hello I'm here to show you that this
isn't just a banana in a periodic table
there are around there hundred chemical
elements however human have been
creating millions of compounds the
problem is that only one percent of them
are regulated they are impacting our
healthy our resources and our
environment it's a new problem and I try
to find a new solution let's return to
the bananas in my country Brazil about
30 percent of the inner products of the
bananas are thrown into the trash
besides that the fast food restaurants
throw away around 4 tones of banana peel
every week in some foul along and now
the good news we can combine these two
problems in one sustainable solution
look inside that banana peel with me
during my master's program I was looking
for a new solution for removing half
metals from the waste water so I made a
pounder using banana peel and I stirred
it about the special structure which can
trap the pollutants from the waste water
and also about the molecules that are on
the banana peel surface how does it
works this process is called by
assertion and the negatively charged
molecule is on the surface of the banana
peel attract the poultry with the chart
have metals from the waste water and
after 40 minutes at least 65 percents of
pollutants can be removed I believe in a
simple solution banana peel + pollutants
is eco clean water
thank you
iBM is underwritten the filming of the
TED Fellows talks each fellow talks for
four minutes about the work that they do
or an idea worth spreading and because
of IBM they now have the opportunity to
be considered for Ted calm iBM is all
about innovation not just innovation we
do within the company but the innovation
we do we work with other people and
organizations to do Ted fellows really
encourages that encourages people to
take their ideas imagine executing it
and that's a great marriage to be able
to drive the next wave of change and
advancement at Ted global we have a
demonstration called Edison about the
smart and intelligent generation of
energy the future of how energy would be
produced and consumed by sources such as
conventional power generation plants
solar energy renewable sources of energy
wind and knee consumers benefit of
electric car solving the key problems
that affect society today require a
different way of thinking and it
differently of coming up with solutions
IBM's initiative around smarter planet
is looking at the biggest problems we
have water infrastructure medicine etc
and terah's provided a venue to get all
the thinkers of the world together and
work on IBM I think we can bring both
communities together to really reach
that global forum
