you I'm Coy this is CNN 10 your 10
minutes of news with no bias no slant I
just tell you the what letting you
decide what to think tomorrow is your
word Wednesday so submit your vocabulary
words and definition in the comments
section on my most recent post @ kwire
on Instagram Snapchat Tik Tok and we're
going to choose one winner to help us
write tomorrow's show and put your
school city state and teachers name in
there so we can show you some love all
right let's get you your news we're
starting today with new technology that
claims to be making shopping easier and
cheaper it's an AI powered smart cart
called Caper delivery company instacart
is rolling out Hightech buggies in
grocery chains like Kroger Schnucks and
ShopRite these things can and products
they weigh items as they're dropped in
they can offer coupons and product
suggestions to customers as they shop
the new technology aims to assist both
grocery chains and the customer with
years of inflation and grocery prices
rising budgets are top of mind for
consumers right now so much so that a
survey of registered voters before last
month's election showed that a whopping
96% of Voters said high prices for gas
groceries and other Goods factored in to
how they cast their ballots Consumer
Price Index or CPI inflation data shows
that Americans are shelling out 22% more
for groceries compared to January of
2021 a number of factors contributed to
this over the years like the pandemic
the war in Ukraine raising wheat prices
and Rising Energy prices making it more
expensive to transport food while wage
increases are now outpacing the soaring
food prices people are tired of food
prices staying so high and they likely
won't be going down anytime soon so
could technology like this help ease
Shoppers budgeting pain CNN's CLA Duffy
took a smart cart for a test run to show
us how they
work this is Caper cart an AI powered
smart shopping cart that hopes to solve
a familiar grocery store headache self
checkout please put an item in the
bagging area like that's something we
don't want here at all instead of
scanning items at one of these Caper's
technology lets you check out items in
your cart no need to Fumble around
looking for barcodes Caper claims that
multiple smart sensors and cameras can
automatically detect barcodes as items
go in or out of your cart it can even
weigh
produce our core focus when building
this product was to make sure that none
of those extremely annoying pain points
that you see with self checkout presents
on the Caper cart okay but what if I
decide that's actually not the one I
want take it out oh it just
automatically took it out that was good
I had to take a little more care with a
couple of items oh that wasn't a good
enough but for the most part product
scanning was seamless the cart even
caught my tissue box
toss oh got that Caper claims their
carts don't just save you time but money
as well the carts are free to use and
the display shows a running total of
your items to help keep you on budget
four items we're already at
14435 it surfaces coupons for items
you've added to your cart and even
recommends products on sale nearby we
can get a coupon for ginger ale tells me
it's on aisle 14 location-based
recommendations are just one of these
features Caper cart gained after being
acquired by instacart in 2021 the
sophistication that instacart has been
building around Ai and product
recommendations we get to leverage all
of that in the inore experience we want
to really person The Experience based
off of where you are in the store what
you have in your basket how you shopped
in the past to really recommend things
that cater really well to your diet or
your family's uh shopping patterns as my
cart continued to serve me coupons and
ads I couldn't help but feel like it was
encouraging me to buy more the pitch to
stores is customers are going to buy
more the pitch to customers is you're
going to save money sure how do you
square those two things so if you think
about a customer that goes into to shop
on a budget they're typically spending a
lot less than they want to because they
don't want to go to the front of the
store and then end up you know going
over their budget so by having things
like running totals we see customers
actually shop to their budget they end
up buying like one or two more items but
the cost of those items actually comes
down uh because we're able to present
all these savings for
them 10 second trivia what factor is the
largest driver of deforestation or the
intentional clearing of forest
urbanization logging agriculture or
mining
if you said agriculture you are correct
the majority of deforestation is linked
to Growing soybeans and palm oil as well
as clearing land for raising

livestock the Amazon rainforest covers
nearly 60% of the South American country
of Peru making it the second largest
expans after Brazil today on call to
Earth we travel to a Peruvian jungle
Metropolis where a conservation group is
inspiring the next generation of Planet
protectors with a unique and playful
project aitos Peru a city surrounded by
rivers and engulfed by the Amazon
rainforest is considered the largest
city in the world that can only be
reached by air or by water and yet for
many of its citizens it can feel as if
all that natural Splendor doesn't really
exist exist I could describe it as a
metropolis in the heart of the
Amazon but something particular about
this city is that in spite of being in
this in the middle of the Jungle local
people here don't have access to Green
areas according to the nonprofit Amazon
forever 80% of the youth who live here
have no contact with the
forest that means that 80% of the
Amazonian children in kitos have
natureal deficit disorder that's a big
challenge because in a couple of years
they are going to be the decision makers
here in the
Amazon and that statistic led to the
creation of
[Applause]
this wo which means fruit in the
Indigenous language of kitua it's just
that a magical fruit brought to life and
given a mission to unite kids across the
world to help save
nature Javier Velasquez created and
write su's e Tales which were inspired
by his own
upbringing when I was a child I had the
opportunity to visit a lot of places in
the Amazon um with my grandfather he
gave me the opportunity to know how
beautiful beautiful is the Amazon
rainforest in that moment when I was a
child I decided in my heart to care the
Amazon the stories can be found in books
and in an online video
series and there's also a larger than
life version in a patch of Woodland less
than an hour south of
ikos here at the forest of wo we want
children to have a memorable experience
by visiting and exploring the forest so
basically when children come here they
feel like they are inside a w story like
visit a living book there's even a movie
in the works but W is more than a
cartoon
[Music]
character it's grown into entire
learning method that forms the core of
an educational program run by Amazon
forever since launching back in 2016
they've reached more than
45,000 children with the W method if you
work with a child and if they have a
memorable experience probably you're
going to inspire that
children they going to be Park Rangers
they're going to be someone who respect
the Amazon someone who respect the
nature that's why this method Works in
this emotional level
[Applause]
