english and in many other languages as well. yet still you understand the songs or say wow i think that's cool and somehow you get the message behind it because music is such a universal language the world over. his feel good song has a serious message it's about respect and acceptance and not answering with more hatred and i really don't care that you want to. do it with. i don't want to dare. to get angry when you hear that those words just don't. mean it was important to me. for the song to have a message yeah i still wanted it to be upbeat and one of those songs that would turn negative energy into something positive that's why i wrote a song that simply puts me in a good mood on the moment i don't feel that the euro vision song contest finale on may 22nd will find out if song also puts the jury and the viewers in

it's just here and today i'm on asparagus pompe those 2 brothers. here a little sparrow was grown on 800 acres. as soon as the 1st 3 words appear germany goes crazy about white asparagus at the met this continues until the end of june. during the season we germans in approximately 2000000000 stocks of what it's for us and i to go and get in a moment and so how does this vegetable develop its fine taste. i'm eating tim client and he knows everything about asparagus. he's run the asparagus and adventure farm in the state of book for 3 years now every day he looks in at the farms on storage to check the quality of the shoots. in this. process very close close because this talkative person can see i heard

that you can see whether those burgers as fresh are not if you rub them against it or if they squeeze then it's press right because it is very easy. asparagus has been planted for about 30 years now i have come to find out how this fine vegetable is harvested. we use this to cut the asparagus although it's pricks not cut. the soft and sending ground is ideal for asparagus it starts the sun seed and the shoots grow straight as arrows after through the ground why i despair of this is harvested when the tip starts to show. so i'll give it a try to. get a nice run the way inside the growth if it's coming out it's getting close and you see. becomes green this way we have to control 2 times a day all the feeds because we want to have to watch the.

germans eat 1.7 kilogram of asparagus every year this is true that's what i eat in there we. really do now have i was very against what comes next i think maybe we should pay you back of course. now the putin challenge your chef right 123 go. get em done but i broke one so i went on to say i know i was out of the game but i was pressed. this is the way to eat asparagus we have asparagus with sauce on this schnitzel and potato and this is. a thing that if it's

progress was but that was bread crumb wrong but this would say and also potato now i will use this period asparagus to show you how i make it the only thing we got to do is cut off the edges very thin 3 centimeters are now. now i will need up my pant. i love to cook on gas some olive oil i will cut the asparagus and i'm. in with the asparagus. to get a very nice i romano i use a little bit of garden. now i have enough time to cut the tomatoes i will just cut them and. red onion fresh basil for the tomato salad as i'm going. and of course some on the right. we

almost done a very quick break with this in 10 minutes to finish it up i will roast some hazelnuts to get this excerpt. into the plan. b. let's asparagus is known and law for it's my own battery taste and when it's fried and a pen it is why as a nutty flavor. limited lemon juice for the asparagus. and now. and a little bit of parmesan on top. asparagus picnic salad with an italian twist. my sunny day on the asparagus problem has come to an end i learned how much effort goes into growing asparagus for me asparagus means bring and i really hope that you enjoy my recipe to.

awful it trend was that is especially true for specific the monolith and i had one too many not my best idea of a better than the here in germany we called it focal here which means short in the front and long in the back some people just called it a night yeah but no matter what you call it it's back. it was a hairdo that polarized like no other before some loved it others despise their. hair cut short on top in the long in back in germany it was called bull. he. said now the folks who hear that are mullet is back thanks to international trends in style icons like the french singer chris of christine and the queen's american actress scarlett your answer and other celebrities like singer iana barbados and even her fellow pop star miley cyrus from tennessee. when the folks who hear the

beauty salon open in 2000 it's a part of his hairdo was completely out a monument to bad taste. he took it over from the previous owner she chose the name tongue in cheek to go with the salons out of style interior deco left over from the 1980 s. . never would i have thought the mullet would have a renaissance now there are days when we've done 5 or 6 military cuts and we had to laugh we thought now this is really getting extreme. remote it originated in the 1980 s. and at the time was all the rage. the famous more heads were for example german pop singer named. british pop stars kim wilde. the front man for the family culture gugu. and even bought a lead singer for the irish group u 2 it also found its way into the sports world appearing on such prominent heads

as out of american tennis champion andre agassi a one time trying topper much like german soccer player and later national team coach rudy. you know what i think during the pandemic the mullet has slipped back to the 4 maybe it's because people have been cutting their own hair at least the part they could reach the front area they. couldn't reach the back very well and before you know it you've got a mullet. a flurry of online tutorials are buzzing around you tube and tick tock purporting to show people how to cut the do themselves at home most tremendous practical advice during the pandemic for many beauty salons are closed or only open the customers with negative coronavirus tests. dennis quotes but too has noticed an uptick in requests from all it's the star berlin hairstylist has trained the likes of english actress helen mirren and south african film star charlie's theron today europe max producer daniela schulz has stepped forward and agreed to receive

