How old are being used to make standby generators and we also show you how traditional recipes are driving the wharton business. And why equal to or is it could be a role model for Green Business because. We begin with a clever idea from ghana this west african country takes in the most he wished for. One month wondering if something productive could be made from and it should be lucky enough to buck trees and soon enough hes 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 we test and every one of them use in the us through google or through the good ones growing in gets their courage to parking them into. Mark what tends to be a regular job is a lecturer at the university of energy and Natural Resources in the in western 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 tube can be hooked up to an invite to chad which then sobs as an emergency backup generator. Charges that are and they were. Ours for this parcel her circular for this risk of the whole system that you need to power a whole house. The power tubes have an operating life of between 2110 years depending on the condition of the batteries then you just repeat them with the used batteries. Or effects with whole waste markings and try to give them a 2nd chance of course the person i am wearing means so we go around skirts in school and these workers. There who are from the system or however most of it mean theres some of them are scraps and the docs are. Gammas capital accra has a thriving used Electronics Market but in other cities too such as. People do a lot of take recycling. Mark has found suppliers to have used bed trees across the country anthony a call from started repairing Electronics Goods 13 years ago mostly computer as his store has also become an employee 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 only spin on timers and what they want thats why we try to hold onto our in the 20 question they want especially this year and no longer gives them to the scrum to cry not for. 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 good enough a tremendous benefit because theres a power fluctuation in a crack here especially in the hudson so since we stopped it its given as a more powerful. Want to go out and thats a cost thanks. To my sins in his quest to provide Viable Solutions to power shortages mark all mistakes the environment into consideration by crispier and there were things to keep them where cars were kind of 2 weeks or 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 the suburbs of ny just dropped out of the job to be precise some women were brought together outside go waste 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 but would earn a living for their good and for the good of the environment.

Visit our website or send us a tweet hash tag doing your bit. We share your story. And what a wonderful idea Plastic Waste is a cost all around the word here in africa its certainly. Indeed grudgingly let victoria in kenya the millions of People Living on big. Holiday a drastic impact on 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. Threat of extinction but new kinds of fish helps 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. Used a basket kind of basket you could carry sometimes i would get punished and then again we have to look are not going to be can be free and i guess i am a match for you only rationing because you want to get her pregnant the critics are already selecting. The fresh to lafayette comes from these fish cages in Lake Victoria. 5 years ago just off the island of from fungal no 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 put directly on ice. We want to make sure that less species we used it has that right now almost 60 percent 40 to 60 percent of the fish that is quote its lost because if so what were doing is were creating a coaching for fish and unbroken cold chain stretching all the way from boat to consumer. Its that. This way he says its good its good he. 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 for up to 7 days so. This sense is that able to detect when the box is open and when its closed and send messages to us and it isnt all the time to send the ball the whole time so at any time were very aware of the freshness of the fish. The to lobby are hatched and grown in ponds on the island before being transferred to their floating cages. Most of the people on im fucking kano 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. The sun is very abundant over here so what really makes sense is to be able to power liquid them using using the sun and so we may start to have not be affected by the politicians so quite excited that mean you will be able to part with solar and were not too dependent on no one on the grid electricity. The embryos want to turn their fish farm into africas biggest and theyre hoping to win the people of them by. Over to fish farming. The next trip was about a young entrepreneur who established a business where she was still a teenager rafael while on produce is not true also a camera holds gotta tell ya one day shes a recipe handed down from a grandmother but how Business Model is anything but Old Fashioned she sells. Online and hes already looking for ways to expand. Oh. Every morning rafael in go one goes out to collect leaves from the been known. To lift blunt 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 almost. Everything. To my mother he was then pasta. In addition to running her business which she started at the age of 19 the young entrepreneur of the study in management an accountant at university she began the project with technical help from a stone top academy. Of course since you was once youve collected out plants like the daily lives the last thing we did is waltz them and then leave them to moderate us you dont really sit here after 2 minutes the new to this i must raise it is then must say the plug can be easily stead 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 very soon the class just a full moon duce you assume forms on top of the put a lot next one a lot of themselves on top because thats when you know its ready for the most us to do that but yeah of course a complete. After being poured into the molds the bones are left to cure for 3 weeks but if a lot of orders need to be filled refrigeration can help the seller rates to process a bar of the organic soap cost the equivalent of one euro 50. For the time being rafael and go 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 gentle thats why. Its a 100. Or a filing go in has partnered with a center the association of ingenious of africa a spot of a scheme to promote Sustainable Business income our own. 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 of a 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 twilights 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 toilets and 3 or and also. Sisters 17 and elizabeth 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 this stuff 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 van 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. Its also can possible it contains organic material thats got so that goes in. And then you take some more shavings and throw them in. Thats real thats what 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 nelly runs a cafe in frankfurt. A compost toilet 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 ends 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 trial thats in 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 in 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 toilets but 17 feds is certain that we wont be able to use Drinking Water to flush toilets forever. And now lets head to the job a 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 a fitting us possible that is why its become something of a pioneer in. The 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 it was 50 years ago and make chhobi botswanas 1st National Park.

Pike together with that i must means everything it means everything to what im told is 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 here 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 through 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 there as being.
