miss the answer, the question again, the telephone and the sustainable focus. 60 minutes on d. w. what secrets? why behind being discovered new adventures and 360 degrees and explore fascinating world heritage sites dw world heritage 360 yeah. now the how does a long weekend every weekend sound? the idea of a full day working week is one that appears to be gaining popularity with workers

and bosses alike. in the submission of made will ask if it could ever become the norm. also coming up wind farms kind of low of bills to enough to in my back yard in to be my guest locally. so its lithium will it end germany's input dependence? i've spaced junk? is it time for an extra terrestrial clean? so they've gotta be 19, pun demik. first a revolution in flexible working with many more of us now allowed to work from home . so that the next major shift to come in the form of a show to working week. belgium has become the 1st country to allow anyone to do 5 days work in for if they want to kind of really make society's more productive. well, let's take a look as to what day stops at 6 am at this painting. company in northern gemini, after a briefing the painted heads of the construction site. a year ago,

the sun introduced flexible working hours, including a forward to a week, the boss, jessica hudson hoped to dispute attract new x one. how do you know if i switch from the, you know, you know, the score, you don't need a letter and you can glaze all the windows from inside. and there's a water stain on the staircase at the office and press and we're working from monday to thursday. and folks really like that, it gives them a long weekend. many say it's like a mini vacation, and it's res. productivity fridays, we're never really productive. i that farm easily put a p. i used to be on site myself and realize that from 11 am onwards, productivity plunged, and everyone's thinking about the weekend. um, the whole mood of the company has changed for the better to not. and she's also found new employees like close the lease link. she tends to stay on off to her

internship and already knows which day she'd like to have free to to talk to. so i think i actually prefer to have mondays off. i don't like mondays so much to move the counsel route to make the full day week possible. the whole office tech to reorganize the way it worked, but more that has to become more efficient. this included investing in new equipment. i mean, i think we went digital a year ago, meaning that the guys and gals used i pads, the materials are booked over the i pad. it's more and for it, but since i've been doing this, we're much better organize to talk. i need to get this even getting to visit if we can manage by improving the organization of work through the use of digital tools. it's all software, hardware and artificial intelligence to work is productively and fewer hours while maintaining the same level of prosperity. then we're on the right path in, in the last 200 years, have shown that this is possible, like, this is a movie,

is in 1825. the work week in germany was 82 as low with industrialization. it progressively got show to 1956, so the introduction of the 5 day week which remains the norm today. and still there are exceptions following a sales. some also make a volkswagen introduced a full day week back in 1994 working time. so reduced from 36 hours to $28.00. wages sank by 10 percent, but all employees were given. jo guarantees preventing 30000 layoffs ending in 2006. did working hours go up again at volkswagen. in gemini, the average. what week looks like days an 8 hour day, 5 days a week, and one wide spread models for a full day weight. people work 10 hours a day. yeah, to reducing what times to 32 hours

a week brings even more benefits as a bushy study should have 59 percent of employees involved with less stress, but the end of a trial 71 percent hard reduced. that was a bit and i so i felt like they were less but not the end of the trial. similarly, so they were using sort of constant measures. yeah. anxiety, fatigue, sleep issues as well. vital, decreased while matches of mental and physical health improved as well. the $61.00 companies that took not even sol productivity increase, so most planned to stick to reduce to working hours. but even if anybody is honda has to put in 10 nowadays. he still has a big side, but no, i don't have much time for my family during the week a few minutes, but we have lots more on fridays. i can make them breakfast. and so i can plan other things and do housework, which frees me up to spend more time with my family on the weekend itself. and

that's really nice. this is especially on sites aspect for an exemption for another aspect is that society profits from afford a week because people have more times that they don't have to spend earning wages. mr. malone, i buy something, but it can also lead to, for example, many more people doing volunteer work. that's why we got up and then something that benefit society to out. and just as all of us will, if you try to use their cellphone, feel free to get these painters joined. this company, not me because of the hours they can no longer imagine working a 5 day week suspect, or it's not an option because free times price let's, let's put it that way. are really so if i look back and compare us, i'll definitely stick with the systems as to the well here in germany, something we could do with working a little longer. and the little honda is the country's wind funds, the building out of green energy infrastructure is proving far from 3 is