a mullet over very own words and you know this that i recommend a hybrid of the shaggy haircut and the classic mullet short on top and maybe with some much shorter bangs in front and longer on the sides and i think this is a variation that super for styling yourself at home. for the shaggy or layered mullet the transitions are cut much subtler but it still takes some getting used to . the minute i'm not all that sure about it and not wait till it's finished at the moment i have mixed feelings. after the bangs come the sides here dennis crisper cuts off nearly 20 centimeters about an hour later the deed is done you're up next producer daniel schulz is now sporting a mullet as well it will take a bit more getting used to because it really is short in front and long and back and really quite a lot has come off he says this long i'm hoping you took not only 20 centimeters off but 20 years as well as. the mullet living proof

and of bloom in construction that's putting the world's 2nd stores at risk of depletion. cars computers cell phones airplanes you name it we may take them for granted but these everyday products require vast quantities of natural resources to be produced in. 2020 alone trade in mineral resources amounted to some $1.00 trillion dollars by 2025 that figure is set to rise to $2.00 trillion. the wrong materials are often extract it is part of huge mining operations getting your hands on one ton of pure metal means boring through hundreds of tons of rock the environmental impact can be dramatic with large swathes of land destroyed the same 'd applies to sand according to the u.n. every year in estimated 50000000000 tons of sand is used in the construction

industry. a may 24th 20043 man attack this and environmental activist on a beach in mumbai. she had tried to stop them stealing the precious side and. since that day these types of attacks have just gotten worse it sounds hard to believe but reports from india show it's home to the world's deadliest sand matthew criminal gangs that have been generous alive activists to death and run of the police officers with trucks. but why are people so desperate for sat and is it really so valuable. sound is everywhere the tonic on the road the concrete in your house the glass of your windows and the silicon chip in your photo we have more time each year than any other material on the planet and it's stood the test of time. but given that one 3rd of all the land on earth is classified as

desert you'd think fans would be easy to get hold of right. even desert countries in the middle east import sound from as far away as australia and canada the world's tallest building of them 830 meter skyscraper in dubai that was built with sand for more than 10000 kilometers the way. that's because of the type of sound but fueling the world's construction boom doesn't sound just too smooth for most concrete because the greens have been polished by the wind it's like the difference between running your hand over these around hazelnuts these rough marks there's not enough friction to make it strong enough to build instead people take you to reach so i'm from rivers beaches and the sea floor and this can't be replenished on human timescales so. we know that demand for this resource is going to continue to grow and it's already causing problems in many places in the world. this is louise gallagher author of a landmark un report and 29000 on solving sound shortages now scientists always

complain they need more data but when it comes to sound they really have no idea. second most consumed resource after water and we don't know where it's coming from and what the impact of that are we got the nature of the problem. but what they do know worried researchers in 2017 model that global demand side is growing much faster than what's easily available. in the world would need to make more sound find new sources of it or just use less otherwise it will run out. this is a big problem because sander the fundamental building block of modern life. in concrete has been essential to the global construction boom as people in emerging economies move to cities people around the world are building more and more india has become the 2nd biggest cement producer of the last half century singapore has built artificial islands that have increased its land mass by

a quarter and it did this with massive amounts of sand important. from its neighbors. this time crisis isn't even just a problem of scarcity the industry is small scale and badly regulated and that's hurting people in ecosystems today. miners take sand from the bottom of rivers in the sea for low paid and without oversight there are reports of child labor from india to uganda. is no protection there's no. the river bed is getting deeper so they have to constantly you know go. back you know they develop. health complications but of course it's illegal there's no support at all right. karen perez an independent researcher who's written a book on solving the crisis she cites a report from an environmental group last year that counted 193 people who died through illegal fan mining in india in just 2 years when we removed. huge

numbers of quantities it's bound to happen and these impacts at the moment are external. costs of. mining adds to climate threats like rising sea levels and dropped it erodes beaches destroys river beds and makes landslides more likely an estimated half a 1000000 people living along the river will need to be moved from collapsing river banks partly because of sand mining in india has pushed species like the carol crocodile to the verge of extinction. so how can we sold the global crisis. experts say the 1st step is cutting the amount of concrete we'll use that could mean using more efficient concrete mixes with less cement or replacing it altogether with alternatives like timber around the building denser cities means less concrete for each person. then sat needs to be re-used when buildings are

demolished the waste can be crushed and mixed into. cement rubble can be used to make building foundations and rate there's already happened in some places where new building materials are expensive germany for instance recycled more than 2 thirds of its construction ways but in countries like india and bangladesh it's less than 10 percent are you taking that approach we're taking into account the fact that this material is not. able to us in. infinite terms for evermore you know all the available as you would want. the 3rd thing is finding and certifying sustainable sources of sand take green it's increasing the world's supply of sand as its high street melts that's already delivered 8 percent of the sediments added to the world's oceans each year it's hard to believe but global warming is speeding up that process experts say that mining greenham sign could ease the pain of quitting concrete for the rest of the world but it would have to be done together with local communities and without hurting the pristine arctic

wildlife and that brings us to the final point those solutions just help fix the shortages of side but to protect people and make sure governments also need to regulate the industry and enforce rules to stop the illegal sound trade we can bail it out so that they have plenty of examples where our ability to construct does not is is not dependent on we can decouple and so we can still build and allow for human parity without destroying our system. what is a circular economy. goodbye to that empty to go on the way to work farewell to that pair of worn out shoes the out of date smartphone so long. our daily lives are dominated by a relentless round of production and consumption. in the process we waste valuable

