discovery subscribe documentary to a dairy farm on a floating platform in the netherlands is the 1st of its kind worldwide and more on that later in the show. everyone and welcome to another edition of your acts with me, your host negatively. today we are focusing on creative sustainability projects around

europe. let's take a closer look at 2 more examples. but in the finnish capital, helsinki is the nation's 1st, 0 waste restaurant, the southern german city of tribe, or leads the way in the fight against global warming. but 1st people who live in cities long for connection to nature, the concept of a bio fill. the architecture tries to satisfy this desire includes building with natural materials, bringing light into people's homes as much as possible and connecting a building's occupants with their natural surroundings. while the freebooter apartment complex in amsterdam was built, according to this principle, we went there to check it out and ask its residents if it improves their daily lives. would

instead of concrete curves rather than hard edges, a style of architecture that loves life. the result of building, according to the principles of buy and feel like architecture. jacka more garcia now is the architect of the freebooter or book an ear in the depths city of amsterdam. one of the key elements of a by you feel equipped approach is to create a direct connection with nature and we created god by using, you know, natural materials that, that simulates or are connected with, which is really an experience of the 2 to nature. wooden slats run around the entire building, ensuring optimal lighting conditions and privacy. the sounds movement was monitored for a whole year, so to slats could be aligned perfectly. another fundamental concept of prior for

like architecture is that interior and exterior space should merge into one. as soon as we, you know, we wake up in this, in this room, we can already open up and i have a direct connection to the terrace and through the natural of the water. the freebooter, a special construction method, only cost about 10 percent more than a conventional 2 families move here each with $120.00 square metres of living space . they enjoy a special indoor climate and a house with close to 0 energy consumption. thanks to state of the art technology especially like this room because the sun around the house your new day and at the end of the day it ends here and the light is very beautiful in this room. it's not

just the light that special. the house appeals to all the senses. when people come and visit, almost everybody wants to touch this part. it's graphed, it's moot people love it. and the concept isn't only finding favor in amsterdam. these days greener buildings are built in many places using wood and other natural materials. owners and architects try to integrate the surrounding nature into their constructions, even if not always under the label biofilm, like architecture. garcia and i was already thinking on a much larger scale. as with this current project, my toe, since it involves living units that can be extended will it has so many benefits. there's a high demand for those kind of the buildings who are really foresee there in the

future. there was, there would be more and more buildings designed would biophilia approach. though freebooter residents have no doubt that their quality of life has improved since moving in to learn to live changes, spaces, change, and so much more curvy ness. so the whole experience is completely different. i think more calming, perhaps, and more play play by a film like architecture provides a green and holistic approach to living space and architectural concepts with a future. so there we have a good example of future living, but what about the future of our food?

now more people than ever are producing food in cities to promote locally grown products and reduce transport distances. for example, everything in these baskets was grown right here in the middle of berlin. well, urban farming is a concept that began some 15 years ago to unique projects in france and the netherlands are pioneering the way when it comes to producing food, closer to home, growing crops on the rooftops of paris in the future. calm and kharaj all 3 of 31, very crowded, standing on the ground, the floating farm in the dutch port city of rotterdam. it's the 1st of its kind in the world. they cannot get seasick, but we studied so and you would see after the fitz unary and the university days

started, if they can get seasick. but no, they said it's ok. so as you can see, the cows are fairy and relaxed and their fur is fairy shining. so death means that they feel ok. they gave a lovely milk and a great amount of meal produces about 600 liters of milk out of the sun. it's self when she's milk. one goal of this pioneer project is to produce a sustainable use possible ottawa to reconnect the citizens with food production citizens most. don't have the clue how much energy and loft it costs to produce a glass of milk. and it's important to reconnect them to avoid that they throw away difficult ferry waste from the city is nutritious food

on the menu, a group of pictures and golf courses, as well as bridge from local bakery to the electricity for this project originated in the united states we were involved in a broad very badly so often there was no fresh food on the shelves any more. everything. so note came in or out the city, and then my partner here realized what's going on. we are in deep trouble. the projects in rotterdam shows how we can work with marshall to transport distances. the french capital,

paris proving this is possible with an area equal to 20 projects in the world is taking shape on the roof of the train for paris is a city with the city administration has launched a program on about one quarter of the space over 20 years have done an impressive of many regional fruit vegetables and without resorting to pesticides or they were growing that the 1st method is the roots are completely out in the open air, sprayed with nutrients in a closed system through the sims is a 2nd system is hydroponics. we have horizontal cutters aligned with the coconut

pine substrate. as an arrow polemics, the nutrients reach the plants. water cycle of a family. during the peak growing season, the rooftop called home the fresh fruit and vegetables. this figure is set to increase by the time the project reaches completion and 2022, in order to supply this is already the case in iraq today. several times a week. electric vehicle is used to deliver hundreds of liters of milk. but milk isn't the way in designing and the fella being the next farm on the water next to this one. and that will be a farm with food to go farming, but also with chickens. so in that way, we create a kind of floating forward strip over here to put the demand for local and

healthful products is what's driving the organic way. along with the fact that today, over half the world's population lives in towns leave, it'll be 70 percent by the 23rd. and that presents a challenge to society as a whole initiative, concepts like the ones in paris and rotterdam in the cold restaurants all over the world produce millions of tons of waste every year. and now much of it is actually avoidable and it cost the industry hundreds of millions of euros. well $1.00 restaurant in finland aims to reduce its waste output to basically 0. the owners do this through creative cooking and recycling. so how about an ice cream from beer residue? here's a closer look. all of the dishes here appears with sustainable ingredients and

without states. that is the concept of helsinki. similar restaurant to me means 0. waste. none 0 was finland's 1st restaurant 3 european cooks founded it in 20181 from serbia, one from spain, and one from portugal. they continually come up with new ways to avoid waste on the waste product and feed them by the cost to morrow. and after being us, most of the times on 95 percent of the times being compost to make us different 46 course meals are created in the kitchen. among today's dishes, grilled romaine lettuce with black currents and a spicy fish sauce. it is served with sturgeon on marinated

tomatoes. the food is also a feast for the ice. responsibly produced ingredients the dishes become an epicure . ian experience in the process of growing a star, jones, the bread you describe, it is a lot of byproduct, males are sturgeons, but they are perfectly usable for our consumption. it's like a really beautiful means, like a really beautiful place. but normally, traditionally they just like being put on that way. the planning the menus for is there restaurant can be quite a challenge. always bearing in mind how to prevent waste of any kind our memory of the produce a hostile for where i'm the ones that month into the produce or what do we want? so the producers inform us on what they have available every week. 3 times, fundamentally these are all strong national grown coffee grounds. the cooks turn

the mention mushroom nuggets with sugar syrup mayonnaise. the restaurant's interior, the employees clothes, and even the utensils are all part of the system. the concept. everything is made from recycled materials. the idea of restaurants without waste has moved spread to many other european cities for this preamp is germany's 1st 0 waste restaurant to serve exclusively beacon dishes made with locally produced ingredients just says in finland, anything left over to the restaurant composting machine to be turned into a soil substitute and returned to the farmer says there's 0 waste,

a coffee can be chucked carrabelle flavor. our goal is not told it's recycled, it's to, to reuse and kind of reduce the usage of the new energy to create something new. so so for us, the recycling is the last part in our operations. 0 waste, the uncompromising endeavor to make 0 per cent. the rule rather than the exception . and if you want to see more reports about food and your favorite recipes, then be sure to check out our you tube channel galaxy's stories. doozie has the smell of my using the best chefs with their fast chips, from meat dishes, to begin diets and all the recipe secrets. europe's diversity is