a one thing standing in the way is the famous name be local is who when confronted with new development, say not in my backyard, but with the right incentives come minds be changed. a staggering is 37 wind turbines generate power on the outskirts of the town of dot assignments sucks any on house. local residents like like of china. i've gotten used to them. his grandson doesn't even know what life was like. without them we strolled those up so they don't bother me at all. and we sit outside a lot in summer. it's no problem. i put it in his neighbors feel the same way. they've been to the doesn't, don't we benefit from the turbines being that and we all think that's good. sounds good as it's just normal for us that that was mr. vin, it's great that the wind turbines are here to find is, uh huh. 120 kilometers. know if there's a ton of ludo that switch us $44.00 to barnes the less popular here. resident tonya

shoulds complaints at the ruining of view of the country side of yvonne. i live with what were on the sides because of beautiful landscape. it's gone. a great view that we have out here in the country was taken away from us. that's what on somebody else, and i'm like tricity prices have risen to antonia shows, doesn't profit from the locally produced wind energy. she has to get her electricity from elsewhere and had provide a double the price per kilowatt hour. someone would letters. i'm serious. yeah. revenue, especially since we have wind power on our front doorstep, and that's the benefit from it to them and monthly monthly, that next stuff on up, everything is getting more expensive and yet we're not getting anything. it's a real shame does is what this does auto. meanwhile, bucking dot assigned things a quite different a residence, a nearby communities profit directly from the wind pocket. here it allows locals to receive electricity for a relatively low price, $0.30 per kilowatt hour. that's one reason why page i should say decided to switch

energy providers. his previous provider raised the price by almost $0.60 per kilowatt hour efficiency the dish. and it's definitely a relief because a lot of things have gotten more expensive, but my income hasn't gone up much wizard on the wind tug also has other benefits. a percentage of the profits go to the local organizations. the mer was pleased with the income from the business taxes and also sees other benefits for residents. the bill, the oldest ones, the citizens in our region have the opportunity to directly profit from the wind parks as the due dates of the time they receive yearly interest payments of at least 4 percent off. yeah, i know. yeah. even more when the wind blows harder since when the vent each bit of mail. businessman hines which bottled heads of the project item because he recognized at a time as a good location for wind park in the 1990s. even though residents had that doubts

that almost have to reach the home at all, we had to deal with the skepticism of the local government and consider how we were communicating with them. we also asked ourselves how they could benefit from it and telling us what does that cost us to rethink the advantages on, which is why we decided on this capital participation model, not gonna cut you off. what's the word of the project success has gotten around the head of the gym and based weld wind energy association, paid a visit to dot assign. he knows 1st hand how important the support of locals has to be for the energy transaction to succeed in the largest system. if people can identify with the project and are invested in it, then something may become individual advocates for when the energy themselves one to search. since they're more involved done, it's easier to find solutions for a parent problem. so then if they were apathetic about, or even opposed to wind energy policy, if the housing dollars or the time wise is we're going to operating on the matter of kind of who to also hopes and investors and residents can come together. especially since new when fox could be

a financial boone and his constituency. in the past investors took the earnings is when in the end, we were left with nothing to show for it to him. i probably put up to him and that must change in the future. what's an ethical unless i'm when pox i have great potential in germany. now those who run them can be legally obligate to to involve residents and communities in the process. but the tanya shows all of that is to light and our electric cars are also seen is crucial to a green, a future, but they are transporting with them. a whole range of problems to one of them is how to source the metals needed to make them lift the essential to the batteries. provides just such a quandary is production is consolidated in just a handful of countries with australia. and sheila, mining the vast majority and although china is only the 3rd largest minor,

it processes the majority of what the other ones pull out the ground. well, this is bad news for europe, which has no major home ground supply. the scientists here are trying to change that this well runs more than 3.5 kilometer is deep, allowing the room some of which have found that to reach the surface. once here, the heat is turned into electricity. the head to avoid con energy explains to a new employee how the g o sample talent in, in time binding plots. and h works. yes, the size of it here, you see the big motor, which is connected with the shaft, with a mechanical part of the pump and couple that pushes the water upwards. you can also see the insulated bibles, which run towards the back. there's hot water in them that we've been bring it to the geothermal plant to produce power. at the same time, they're working on

