  • I have just arrived to a farm in the country off Peru where these farmers created energy from the poop off guinea pigs.

  • This'll process is simple.

  • They take the proof off 1000 guinea picks, put it in underground chambers and pressure it, and that creates methane gas that can power their farm appliances and light bulbs.

  • And the proof blocked overs they put in Coca Cola bottles called it way on.

  • Use it as a fertilizer to turn their entire farm green way.

  • Make this product from the book.

  • This'll unique method is not enough to replace electricity, but it shows that you can make something out off nothing that you can power a farm from guinea pig poop based off the new toe.

  • He knows famous man.

  • Yeah.

  • Oh my God, this is one of the most unique things I have ever seen.

  • It's a river in the Amazon jungle that is this'll unique.

  • It's so dangerous if you fall into it.

  • Humans get burned and animals die.

  • This'll boiling river is not a hot spring or a volcano.

  • It's glacier water, he did from the bottom of mother earth that makes a seven kilometer river in Caruso jungles that will blow your mind, heal your body and boil your breakfast on at the end of it, where it gets colder.

  • The water feels like the world's best.

  • Jack who's That's one minute.

  • See you tomorrow.

  • Hi, kid.

  • You see, next to me is only 14 years old, but this kid started a bank.

  • Hi, my name is Jose on.

  • This is my story pose, Issa that Ah lot of his classmates spend money, but they don't save money.

  • It's important to save money.

  • So at the age of 12 Jose started a really bank in Peru that turns his classmates allowances into a savings account with its own debit card is the first bank in our started by a kid.

  • His bank got so popular he found 3000 customers, saved $50,000 and hired eight employees that are older than him.

  • This is just beginning.

  • He also built a system that helps kids make money by recycling their plastic.

  • Kids can get plastic waste, go to his bank, give plastic and get money in their account.

  • It's a win win way, as we adults are busy spending money.

  • Let's look at this kid who built an entire legal banking system that saves money and saves the environment.

  • That's one minute.

  • See you tomorrow.

  • Hi.

  • The guy you see next to me is solving one of the hardest problems in the world.

  • Hi, my name is Merino.

  • But first, let me tell you what the problem is.

  • Pollution Sea lakes like this one are contaminated on.

  • According to data, this is the case for 40% of the world's lakes and rivers.

  • So when Marino's childhood lake also got contaminated, I had to do something about it.

  • This scientist with a PhD degree from a Japanese university took a break from school, went to a bank, got alone and dedicated his time to fix my leg.

  • He came up with a unique solution.

  • You put this solution in dirty lake water and bam.

  • The solution attracts the contaminated particles and floats them to the top.

  • This'll is so environmentally friendly that you can eat it because it's 100% organic.

  • So after 15 minutes you can see the difference between a clean and polluted water.

  • If I can clean this cop, then I can clean whole lake.

  • So he went to his childhood lake and dropped a ton of his solution.

  • Treated it with bio filters, nanotechnology and crazy biology.

  • And after a few months, he was able to transform the lake from this to this, a full 180 degree transformation that created a lake clean off parasites, bacteria and pollution.

  • The birds came back and people did to What is this method that you used?

  • I used another technology, but another technology used in the wastewater treatment.

  • But I just in the wetland on the natural habitat.

  • And why don't more people do this?

  • Because it's expensive.

  • It's very hard, but it's not impossible.

  • It's not impossible.

  • That's why now Marino is thinking big.
