This Aaron it's amazing how hypnotized our society has become into believinbg that there is only one way for us to live... in grocery stores with credit cards. Certainly (should) make one think.

[robinschrock]

this video could be shared in our schools and job services, allow people to be creative

Most impressive is the making of bricks from seaweed and building houses made from them, giving shelters to the people and at the same time bringing smiles to people. This is a resource that is available in abundance and sometimes a nuisance but seems like not anymore.

[Joffin..]

Turning recycled tires into bricks is an awesome idea

Here in the UK old tires are shredded and mixed with asphalt making low noise roads.

The Tire recycle woman is what Africa needs to compete in a world economy. The sources and path of the investment into her vision needs to be promoted because it may help bring other winners like her to the surface.

Mam, You are doing an outstanding job and should be very proud of yourself. I am in the USA and wish they did something like that here.

[sweethaven]

1:07 I remember her!! Either from a video you did or another. She has done a great job reusing the old tires!!

[Struggle.Snuggles]

Yes, there is a reduction of space to hold waste, however, its also very much possible to recycle the 70-80% of said waste.
The main issue is that no one wants to pay the prices to create the facilities, employees, utilities, and drivers to bring and take away.
Governments, Corporations, and others dont want to ve stuck with such bills as they love profit and hate spending it on "needless things".

[stephenhopps]

It's great to see intelligence people putting waste back into use ❤

29:12 It's so important to acknowledge the ecological complexity that differentiates a natural forest vs a tree plantation. Simply replanting doesn't make up for the loss of habitat and biodiversity that our planet relies on.

[jhardy]

Congratulations Mrs. Runsewe I wish you all the best of luck with your business

[johndoh]

I agree that row planting of trees after a lumber company comes through and clear cuts a few acres is not a forest, somewhat. They don't come in and manage it so other things DO grow in those tree farms. Companies need trees that grow fast so that's what they plant. The good news is those trees still sequester carbon so it's not a terrible thing. Continually taking out forest to build housing complexes is a bit worse.
