the environment is not responsible make up your own mind, dw, made for mines. the welcome to home way sustainability meets modern design, where eco friendliness alex jerry is living, co exist in perfect harmony. this is house in a game. yeah. but before we step into the sustainable home and experienced the ultimate in green living, we meet to the kids who do an award winning illustrate. so from johannesburg, taking the 0 culture to the skies. 2 explore the vibrant culture, all exams, the box a tropical tyra dies off the coast, often zenia. then we head on over to gun to to meet larry j. m.

c. how he of cycles taken hand. gomez into fashionable clothing? i am pelham tenga, and your watching a free mex. the, the pin is my 2 of them. the sword is a saying that embodies the power of writing. this is what motivated kenyan inventor have moved omari to recycle news papers. i'm make pencils accessible and affordable in kenya. moment pensive was a b and idea because they treated dealing with some of the things i've experienced before. i looked at to, to say this is a very unique idea and it's out of the box. if we're able to create it, actually end up with a tangible product,

they need to me is that nothing is impossible. oh news because in kenya, i usually store in a week or used to wrap up products like me. my mood or marie has found another way to give you to these headlines a new future. i'm ok, so there's a green manufacturing company that can reflect a spencer from a cycle newspapers, pencils a made from a 100 percent. this type of despair by so everything is so look, i mean, the only thing that was being input from outside is a graphite that to use because that is not available, is located the 1st step in actually making defense of steps with cutting the new spectrum size the next step is now in setting the graphite. this is done by putting blue and then setting the graphite. and once that is done, it goes to the fed stage, which is now the whole process from that piercing event right for about 3 days, right? in the sun, then we would now put a should have been since to give it a small finish after that depends on the shipping. and once it's ship,

end to the end was for quality control to make sure that it's doable. it's made all the data requirements that uh, in terms of low quality to standards, then it goes into packing and is ready to go for the market. as a 1st audio capacity right now, we're able to do up to 40000 pencils a day. we can do a minimum of $70000.00 left, the medium pen since in a month. this is subject to the or the end of the month that comes in. so we looked at the impact of enrollment for that right now. climate change is a very big topic everywhere. so we can use defensive as an advocate of environmental awareness to use the children to input the children and transform the mindset. so they can, i book it for a better environment for the children. and the children's children, pencils came as an opportunity to be said, look, now it's possible to manufacture pencils form recycling. this purpose. this is an idea that we'd like to try. we had to do research and we said yes, it's

a very viable and it's unique. so nichols jump on to it. it'll be there for us to those to do this and be able to use that. i as a tool to not only supported location, but at the same time to be able to support the environment because they're not coming to invite them in continuous according to the want bunk and asked me to 2 $1400.00 tons of solid waste is generated in a row, be every be a month. this includes news because we are discarded of to use. how does one, okay to have the bottom it, it helps invite them into 2 ways. one it symbols with from the environment in terms of newspapers, business purposes, and that from the landfill and daily, just to add up to the pollution. secondly, by projects coming up with an option for the intensive. what we had advocating is that we should stop cutting trees to make friends,

since there is another option that is more equal friendly, that can be able to reduce the number of kids that are cut to make themselves the process of dining. discarded newspapers into pencil seems like a very liberal. how is that? my mood has been doing these since 2017 and now has the down to a fine art they hopefully to continue to go see as add also was to schools and plants cheese. by doing that, reassuring them that you have a very important role to play in advocating for entitlement, the st. you to learn by experience. so they plant a tree that will remember their whole life in sub saharan africa. more than one in 3 adults cannot treat a 182000000 adults unable to read and write. when 48000000 youth between the ages of 15 to 24 are elite, the excess procession that a for me when i was this group,

we were this at the system with a lot of this teams are provided by the government to free. and so as long as you are in the government school or you what i can towards the excise books, pensive and everything that you needed was already covered the when we're in the hopefully to see campaign. last year. we impacted a 145000 school children. this 145000 h one, was able to get our pensive and we managed to get to schools and planted trees. planted the bus. $7500.00 c is last year alone. with bees recycled, and so that's much more tons out keys, not only giving children the tools needed to excel in life, but also making them aware of the environments by using these waste feedback to create these through the expense of

no innovation that made sustainability for the future thank is about climate house and they gave me a as a modern environment to be friendly home. it utilizes low maintenance ad, locally sourced materials. it places emphasis on the coast to stay inability. i just sent it around to providence indigenous tree that stands in the garden courtyard. i'm joined by gregory cuts to tell us small. gregory were standing on the roof top of health and they gave me a tell me a bit more about the push towards sustainability in your industry. if you're not thinking about sustainability, if you're designing home, especially homes like this from scratch, and then you're not doing your job properties. you know, it's such a big issue. can you tell us about the brief that you received from the client? some of the things that came up in those initial conversations were like in formal

