our planet our existence we're in a race to ecological collapse but the gas that's driving climate change also has value c o 2 pollutant and resource welcome to mate go online and calculate your carbon footprint it's scary i doubt any of you are all that sustainable to keep temperatures down we're all going to have to be more aware and make sacrifices but it's not that easy as my colleague keogh to have found out. being in college of course is so stylish i'm trying to be green as well i have a bamboo toothbrush. grow my own plant and i wear secondhand clothes but sometimes i slip up big time so i want to find out how green i really am and that's why i'm tracking my spirit through emissions today let's see how i fare. experts estimate that every one of us can only emit 2 trunks of c o 2 per year that's 5.5 kilograms

per day to slow down climate change so challenge erik's. i tend to take longer showers and like them hot this one generates about 600 grams of c o 2. almost all of the clothes are half 2nd hand and this is basically all of the clothes i am fair that point for me i also wear my clothes and shoes for years so today's outfit only adds 15 grams to my c o 22 i'm doing fairly well energy wise because i live with 5 people and we use a renewable energy paulo electricity and heating amounts to an average 260 grams per person per day. at least i can walk to work. but it turns out that all the streets the infrastructure schools hospitals all of that account 2 kilograms of spirit 2. day already. so.

i thought the bread with cheese and butter i often have for breakfast isn't too bad but it turns out all those farting cattle are actually quite bad for the environment. since i'm lazy i always take the elevator. i thought i was doing ok but i'm already quite close to the 5.5 kilogram limit. and this juicy beast really piles it on. crossed my lips it. only lunchtime it's just good i'm sorry. if i was serious about saving the planet i'd have to stop my challenge right here but of course i can't so let's see it continues a world on a normal day i maybe get some takeaway sushi for dinner. take a car share and have imported after work in the park. and i've admitted

twice as much as i'm supposed to over 10 kilograms of carbon dioxide. and this was just a normal day if i wanted to buy a light one return flight from berlin to already met 220 kilograms of c o 2 i'm not saying i should stop and drop her if thing as soon as i go over the limit that's just unrealistic but i think there are a few things that i could do to reduce my carbon footprint. for starters flying list taking a return train trip to london from berlin it would save me up to 600 grams a day for a whole year if i really want to take the car i guess i could give my friends a ride. i know me to stay still but i could probably swap it with a veggie option every once in awhile. and drinking local wine instead of an imported brand can save me about 550 grams. using renewable energy is

a good start but even better would be to switch to more energy efficient models. not flying to the caribbean or buying a new energy efficient fridge isn't instead. it's what actually makes sense. well too much carbon dioxide is harmful but what i didn't know is that c o 2 can also be a very useful resource oil refineries produce a heap of it and some of them actually funnel the greenhouse gases to green houses where it's used to help plants grow a report across campus visited a horticultural specialist in the netherlands and discovered that like every green and growing thing roses are a big fans of carbon dioxide. glass as far as the eye can see. this is a roast breeding company in the netherlands. c o 2 is pumped into

these 2 huge greenhouses to help the flowers grow better. the head of the family business says the investment is paid off. the local leaves and when the leaves are dark and dark green then we know leaves are. the flower we always look at the size. how big are the size whether the selling of and also the. intensity of the color important for example if this is a wider hose but we have different types of for us. to compete against roses flown in from emerging economies the business has to work very efficiently with high tech heating and cooling systems automatic irrigation and fertilization. but what's really special is the c o 2 ventilation equipment. on.

this pipe over. of the bible succumbing to. the air inside is in reach with carbon dioxide c o 2 eighth's photosynthesis and spends plant growth the company harvest $8000.00 roses a day and can sell each one for $0.50. the gases brought in virus subterranean pipeline from rotterdam. now and again the supply of cools by. bloomberg has 600 greenhouses on his books. the crops fetch the balls cut flowers grown in greenhouses they used to get a better product traditionally they used a few gases from gas burning. they can stop using the net or gas and create even

better products. the carbon dioxide comes from the port of rotterdam from one of the world's largest oil refineries 400000 barrels of oil a process to each day and hundreds of thousands of tons of c o 2 generated each year as a byproduct. or organic c o 2 for assimilation by plants or uses some of that. the company has a plant in the dutch poort and supplies half a 1000000 tons of c o 2 to greenhouses. this is what it sounds like when the gas is released it smells slightly acidic. so. it's coming from from the shell refinery 3 it's transported to our facility. this pipeline and over here it gets divided over the 4 compressors that we have standing in the back and in the

