relocated just as the migrants and refugees are pleading for help so too are the residents on the island many of them want them out of the country for good well it's a crisis that has been brewing since the count was erected 5 years ago it was originally meant to house 3000 people but as more and more people arrive from turkey the population exploded life went from bad to worse in the crowds and unhygenic conditions with the outbreak of covert 19 what was supposed to be a short stop over has now become a miserable existence in the mediterranean and some fear they may be trapped there indefinitely. baby emmanuelle is just 3 weeks old she was born in moria her parents say they fled from the congo to europe in hope of safety and a better life but what they found was hunger thirst and homelessness just

10 months i was disappointed because the european union could have helped us after all this time i spent 4 days no one is taking care of us what are they thinking how can they abandon us the european union 2 i don't know what they're doing is there because even. days after the fire in the morea refugee camp chaos reigns on the island of lesbos families like the mollies are left to fend for themselves thousands of refugees are camping on the hot asphalt the greek government promises hell but it is yet to be seen. scenes like these showed just how great the desperation is. when the 1st deliveries of water finally arrived there were riots and some refugees were injured we do what we can the governor of the island explains but he points out that the fire was a catastrophe with the message lesbos has been left with a huge numbers of refugees for too long now he hopes things will change. for

lesbian people and for myself it was in a tragic way it was a good thing because. something that had to close coupled with this tragic way i'm very happy that we didn't have any people who lost or in uganda people but still it's a good it's a big progress. the inhabitants of lesbos don't want it to be an island for refugees any more they repeatedly set up roadblocks they don't want to 2nd moria and say the refugees should leave their island my rehab so my docky lives in moria their teacher experienced firsthand how her neighborhood became radicalized at 1st many welcomed refugees but then the mood changed. to get all over time. things happened. there were thefts and the refugees burned the olive trees for firewood. yes
5:34 pm
then public opinion changed. he. said. unlike many in her village maria up so my doc is still has compassion with the refugees she and her friend donated food to be distributed to them but they both agree that it can't continue like this. you must. all of more totally disappointed. as this is all these years we've heard talk of sympathy and support and more we've come to the conclusion that the only thing people are trying to do is make greece and especially the islands of the east a g.m. and a location for a permanent refugee camp. the refugees don't want to be cooped up in a camp again either but continue on to the rest of europe again and again they demonstrate on this post now the end patiently and increasingly desperate. for them

the island has become a prison from which there is no escape since a corona virus outbreak in the camp many have been living in fear. 1 that is the. force situation for did if you would you really don't have to follow the words or live in a thing and when it does freedom freedom. attend city was built on a former shooting range in 2 days the authorities celebrate the temporary camp as a great success. many refugees are skeptical that they'll be stuck here too for years others have no strength left but let me 1st most of them do it but winning again. i want to go in because the situation is very bad it's very. i have children and obvious that. it seems a 2nd to moria is on the cards something neither the refugees nor the islanders want to see but the e.u.

area after the 1st made war their region ceded to many. but for many the connection to their old homeland is still strong. next to the romanian and secular flag there's a hung jury in one. eventual family from a nearby village has come for the contest many of their friends from hungary aren't here this year coronavirus restrictions prevented them from crossing the border. it's a bad feeling before a lot of our brothers from hungary are now the powers that be a forbidden at all. it's very important to us to maintain our connection to hungary. for some 100 ariens the loss of territory after world war one remains a national humiliation over a century later and viktor orban is right wing populist government has consciously stirred up these old feelings even suggested that the treaty of tree and on which

5:46 pm
here we live here being that big of. a to listen to and his friends are happy not to have to think about the new tensions between hungary and remain at 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 is said this is 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 waste into wares and he hopes his creation will inspire others
5:47 pm
to do the same. dave harkins makes good use of the things we throw away in his workspace and he invents machines that can see the construction panels from waste design based on plastics or the like a lot of things you could do with we made like a big part of it but another technique so we're going to use this for like i don't know. now we always more looking into did techniques and then sharing it along and hopefully it inspires people maybe to want to bowl maybe to make it into a lamp i don't know search for us always very exciting as well to see what the community makes the case we provide. carvins idea is for everyone to be able to recycle their plastic waste to themselves anyone can download these online instructions welcome to a new project plastic construction you know today we're going to build the plastic shredder. the plastic waste is donated to dave and he lives from crowdfunding he's backed by a worldwide community with some 300 recycling facilities they all share david
5:48 pm
hawkins enthusiasm. so francis dropped away muscle rusts away but plastic last 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. recycling 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 their plastic waste is either incinerated or simply pollutes the environment. from 2021
5:49 pm
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. nell a spokesperson for the e.u. commission for the green deal believes that production methods must change. 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 waves 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. that's only for you there come home because i just want to ask you why you can what is still less they get what you can use which is recycling and killed
5:50 pm
a lot of things are starting. here so you have different types of plastic basically so 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 than the transparent foil so you kind of need to separate the different materials into the different plastic but some products like let's take a piece of bark. bit more annoying because it has a foil on the inside with aluminum and i'm a purposed all of it so 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 in recycling existing plastics we need to use plastics that are biodegradable we no longer needed plastic was never developed
5:51 pm
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 i long 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 given. how ever 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 of valuable commodity during the coronavirus pandemic an additional problem with plastic has arisen this is something people use a lot of them oh when i was thinking by the law we will have a lot of pressure of this opportunity to get. these face masks become residual
5:52 pm
waste and are incinerated. in germany alone there's a need for up to 12000000000 masks dave doesn't have a solution for those but he sees the way we use face masks that's reflective of our behavior more generally just to use a lot of plastic i think there's a lot of 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 that so our mindset about consumption that needs to change a lot. dave hawkins is clearing out his work space says he's moving to portugal to start a commune of sorts its purpose. 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 happy as places on earth a small country is even home to the world's only happiness museum and the danes
5:53 pm
have plenty of reasons to smile they have free health care education and they take amusement very seriously. knew nothing of the things in copenhagen take part in a bizarre ritual. kristoff is 25 minutes of married yet. for some reason his buddies tied him to a street so obviously right like this he's baptized with a generous portion of cinnamon and beer having fun in life is part of what makes the danes happy. to have our own little sisters producing. it's one. of the services. but but the happiness of the day is that i don't know there's no specific answer i can give i would just enjoying life. after. 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
5:54 pm
. 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 that is action. the museum offers some surprising insights earning more
5:55 pm
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 for businesses. is more important about 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 show on twitter by for now.