way of living requirement for the 1st time. and in particular, was that the one to the house? i'm a single level that into 10 lots. and so really we needed a lot of space for, for entertaining. and we made very big. i'm open plan gestures on the ground floor . but the kitchen and kind of integrated into the space into the, into the entertainment space. and the challenges when you, when you're making space, it's like this, the kind of float is how do you keep them close their various strategies that re adults to, to make them feel more intimate. but you know, in full africa we've got this amazing climates and um, and so it's the houses, it's a very open, it's open to the landscape. this huge doors it's, it's basically a dropbox that slipped from the ground. and these 2 defining planes, the one is the gone plane and the other one is the ceiling claim. and then these various objects which treat insert into the, into that box, you know what i am looking forward to seeing everything around the house. the

sanchez view is an award winning illustrative that has received the cross cold lou are you award? she's a female illustrate to that aims to bring her culturally in spite of twigs into the male dominated graphic novel industry. lisk. it inspired, imagined zulu called to us in the skies. the significance of my flies for collaboration was quite a big deal because it's something i never imagined would ever be able to do as an industry to have in my work on the interior. how the plane is not something i had in the plans, but i'm very thankful for the opportunity. it helps significance because i suppose i wanted to find the bigger platform to express south african culture and have people see it and takes them to call to, to this guy's name, j, z z. there is an illustrate thing. his work not only showcases his skill as an

artist, but also brings the representation of african culture as to the fold. she's a custodian, those really called stuff preserving condition and educating others through eye catching illustrations. i would consider that illustration isn't necessarily a medium, it's a specialty. and within that specialty you can use many mediums to illustrate. and i chose illustration because it has great communicative power in the sense that you can communicate to a larger audience to visual appeal. and you can cross multiple languages and barriers between people just through the appeal and visual as a tell thing to found, it difficult to relate to illustrations and the cultural books, even though they would visually interesting. it didn't see to characters. she could relate to. now being an illustrator herself, it's motivated her to correct that in balance in her work. i'm working on a comic book. the name of the comic book is nandita, the protector of there's a new kingdom. it's my passion project. it is literally my baby because it is

actually inspired by my niece who was born recently. so it's named off to her. it's also story about a young girl who was trying to figure out what it's like to have dreams, where she needs with some of ancestors and she learns different ways of life. she's quote between the suburbs and the township, and she's just navigating the world in between those 2 spaces. one of the characters is assigned to them and she is a guide for the main character and kind of gives her a little bit about life lessons that she can carry through out her own life. you know, i have relatives and my grandmother was also assigned to my so we kind of had that 1st hand experience of what a supplement is and what they do. and essentially a single mother, someone who kind of gives you a little bit more guidance, spiritual guidance on your life, and how to go about certain things with caution. and so i think kids work and leads

to her own to lu, called for the also entices others to discover the traditions to aids, to impact the education sector. by integrating her illustrations with teaching literacy in south africa. this is because i grew up in the suburbs and i went to model c schools. so i didn't necessarily have that much of an understanding of my ancestors and the traditions of my culture. although whenever family did come together and have these traditions, i was always curious about what they meant, what they were. and i think it is important to bring it into our everyday lives and peace of mind everyday life. because adult significance and, you know, it provides energy to keep me going from pages to balls for messages carried strongly through her images and the color. she uses this all to it gives a don't on the walls of chill city in the center of the head is vague. so my mural

reps around the entire building. and the challenge that i had was to tell a story with the mural. the story behind the mural is basically about a young girl who's traveling through town and she gets on a text the to the 1st we plan. and then the story, she picks up to the items, little pieces of a tie of from the culture that she with. and through that journey, she kind of understand her connection back to her own culture. i would like for people to look at the work, see a sense of brightness, be reminded of some child like quality in the way that they may be create. but the reason why i use bright to tons of color throughout all my pilots is to try to foster a sense of joy and happiness. just a few steps from the mural is a place we some of our ideas came a live david crude projects. i think is collaboration with the studio allows you to dip her feet in the face prints making. this was a collaboration between myself and the director of the workshop, which is i'm

a bo and the most to print a call with the series which is proxy catch break. each of the characters find themselves and these folk would predicaments within the city. and i kind of touch on stereotypes and the illustrations themselves and stereotypes like the ways that foreigners are kind of portrayed in the city and how it, how it feels like as a person to one to escape south africa because of the things that are happening in our country and i also touch on the comedic side of things because these creatures are awkward, and i feel like a lot of the viewers can identify themselves in each of the creatures and identify with how strange it can be to be in a city that's still developing, still recovering from all of its history and all of its cost and trying to be represented as something that's a little bit more diverse and more of the community. i think that it's important to break stereotypes because they form the fundamental of prejudice. and they kind of

