2:11 am
total amount needed for the project. and the blue gong shows where we are at the moment flour, but it moves to the right. and when we get to the far right, it says we're done. some of the project is funded. it's longer comes and thousands of dollars on the script funding stuff and how to send his wife have invested a total of $4000.00 euros through better, best spread over 6 different projects. ideally, bill receive up to 8 percent interest for them. investing in this way is ideal, is that the release quantity of course, gets good for the environment and the climate towards the end of the last but not least point is also for your own la elizabeth, answer your contracts. it's a great feeling to know that your money has invested wisely, good distance, and just helping to do something good for people and the client. and when did chemo ask, where the support olga digman has arrived in kenya. the company burn is located in really room northeast of the capital, nairobi. this is where they produce their innovative stove production

2:13 am
environmental awards for concept. right, so this is a, this is our main bound warehouse store are still here the stove that already saved 6900000 tons of wood from being cleared. the burn needs, new capital. proud investing can provide people invest their money overall longer fixed period of time. with this capital the company can expand, and at the end of the term, the investors get their capital back with interest. but it's not without risk. if a company goes bankrupt, the invested money is usually completely lost to protect against the experts. always recommend investing smaller amounts in different projects for and has already reached this crowd funding goal for its initial project with better best
2:14 am
a win win for investors. and the company is now began a new crowd funding project to expand in to even more african countries, the large with every euro. every german investor who invests in all projects can save c o 2, the investment support companies that reduce c o. 2 and you do some good with it and support the african companies each. coker can reduce c o 2 emissions by up to $2.00 tons per year, which is roughly the amount of c o 2, a german household produces annually for electricity and heating.
2:15 am
in germany, an entire municipality is investing in the wellbeing of its citizens. sonya is my dad's while you're here now for your 1st climate training. and my colleague here will give you a little introduction today and must flush that deanna boatman is a climate trainer. she was trained for one year by city council and how to make munster households more climate friendly from cooking, the heating to shopping it cuz you're only going to get to hand out like this one in a moment of. this is the training so cold in that would be great if you could bring it with you to the next meeting. it's a kind of to do this already. my reminder that your request disappeared to this project is the 1st meeting. the participants are a mixed bunch teacher, fatty and rem, cuz expectations are high. one about 20, the expectation that i'll get my ass kicked of it as the saying goes. and those things that i already know i can improve. i'll be more likely to finally do. do i have to think about some kind of steel helms at 7?
2:16 am
jenna bulk men is here to help. she passes on everything she has learned in her climate training to the participants. she works on a voluntary basis and the climate training is free for all. my gosh, all that knows a thing or 2 about how to achieve a more climate friendly household. she owns 20 waste shops in munster, specializing in environmentally friendly alternatives to ordinary household items. and you know, shampoo box which is really shampoo pressed into solid form the whole christmas thing. you apply it to like say, and if he's life or small changes in the household with a big impact in a model experiment wants to residents. we're able to save around $2.00 tons of c o 2 per household in one year through climate training extrapolated to all households in the city. that would be the annual c o 2 emissions of around a $170000.00 cars. this is not finished stuff,
2:17 am
we've got to do something. next thing that we come to night climate change, animals and something just it has to be done. and it makes sense to the local authorities to take the range of it. and because they're in a position to reach a lot of different people, guns can see to proceed and a pencil and supervisory all, all the threads of the climate training come together here in the coordination office for climate and energy for clint. go for sure. okay, okay, let's move to the point. the state of the projects climate train is let me know when to munster has been a pioneer in municipal climate protection for decades and has received several awards for its ideas. medea's pack is the head of clinico, and he has big plans instead of municipal directives, he wants to encourage citizens to become active themselves through projects like climate training. he's doing the same with the cities, businesses, but couldn't be a bustle. what can you do to contribute to c, o. 2 reduction of us and how can you change production processes of vehicle?