press source to it's put the pressure and entered into the by play that well then supplied tissue to the greenhouses. in the past these greenhouses had to produce the carbon dioxide themselves by burning natural gas. the use of recycled c o 2 means that they save a huge amount of the fossil fuel approximately the same amount of natural gas is consumed by a city with a population of $150000.00 people the greenhouses are the one who benefits maybe even the most they can replace the use of environment polluting natural gas by taking to 2 from industry so they are saving the environment saving a little bit. and they can you top of that to to grow even better tomatoes and better flowers. the roots grow is no longer need a combustion plant to produce c o 2. that means they can concentrate more on that

cool business. my family started 40 years ago and we start that they've been a small company grow a big big and now we produce in the one the about 40000000 stems. the company is booming thanks to carbon dioxide commercial greenhouse gardens realized this problem of gas can also be a valuable resource. businesses are there to make money and how do you do that by constantly producing more profit so often trump climate protection that's why the european union is established a cap on certain greenhouse gases that companies allowed to admit c o 2 in particular firms that produce more than their ship have to buy carbon permits is a quick break down of how the emissions trading scheme works here in europe.

how does it missions trading work. in the european union energy intensive businesses and other big polluters have to buy permits all credits for their emissions one credit allows a company to emit one ton of carbon dioxide. some firms need millions of them every year. brussels agreed to reduce the number of permits by around 2 percent a year to gradually cut carbon emissions in the e.u. . companies have various options they can invest in climate friendly technology to reduce emissions. purchase credits from another company that's already lowered its emissions and has more permits than it needs. there's a burgeoning market for surplus credits which businesses might buy or sell as they see fit. that's the basic idea behind emissions trading.

in recent years many companies have had far more significance than they need. that's kept the price down. 2019 not prompted the e.u. just start withdrawing those surplus allowances from the market. low supply translates into an increase in price and a bigger incentive to cut emissions. companies that remain big polluters might soon have to pay considerably mall for the privilege. that a lot of investigating themselves with not getting into the world's 1st major carbon market and the biggest the e.u. emissions trading system for those who did to early on it's proven to be a treasure chest the market got off to a slow start and stagnated for years after being introduced in 2005 but more

recently prices have taken off and you can now make a lot of money in the sector made reporter. went to see whether the rising prices really have made carbon certificates an attractive investment. 5 euros for years that's a carbon dioxide permit cost. then it suddenly shot up fivefold to $25.00 euros then the price just keeps on climbing and climbing but no not before hand i've invested in c o $2.00 permits. hi mr hu to come out of this hello you know enough to make me a millionaire so. what i know now could have made a millionaire out of you 3 years ago but if i had known it then i'd be one myself. so you're not a fan sadly not. analyzes the energy market for investors

and c o 2 emissions trading will probably keep him busy for some time. can see if it is the market is essentially a political construct gradually reduces the number of emissions permits in the long term the only way is up. europe's political leaders want to make the cost of a middling c o $2.00 increasingly expensive you pollute you pay for it $1.00 c o 2 permit or credit allows a company to emit one ton of the gas and the pressure is paying off the cost of a middling is rising as politicians gradually reduce the supply of permits but at $25.00 euros a piece are they still a worthwhile investment. of the union good in market based assessments of where the price will settle based on supply and demand tend to quote lower price ranges of 30 to 40 euro's a ton of c o 2 by 2030. 5000 people who view the system as

a whole ask what price do we need to levy to achieve the goals you set. and they quote much higher prices of $60.00 to $70.00 euro's a tonne by 2030. and from there you're not far off from $100.00 euros a ton. english don't we're not already dollars there's but i mean. that thought's certainly gets my attention. and investment of 25 euros today could earn me 100 euros in 11 years time assuming there's no change in policy of course. but hey mr vice welcome to the environment agency so should i buy emissions permits or not. emissions trading is an impressive climate protection to that also economically efficient. that if it's at all that's our main focus here as you can imagine we don't do find out. but we can talk about everything else it's. done by says professional titled as consultant for

fundamental economic questions of emissions trading and the german emissions trading unit of the environment agency he says c o 2 permit prices can only rise. yes now in 2019 we have to act firmly are the goals we've agreed in europe for 2030 need rethinking in our view they must be much tougher. and when things become more restrictive will emissions trading certificates become even more scares are not going to hold in this was the right emissions trading cover some 50 percent of european union emissions that means if we want to set our macroeconomic sights much higher than emissions trading will have to be tightened as well as one of. the governments want to cut back on c o 2 emissions then permit prices will go up at last to chance for me to join the club of the wealthy.