eliminate the need to see people as individuals. and i think that that need is really important. and this is why i tried to challenge stereotypes in my own work. we are a young country, i am the age of the democracy of our country. and i still believe that we have so much to offer as far too, as illustrators, and as individuals in general, being in control of how the country is represented in some way, shape or form, i think is important so that the rest of the world can see south africa in a new contemporary light case work is a testament to the fact that by modernizing the messages of the cost, we can learn where we come from and still appreciate how it is relevant to our present. i know back to you. great. now this house was built around

a large indigenous tree. how did you incorporate the tree into the design of the house? you know, when we 1st came to this piece of land and the trees standing gloriously in the middle of off the stand. i'm not sure of the age, but it's very established and had a real presence on the sides and the unit was kind of precious resource for us to design around. we use the tree as a kind of mock understand to determine like how to position the house. so you can see that this is the living room waiting a day. you have the bedroom waiting, and we placed this living room where as close to the tree as we could so as not to disrupt its roots and trump damage us. thank you so much, quick for you. time it is good to see sustainability taking center stage exams, if uh, an occupancy go just off the coast of 10, zenia is a power dies for those seeking and exotic and tropical escape. the perfect blend of

relaxation and adventure enjoy and no, i'm 50. i mean all the way from 0 and this is mine, c t state tom is the heart of science, the best largest city. that's us and me and i keep the levels, nearly 2000000 residents. a famously bypass hospitable and musically gifted like city and then to maximally i claim, musician has been called a local tourism and control on both of them and today to 2nd asked to, to city that's, you know, that you sort of that is the but it's a mixture of millions of culture and everywhere you go, you will coming with one world coming press is one well coming uh words, the ticket, our guys, this is our space where we do all practice every single day the

while the of cycling initiative health reduce waste. check this out. what do you imagine that this was made from trash? larry g, a session design, this is a regular customer to one of the treat is here in can someone to the biggest secondhand clothes markets in the capital, city of gunner, with about 50000 treatise, he usually purchases some secondhand clothes and 5 rigs. and we pep both of them into fashionable installed outfits for his mode. indeed, customers very little behind you. then they can hon. firebreak for our brand. first of all is because, um, as part of our brand new to us for like z re test so much about the environment that we can do this by using like, with fabrics we have in the environment. so they don't end up feeling our lines. and what about is so arise from, so send this 5 rates from, i'll look on my kids,

we bring it home and, and extend them out to that scene. we then take them to our us as us who us yeah, most of this as his, as you the from which enough iso molly or some ego and indeed employed the hunting di skills on this fabrics. and then like we have proposed them into our artistic brand, tie 5 years gonna impulse an average of 6000 homes of 2nd 100 clothing into the country on a monthly basis for its citizens. the secondhand clothes are locally known. this will bring you, we meaning this quite to exclude some of these clothes which of low quality this kind of and this contributes to the enormous waste in landfills and what the forty's mine was service. and as the design of the brand is the fact that i'm able to make some sort of change in my immediate environments when it comes to

wisdom management's also providing job opportunities for lots of people. the brand is booth cutting inside by our various african cultures. and need to, so all of this elements us up to our design aesthetic the fab rates we make, how we blame them with the resting fibrex we use to us from our little co, my kids. so this is sort of puzzle file story of preserving our guardian heritage and culture. larry had an at least live for flushing. great enough. i used to parts most of my tea sets with watch springs from my mother's woodrow. she saw my passion for it and so she would always given me more of the experience. i think she understood where i was going to at some points, i sort of fly permission i live in because i had friends like people on line requesting for what i was doing. and so that's supposed to advise me into focusing

on waste management by gets in with 5 rates includes from our dump sites and not crass to like, plug them, transform them into new pieces for consumption. and then this piece end up going back to the task or a way the with came from. so i just for the i prize. now the words with is mytrasia . mary jane believes in upside glen secondhand clothes, to help reduce waste in all communities. and the fashion production cycle unlocked . so as part of our 5th anniversary in st kitts institute, we introduce the collection with smith. it's, i'll be well in my little code daily. this is because it's really focused on our production process is us and brought and that's to make the world a better place considering all of this with we talk lynn as a brand and it's also this is us to be very quiet shows us consumers

whenever it comes to fashion, that's always something that we'll lose sure. from the time somebody starts until the are considered. and then then you go see from the time you start to on. so the middle part and then now why we have reached the go see that? yes, yes, rule local the and himself, what is the word that is done? it is the size of his creativity. now one of the put things together, and i really, really proud of him for the 5 to allow his that to, you know, why we started working with piece of clothes i do here 5. so not maybe on monday, i miss you. i'll do my best to provide what you did. yeah. yeah, i am sorry, sort of going because i have seen an improvement in a lot of this, which for the past 5 minutes. i also sung everyone for being part of this success story. yeah. i think it to be very good if there's like less