a pilot projects to extract alisium out of the woman brine. you have one, so we've secured areas in which we can obtain lithium a line or you can get me from these areas alone. we would be able width 20 or 30 projects an hour to extract enough lithium from all the passenger cars produced in germany and c. p companies. this white, alkaline metal is then founded as lithium hydroxide in neil straight in gem and companies. now, they're experimenting with special filters that we can show you due to the competition. starting in 2025 con energy hopes to extract $24000.00 tons of lithium per year from samuel volta enough for around $600000.00 callback choice. in size and then of course the greatest potential that we see at present is for batteries for electric cars also as well as becoming independent of

other countries on this one. that's the specific potential for us here in europe within i'd say the saga, gym and e commerce resources around 60 percent of its lithium needs from australian mines. another 20 percent comes from salt water lakes and today many in this region support becoming less reliance on imports. but they've also had bad experiences with the g o semo plumps here. designated, such as those are the cracks. it's why here's the 1st level. the 2nd one up here you can see the 3rd we i'm to see a we've pointed out that earthquakes are still occurring here. ok before and quite a large number on to y'all, shawn, i have considerably more and in time then in lawndale, on even at a low production rate for the $4.65 leaders per 2nd in time to non dollar check from and 50 leaders per 2nd in london, this one here. yes. but that should be raise significantly with lithium extraction

. something new bar holes are to be made. and then we expect considerably more quick system. yeah. it seems the enzyme plant hasn't triggered more quake since 2009. but what if they stuff again, it is associated with some damage is a curb. they'll be smaller ones to facades, or individual homes come to they can be repaired and compensation must also be paid . that's completely clear of the homicide. on the plus side, it's a domestic source of energy or domestic raw material, so it sustainable is the energy is renewable, and it's a raw material source close to home. it can be easier for 2 men casteel on to securely believes in the success of gym and lucy in mining and has invested 50000000 euros involved con energy and other. com make us have signed purchase agreements for this vital rule material used in factories not to book on energy. still has a few hurdles to overcome the house was

a long since product development times or one challenges tyson can need. the authorization process is, must be shortened significantly so by the team so that we can begin production as soon as possible, producing hate for people as well as lithium for the automobile industry complete. so the automobile industry, another aspect and it is gaining acceptance in the population, jackson tends to be physical. it helps that this is a 0 comp unless the end project, because the white gold is extracted from some of which i used to produce heat and power. it's viewed as a renewable energy source once codes, the water is pumped back into the ground. but as we try to clean up our act down here on the ground, scientists working out what we should do up the space junk is a problem that's only going to get worse with many thousands of stuff. the lights set to blast off into a little bit in the coming is so can we clear out the ones that we no longer need

perhaps a media hemphill reports. how often do you think about space? probably not enough. considering how much we use it every day. we rely on the thousands of satellites up there to keep on more than lines running smoothly. but there's an explosive threats on the rise in space to satellite stuck in space, being to be signals and phone calls around the well. they facilitate google maps, gps, and the internet transactions stop. bulk is disaster planning, minute tree surveillance and, and traffic control. they help predict weather passions across the plumbing. they provide the dates on the oceans. i don't have space thinks that overwhelming. and that's just a few examples using we have a problem in the race to set up central lights. no one was thinking about future sustainability up in space. so how much dunk, if we put into all of it, and how are we going to clean it up? it's tempting to see our space environment is this romanticize floating powered ice

filled with nothing but actually low as old. it has never be more crowded. 2020 tube or a cool reco. it's the space launches with mold in 2000 spacecraft coming into old age. but it's not just functioning useful checkup that thousands of dead and broken satellites overall coupons and general bits of mine made space debris, a flying around the earth at high speed 2. and the switch of collisions is becoming a huge problem with all of the things speeds of up to 28000 kilometers an hour. one tiny screw colliding with a spacecraft can have the impact of a 108 in the ocean if it possibly possible. it makes its way back and fragments into thousands of tiny pieces, image and not, but as a scientist researching polluted environments. now the same as seems the space debris that they can come by, they can explain and spouses a tiny piece. this can also be traced back in space. once something surface smooth

spa hard, it's trying that to me. we've been launching central lights since the 1950s with no plan or system for cleaning anything out. because shortly the great thing about spaces. that's so much space. well, funds for today with more than 90 countries operating up there on an estimated 17000 new satellite set to be launched by 2030. and we could be on cost to creating a super jump space highway. if we do anything that's going to eventually meet to some areas of us, open, be unusable for future generations on the system. now the environment we have polluted with waste. the good news is there was some big tech play is working to make us space race more sustainable for my apple co founded, steve wozniak has a company called private tier. the company is tracking, i have a 27000 laundry pieces of space. debris in real time to try and stop explosive collisions from happening the arrivals. leah labs,

