especially when viktor orban recently posted this image of a map of the former greaser hungry on social media group lol stupid yeah. 100 years have gone by since the international recognition of romania's borders be awkward to get the chain you much are ethnic on gary and citizens enjoy all the same rights and have no reason to be nostalgically dreaming up the old days what do you want to. treat will stand here i will agree with. that nationalist spirit is growing stronger on the remaining insight to. these energies sure rimini a nationalist forcibly taking control of a military cemetery were hungry and soldiers killed in world war one why bury the crown show hungary and south and we're romanians will rule this land forever. handsomest hunter demonstrators trying in vain to fend them off at the cemeteries entrance the police stand idly by while the remaining flag is raised over the cemetery. in contrast all is peaceful at the event in the carpathia and

the secular the long true meaning is ethnic umm given minority haven't succumbed to nationalist fervor yet they keep up their tradition. you don't have look it's our only thought time during the year but we'll never give up our homeland we were born here we live here we are the evil. eye to listen to and his friends are happy not to have to think about the new tensions between hungary and remain in that string of the competition because it's all about their horses sheer physical strength and skill and not political controversy. it's a sobering fact every single piece of plastic ever made still exists today in u.s. citizens produced 25 kilograms on average per capita each year and only

a fraction of that number is actually recycled the rest is burned or shipped abroad while a many see a hopeless heap of plastic he sees potential dutch man dave hakon's invented a machine that turns a waste into wares and he hopes his creation will inspire others to do the say. david harkins makes good use of the things we throw away in his workspace and he invents machines that can shape construction panels from waste design based on plastics or the like a little thing we made like a big part of it but another technique so we're going to use this for like i don't know maybe now we always more looking into decades and then sharing the line and hopefully it inspires people maybe to want to bowl maybe to make it into a lamp i don't know search for i was always very exciting as well to see what the community makes with the cakes we provide. cardigans idea is for everyone to be

able to recycle their plastic waste to themselves anyone can download his online instructions welcome to a new project plastic construction video today we're going to build a plastic shredder. the plastic waste is donated to dave and he lives from crowdfunding established by a worldwide community with some 300 recycling facilities baseball share dave hawkins and there was the as i'm. so friends. away muscle rust away but plastic last super long so i think because of that it's precious it's just such a long life but we use it to make very disposable items so that's also why we call the project precious plastic to show people it's actually a precious valuable material. recital and gives discarded plastic a new lease on life it's the idea for an environmentally friendly world. but we've still got a long way to go through own into the bin out of sight out of mind in the european

union a total of $26000000.00 tonnes of plastic waste is thrown away every year less than a 3rd is even recyclable for the most part it shipped to countries in asia. clastic ways decide their incinerated or simply pollutes the environment. from 2021 onwards the e.u. wants to. implement tougher rules and regulations like compulsory recycling of textiles the right to repairs on electronic devices and a radical reduction of the use of non-recyclable plastic packaging. nella spokesperson for the e.u. commission for the green deal believes that production methods must change you need to make sure that we have less waste in our households in our industry one of the important elements for example is the product design legislation that we would put forward next year if we make sure that these products are we generate less waste can be used for longer can be reuse and so on. but for dave hawkins that's not

enough as plastic objects are not all the same. so i got something for you there come home because i just wanted to ask you why you can buy the stepless they get what you can use which is for cycling and killed a lot of things are starting. here so you have different types of plastic basically show you have a lot of different ones and a lot of it is actually recyclable. but friends if you have a bottle cap there's a different plastic number transparent than the foil so you're going to need to separate the different materials into the different plastic but some products like lots of space are fact. bit more annoying because it has a foil on the inside with aluminum and i'm a perp rest all of this is almost impossible to recycle because they will use everything together. in separates the different plastics from one another which

costs them time for industry that also costs money but it's not always easy for manufacturers to avoid combining materials they often need to use different kinds of plastic. there's no point recycling existing plastics we need to use plastics that are biodegradable we no longer needed plastic was never developed to be recycled and the current strategy on plastics is by no means a real solution. it just leads to much higher costs of course. ground guard recommends switching to nylon. using nylon for packaging would make sense nylon has some on rival barrier properties groceries can be packaged much better with my lawyer and it's endlessly recyclable. however nylon is expense of which is why it's not used more widely and organic materials have nothing on cheap plastic dave hawkins knows this which is why he's busy working on his

recycling machines to make our waste a valuable commodity during the coronavirus pandemic an additional problem with plastic has arisen this is something people use a lot of the when i was they who by the law will have a lot of pressure of this opportunity but they don't. these face masks become residual waste in our incinerated. in germany alone there's a need for up to 12000000000 masks dave doesn't have a solution for those that he sees the way we use facemasks that's reflective of our behavior more generally just to use a lot of plastic to produce it but we don't realize that we're actually also making a lot of of mass. even though we don't want to see it so i think we're in europe it's more about us or our mindset about consumption that needs to change a lot. dave hawkins is clearing out his workspace as he's moving to portugal to start a commune of sorts its purpose recycling of course. what's

the secret to happiness well the answer could depend on where you live for years denmark has been rated one of the happiest places on earth a small country is even home to the world's only happiness museum and the danes have plenty of reasons to smile they have free health care education and they take amusement very seriously. so you know other things in copenhagen take part in a bizarre ritual. kristoff is 25 minutes of married yet. for some reason it's buddies tied into a street so obviously right like this is baptized with a generous portion of cinnamon and beer. having fun in life is part of what makes the dames happy. but you know it was just producing the fruit. it's what.

you need to serve so this is a little but but the heaviness of the danger is the unknown i don't know there's no specific answer i can't live my life we're just enjoying life. and. the danes can't really explain why they've been among the top nations and surveys for years now either other northern europeans like the finns are also highly ranked . of course there is an ebb and flow of emotions but somehow you feel a special flare in life so there's a lot of smiling and celebrating no matter if it rains or shines. the happiness museum in copenhagen is looking for clues as to what makes someone happy and what makes that dana particular so happy was it quickly becomes clear there are many factors that cause happiness including simple ones. and stick to one of the things i experience differently here on

a daily basis as opposed to living in germany and in berlin are the faces you see on the street and nobody here is ever deserving of a scowl and when people smile at the cashier in the supermarket or the cleaning staff that has an impact on society as a whole musician. the museum offers some surprising insights earning more only has a positive effect up to an income of $4000.00 euros a month an interesting fact for those in search of happiness we're going to know you can't look for it you just have to catch the right moment and realize when you're experiencing. in denmark time seems more important than money here it's common to take time off to care for the children there are less hierarchies at the workplace and everyone is on 1st name terms. working well is more important than long hours at your desk. and said business. is more important than working hours. and denmark working hours can be accumulated it's just another piece of the puzzle

that helps you find the answer to true happiness. well there are even happy with coming in 2nd place to finland on this year's world happiness report thanks so much for watching focus on europe and do let me know your thoughts about this week's show on twitter by for now.