resources squandering finite commodities such as oil gas and precious metals. throwing things away creates a lot of trash and harmful emissions. we could look to nature as an example it's cyclical plants grow and die their nutrients flow back into the ground and the process starts again. can we create cycles in which today's products become tomorrow's raw materials absolutely the principle is known as a circular economy. the goal is to preserve natural resources reduce carbon emissions and avoid mountains of trash. most modern electronics contain rare earth elements and precious metals but while broken tv's can be used to make new tablets other products such as batteries are full of chemicals and valuable raw materials that aren't so easy to bring back into the cycle separating all those

parts is costly and labor intensive. but the process works well with p.t. bottles $500.00 trillion of them are houston each year worldwide. is an artificial resin made from crude oil and natural gas the cycle starts when p.t. bottles are produced next fill filled put on to supermarket shelves and sold once the contents are consumed the bottles are placed into recycling machines. and recycling centers they're turned into granular it which is used if the basis for new products such as new bottles grocery bags and football jerseys and that's how 100 percent of the recycled p.t. bottles end up back in the circular economy mass production is also an issue in the fashion industry some 120000000000 articles of clothing are produced annually with the market growing all the time worldwide the average consumer buys 20 articles of

clothing a year in germany it's over 50 that means one new garment per. some brands bring out a new collection more than once a month and people just keep on buying so what can be done embracing the circular economy could help and that's the topic of our new series. ngugi shirt new pants under their chief shirt a new hoodie. and maybe another pair of sneakers on special offer most likely all these new garments will end up in the trash sooner rather than later just like $92000000.00 tons of textiles every year only one percent of that gets recycled the true price so fast fashion. between 200-2015. clothing production meanwhile the amount of time used in the news for

actually decreased by. this sorting facility in eastern germany takes in a lot of unwanted clothing but here it's treated as a new resource every day worker sort of to 200 tons of items based on their condition style and type of material it's one of the largest facilities of its kind in europe garments come from all over the world through in-store collection and recycling containers they're either sent to 2nd hand shops or sold to recycling firms to create new fabrics some $500000000000.00 us dollars could be earned every year worldwide even if the clothes industry would shift to a circular economy. valuable resources abound in our clothing and. it is it is it would be a shame to not reuse allies these review resources we are creating value again because we are identifying items that do didn't have the demand of the

customer who previously owned it anymore nonetheless there are other people who are demanding these types of garment. and that's how the value is created the need for more recycling is growing too fast fashion now. is partnering with mother. from a prevent based initiative called circular fashion it's seeking to move the industry towards a more sustainable bottom we're dealing with also very valuable product kashmir for example. to identify by simply touching it and this is in a way is a showcase for what's about to come with regards to material recognition because this we can identify however when we're dealing with various mixes. we need more precise information find a future is a bill be relevant is it like 80 percent 90 percent full because the recycling thing for a much different quantities if you know it's expected this is one of the percent

will. combine materials which have all 80 percent so that the output of the recycling is really usable for the inspection industry and. many of the items that end up here are no longer wearable around 60 daily right now most of that goes to the automotive industry but it's impossible to utilise the full potential of the styles while sorting everything by hand this is where the technology developed by a. colleague comes into it so. this is actually intelligence or think sation just a replica scanner and through to scanner as soon as a garment comes to the table with an idea. and we get all the products specifications and with this product and we can calculate. the best case. workers still have to decide whether the item is wearable or not the rest are

shown on the screen truly circular products will contain information from the whole . well you change. the conventional textile industry is resource intensive it relies on oil chemicals and 93000000000 cubic meters of water every year the difference in a circular model starts at the very beginning of the product. it's all about from the outset from the design principles ensuring that you are eliminating waste and pollution but you are keeping products materials in use and you are generating. take dying the conventional approach uses water and chemicals one reason why fashion is responsible for 20 percent of the world's waste water. companies different its facility in vietnam dies polyester without process chemicals or water . just to die that's only one t. shirt so if you look at it he said it will be under 50 aegis of water if ever you

need to die. this is what you say if we don't use that. they work with reclaimed carbon dioxide instead fabric is loaded into the dying vessel c o 2 is added and brought to the right temperature and pressure only pure dies or yeast with no additional chemicals needed clean diet is currently producing around $10000000.00 readers and died fabric a year that's not much compared to global demand but hopes to skyrocket production as interest in this a stain that will method grows this is also. to the rest of the apparel industry that also for the consumer and. this uses are there and start to buy them. it's the same. there are solutions it's not only hours there are more i think you're one of the fun for the solutions so let's this everybody help to make this

world a cleaner place with resources becoming more scarce many businesses are reconsidering . waste in a circular economy clothes are designed to be worn for a long time after that intelligence solutions can ensure the recycled for maximum benefit the transition to this mentality is slowly getting underway. led. by. ok to cheat. this week's global team lives in the dominican republic. and i am away and my name is wesley i'm 16 years old and i live in the very own con