which provides some of that deputy trucking service status, sending out more than $400000000.00 collision. and let's to center lights every month. but it's not an ideal fix. there a hundreds of millions of space jump pieces whizzing around that are too small to track. also maneuvering your satellite to avoid a collision costs thousands of dollars each time. but then there's another cost which is the science cost. young's uminski is a space deputy analyst for the european space agency. so in our case, we have to switch off an instrument on board to perform the avoidance maneuver. this means a huge amount of data that this last. so if you're a scientist and you want to to observe this specific region on us to measure the values thickness, that's not going to happen. now. what about if we drastically reduce the number of satellite don't just getting on? unfortunately, that's not a quick fix either because every condition in the all of it generates a brand new cloud, every causing even more collisions and eventually a cascading ricochet effect. notice the catalyst enjoy,

and we definitely want to have with that image and not the team at portsmouth university have been comparing space debris to plastic trash in the ocean. but i've been the case saying that it needs to be a or some trustee nations or industries, the planning on using a little bit all using us to get to sit around a table and say, we need to decide how we're going to use this area sustainably. we've seen the success of the highest east receive, but has taken in 20 years to come to an agreement. and now we need to act quickly to us a little bit before more damage is done. to physically clean up a piece of space junk it has to be d over to it, which means grabbing it. i'm pushing it down into the atmosphere where it mostly bends up on re entry, like a shooting stop. as you can imagine, that's not a cheap operation. the spacecraft remove emission, especially if it's the 1st one, and we still have to develop that technology. it's in the ballpark of $500000000.00

that you're paying space agencies. first, actual removal emission will be launched in 2025 by a switch. don't have the quote, the space, the crew space solution is essentially like a tow truck if you want to pick a just the company c o. we have a big cropping system in front of our satellite. that makes it possible to pick up a large piece of debris from orbit. the 1st challenge will be launching into the right bits of space to catch the piece of definitely, rather than just colliding with it. we have $200.00 people with the subject of 28000 kilometer per hour alone, our speed with the subject, and then capture rate in an environment where there's no friction and they'll grab a diesel everything floats. once this is down, we will, we will stabilize the object and slowing down re introduce it into the r sacraments here, where the objects will go. now if the cost of these exhorted be done,

then it's really difficult to find the funds that you need in order to limited to these things. professor giuliano earlier from the survey space center is working on a lower cost space junk removal concept. at the moment the judy still out on which one the best solution is going to be his mission removed. every child a clean up such a light with a spine, a light net, to entangle the piece of floating metal. i'm actually hoping another bit that even these tests trust best thing cost about 15000000, new res depend based on to australian is hoping to talk costs by considering the clean up process right from the start. before they launch, we'd like them to put a docking plate on their satellite. chris bucket these team has developed a magnetic um that can attach to the metal plate. it'd be similar to having a hitch on the back of your car, so that a tow truck can come and grab onto it and pull that car out of the way. all satellites should have some kind of capability. us authorities recently brought to

in a new 5 year room for such a light speed to oversee it, up to completing the emissions the space guideline to how to enforce. unfortunately, there is no space bodies that you can send and find them or do something about their destroying on one teeth or the funk such a lights. we found me science has also been an environmental dishonest from the old it that'd been demonstration or test made by the us in the early stages then by china then by india in the late fee by rest of the impact of those weapons on the space environment. is worse than the loss of the satellite itself, with a number of central lights and all that set to increase for followed by 2030. the risk posed by space junk is increasing rapidly. the technology as such, especially for the remove emission, it's almost there. so we can do something about it, but there's political commitment that is needed to buy these machines. so

if we want to main, hey, not connected, weld as we know it, governments, businesses and scientists will lead to see with the we think how we treat us space environment that's going to be one heck of a spring clean, but it also gives a new meaning to the phrase vacuum cleaner. back down here on the side is all that we have time for on this edition of made the, the, we use business magazine. if you want more from us, you can always find lots of extra episodes over on our website, c, w dot com slash business will be happy to see that. and until the next time we catch you here, take the,