2:18 am
how can you save results is on we provide advice on such topics and the companies are usually very grateful to because of course they can't be expected to have this knowledge and a completely unrelated. and 2nd kind of. busy for example, at this glass and mirror or company, it starts with a bit of detective work. energy consultants marshall student has examined everything that consumes energy and considered what could be changed. he's taking a magnifying glass to the entire company from basel satisfied those, and from the base year 2014, we had about $9750.00 euro is an energy cost per unit here. how many hands were now in a constant? 7800 seen 1000 off to one of us. that's a cost savings of almost 20 percent of the new pellet heating system. thanks the company, almost 2000 euros a year and heating costs pellet instead of gas heating. just one example.
2:19 am
the energy audit, which company boss and go naked, men had commissioned, identified one of the companies biggest energy gas alerts this table. it needs a lot of compressed air pressure. it comes from age generally so that we can move to gloss the surface here. nothing would work without a pressure on that this costs money was clear about the immensity of the cost effective was $1.00 of a large expenses that we weren't aware of. the mirrors and glass can be extremely heavy to move them, they are blown upward. and however slightly over the table as a result of the audit, the machines are no longer controlled centrally, but can be switched on and off as needed. one of the many savings measures
2:20 am
recommended by marcel steer with impressive results in um, so the costs have been reduced by 30 percent of the funding starting with over $11000.00 euros and electricity costs per year. and we're now at 7500 year olds when i don't know what else to hit the number of speak to themselves, young. around 90 companies from monster have already opted for the free initial consultation. all of them were able to save cash, but also c o 2, up to 20 tons per company. the city is on a new power. turning the economy around for the common good is a state goal in some countries about a 1000 kilometers away to the northwest. for example in scotland. what, here's the flanagan and sharon and ross have set up in this small warehouse is part of a much wider change. because in scotland, the economic system will fundamentally change in the future. according to

2:23 am
a place for sports fans without the cost of an expensive fitness club. the women's foundation run, the facility itself on like a private sports club, the income flows right back into the project at the same. so basically most age fairly, just the top 2 in the little pines. so if you spend 2 at most age, the money's comp shop, tidmore said he doesn't wish more sage, and it goes on to future in front of the development of the site. the women's initiative is already working on the next project. a new community center being built next door. the idea was born when the old community center had to close and the village lost its meeting place. planning took 10 years and now it's about to open. there is even a theater hall for performances, for example, by the initiative supplier. the project received over 1500000 pounds and funding
2:24 am
from the state. and i was in the front of the next comes from the scottish government of governors, the funds and for the center for the for that one of the same time. and for the same sort as well. and just through a different and funding things i'm unable to apply to me. the plan is to spread the concept of the wellbeing economy throughout the country. the political scientist catherine tr, back from the organization, wellbeing economy alliance is working towards this in glasgow. an international project was launched in 2017 here at glasgow university, a group of academics and politicians from around the world huddled in this little room, talking about forming an alliance, a group to partnership that has eventually become known as the wellbeing economy, governments partnership. 5 countries have joined forces to align their economies
2:25 am
with the common good. in addition to scotland, finland wells, iceland and new zealand has signed on. catherine has also been advising the linwood initiative for many years, this building, but the work behind it. and that's the organization that people behind to just embody what a wellbeing and corner me is about. because it's paper same, this top down imposed economy is not right for us. and we have bigger goals than that. and we're going to roll up our sleeves. the new community center also has a small restaurant to so that local residents can eat well and she blinked. in addition, the cook trains, young people, so they gain skills for the job market. and the good just keeps that circulating just give some money here and then it sparks small businesses and it just says, yeah, beautiful virtual soccer. thank you for katherine. true back. such initiatives make the difference that business and politics have until now,
2:26 am
barely considered. because in most countries, what they do for the community is to measure pain, white smile. if people are coming to a sense of what she makes kids pay full child, chatting to a friend on the sidelines having a coffee supporting someone who's maybe going through a tough time. none of that will add add up to g d p. but all of that makes such a massive difference to the quality of the community and people's lives in the sense of whether they can co that's why this well being economy in scotland wants to measure not only finances in the future, but also whether children are growing up happily out, just society is education, environmental protection, and much more all this should be accounted for. interstate balance sheet. these new indicators will be another component of the scottish economy in the future. lynnwood has become a confident community with prospect. and the football pitch is just one part of
