And thats why demand is now greater than before. We divide. The cost will be for your other solutions that are also being developed to this cement plant, for example, permeable, concrete that can absorb ramos to helping improve the new claim. Its something that you can watch. So this inch date, rainwater seems through this concrete and then goes underground, one which can help improve groundwater levels include across the whole side, beautiful base. So this could help prevent concrete, doesnt switch completely sealed surfaces and recycled. Construction materials that will say brought to this southern german company, they are constantly testing new stone formulas in the lab, experimenting with different colors, shapes, and components to increase the portion of recycled content, which is fuzzy to 40 percent. The recycled look is intentional and says, im gonna get think, you know, were primarily talking about up cycling, the horn causative. We want to produce a very high quality design speed. This tile pattern creates an entirely new surfaces you look like. Im familiar with what this is, what it should look like, a new generation of recycled signed tools with lots of green gross browsing up in between on space for so to see pin to the ground. This is what many customers now once a new gross market for the concrete industry of many regions of positive also have ground surfaces which dont let to through before completely different reason. It is because the rain seasons fail leaving much of the ground dry. And honda is complete, so when it does rain, the water comes to be absorbed on simply one so. So what conform is due on next report takes us to the alicia, reach an in pennsylvania. What an initiative is putting a simple bond is 16 i did into practice here in the root cause is the lake north intends on you. Hardly anyone has a t b. Thats why i leaned on limbo brings a small mobiles seen in the we to. She was here a few months ago on behalf of the lead foundation. It depends on you in conservation organization. And you go up, i still do what i want to show if you about q c key hi here to d q c q high means leaving trees. Tom