in europe banned in many places around the world in the last few decades flying has gone from being an expensive elite way to travel to the cheapest way to get from a debate but now for some people air travel has fallen into disrepute because of its environmental impact activists are calling on people to stop taking to the air and businesses are even getting on board my colleague louise osborne decided to try out slow travel is what she discovered. 14 and a half hours for changes let's go. i'm on a mission to find out more about the no fly movement and how it's impacting business and so i'm heading to the heart of the movement sweden the long way by train a journey that flying would take less than 2 hours 1st as the train to hamburg environmental activists like question have got people thinking about their contribution to the climate crisis and rethinking that flying happen sweets even have

a new word for its fleet of flight chain. emissions from flying make up more than 2 percent of the global c o 2 total. i really can't be we're getting to go on a ferry i can't believe but i didn't think we were going to but the train is actually going to go on the ferry. the train is less carbon intensive the ferry not so much but it's a novelty. much better than other places. 5 hours into my trip and i'm still excited. but now on the bus to copenhagen that feeling is starting to wear thin. the number of passengers traveling by rail in the e.u. is on the rise swedish national train operator s j reported almost 32000000 customers in 2018 a record up 1500000 from the year before. i never fly it doesn't work can't do it anymore what we do here he doesn't matter. we are.

all. of those old war it's not cheap birds. you can take the. flight but i don't want to i finally arrive in stockholm 2 hours behind schedule. here the no fly movement has given rise to business. tax from a stove meaning trained by. cation was launched in january it started as a facebook group and the number of followers raised in 28 teams from around 5000 to more than 1006 distances on as an opportunity in the tourist sector i think we have to be more like a little bit like the slow slow food movement be more press and focus more on the adventure or the trip itself and to be more. like

grasshoppers. so where everyone go there and it's destroyed the fledgling company that means offering group tours by train. marketing interrail cards and organizing conferences for training p.c.'s. and drains describes the firm as a social enterprise for them the business is not just about making money there's a lot of competition out there but they think their company stands out. there are some other actors trying to get into trains but they also sell plane tickets for example and we have this monthly interest in sustainability interest so it's for real and i think people want to support stuff that they think are the right thing. and travel costs have been kept low in the e.u. by the lack of tax on jet fuel and limited taxes on tickets among all the factors cheap flights in europe have shaped

a whole generation travel is now an option for almost everyone on the continent. for a full point 3000000000 passengers took to the air and 28000 almost twice as many as in 2008 i'm eating stephan allen from easy jet he says the airline has reduced its carbon footprint by 32 percent since 2000 that means as many people board of an aircraft the less fuel it consumes per person per kilometer we are all. to fly the most efficient aircraft in the world at the moment we believe we can do more and that goes for all airlines reports show that akram c o 2 was only part of the problem other missions are also harmful the last destination on my trip is governed by. my own horse and gave up flying 10 years ago. she's running a campaign to get people in sweden to pledge to do the same and 2020 but they only

have to fill the pledge if 100000 others sign up as well. so far she has 4 and a half 1000 signatures but i'm not too concerned because i think that. what this is about is that the people who sign up they have to feel engaged in this and try to people around them and i think. we come to because right now. to many people. is meeting a group of other activists who have gathered together to help with the campaign not everyone they meet is aware of the environmental impact of. sweets are among the most prolific. they took more than 59000000 trips in 2017. i think it's not about that people don't want to make sacrifices other situations we're willing to do so much i think that's. the problem that most people

politicians don't really talk about climate change in a way that makes people understand that it's just have to do. the bottom line. about 82 kilograms. less than half what planes on the same trip would have to. i can't promise to stop flying but i can say at least the trip has made me consider travel in the future. and what about what you wear houses. the last several years. can also be good for the environment is what. i'm sorry i just have to talk to my producer for a 2nd while we're no. fish so. i know that many of you think that i'm quite shallow but like most of you i do worry

about the planet plastic pollution for example. so i've been asking myself how environmentally friendly is my dress code you know what i dare say that this dress code is far more sustainable than that of your average activist. let me explain like all good suits this one here is made of 100 percent wool. if everybody in my office where a suit we could turn the heating down a notch in winter saving c o 2 saving the climate. quality suits hardly ever need a dry clean maybe once a year top's most of my suits are at least 5 years old and because they're all classics or wear them for at least another 5. qualities suits and

durable repairable i did just a ball in size and speaking of your ability. shoes. made from 100 percent natural material leather. practically indestructible and by the great little shirt. tied silk both materials that break down quickly. i know i know fabrics and lettuce are chemically treated and died i'm not saying that quality clothing has a 0 environmental impact but i can guarantee you this not a single shred of what i am wearing. right now we'll end up inside a fish. bowl that's while they're not fish. it is a classic too glad he's getting up to speed i'm ben fizzling from the main team

here in berlin and many thanks for watching concert. if you.
