it is over pay and working conditions all that's all we have time for. but coming up next, a documentary series ducks on thanks and look a relative into the inner world of the conservative catholic sect. most of the day told me a lot of quote in the land for myself and the team. thanks for watching the world in progress. pop calls to everyone who wants to know more about the topic. the concern about this story is beyond the headlines world in progress. dw postcards, what do these do for fun?

via do gravitational waves squeeze outside. when did people begin getting high and laughing gas? how do i need drums for you to the beach? and what perfect kill football find. find the on says yes, most with dw science on the tip top 10. i know it does look like it right now, was this island might be the best island in europe. even the world? mostly because they've been sandy beaches or it's architect uh or year round. we're with the wow cool. because it's maybe the greenest island in the world. all the energy produced here is we use the reuse a lot of a wasted and a revising the struggling economy by becoming available for the running into

a lot of the all too familiar with sounding problems. problem is that a lot of places around the world are trying to solve right now. so how did they become the greenest island county? they keep it up and what can we learn from them? the back of their job to where it is. the other one is part of denmark. it lies in the middle of the baltic sea and about $40000.00 people lived there. it used to be a viking stronghold, then swedes, germans and danes, food over it for centuries. but the danes, one in the end, and the island has been there since the 17th century. bonham was never rich because it's isolated and doesn't have a big industry. it was one of the lowest income regions of denmark. most of the people here on the living by farming fishing or latest through tours,

or when the seas population started dwindling and tourism couldn't make up for that one home with a very tight spot. it needed a new to become the best island ever. or at least the green this island ever. they wanted to become more independent from the mainland seas money in the long run and bring more people to the island as tourist or as residence. the plan was so successful that the you would have gone home, the title of the most sustainable island in europe. of course bonham is very small, but many people around the world visit to see what they are doing here to learn from their success and their mistakes. so how did they do it? the 1st step was to reduce waste. the common problem with islands is that the waste can pile up quickly and can be expensive to ship out many islands, especially those with lots of tourists like bodily, heavily polluted with plastic and other trash and bone and lots of it on the island

. which used to be similar here to as you know, in the old days all the waste nearly all the waste was incinerated and all the results as what is guessing of in the and then smoke. this is play on your hands and he works at the local waste management company. but things have changed since then. he don't already have to sort the household waste into 6 categories and they want to upset to 12. and the waste that the recycling yard is divided into 4 categories to make recycling easier and more efficient. how does people react? basically, what are your thoughts as making categories? when you started this uh, 7 years ago, it was a lot of 5 of them, except for quite a few of us a moment and 35, you know, why was that? but now, you know, with the mic, scott, sense that they're supposed to show off the waste and the we tell them

a lot that it's not a waste, it's resources. with a bonus, everybody can come to the recycling center and take whatever they need before it. even needs to be recycled. which sounds super logical. what is illegal in most of denmark and a lot of other countries economy? if i need a toilet, i like pickens or yeah, and the different oscar my comic if you want to help you with taking them out. there's no problem. yeah. you're the one separated the ways to shift off the neighboring sweetie to be recycled. looking beautiful. many businesses unborn one also recycle their own ways so that it doesn't even have to make its way to the recycle like this fiber which is left over from producing rate. because this directly from the pharma you still have a little bit waste leaves and stuff like that which we had taking away also. and

that we have pressing into a pellets. which way he think it's saving money, so known it's to buy or look at. so amazon in this sustainable hotel, a lot of the furniture is made of wood that would have been thrown away shallow water as we used to flush the toilet. and to add a whimsical touch, this path is made from old glass bottles. but that doesn't mean bonham is completely waste. we somehow did this trash still gets lanfield and about a quarter of it gets found. what kind of waste is this? this is the house will waste. we mix it off the with the waste with this driveway, and it's on the fence in wood and, and we use it as a heat from the sooner it up to the district eating. and or why con disappeared, recycled? it could be we don't have some companies who can the take it to and we used to come back in 5 years, maybe 6 years, this mountain of a voice was the mux

a small the goal is to sort the ways so well that nothing has to be banned at the latest by 2032. that's when this blonds will have to shut down because it will be too old. the 2nd step was to stop reducing their own energy and become less depends on electricity for elsewhere. islands especially also independent on the mainland, even other countries, providing them with energy which can become expensive. up until a few decades ago, bonham's energy came from almost a 100 percent fossil fuels. but not anymore. we have a solar panels all photo voltaire. it's, we have a file gas system on the home. and of course also wind turbines on show, close this year, is this big specing for bond homes, energy provider. some of the solar panels would develop, especially for bond home, like these windowpane ones. many businesses send their organic ways to

a bio gas facility where it's turned into energy. most of the remaining electricity and some of the heat on home is produced by bonding wood chips. now we are actually using locally to environments. so our money is actually staying on the island, the older would use renewable branding. it is one of the dirtiest ways of producing energy. it's a lots of c o 2. that's why bond home is planning to use less of it. another hitch was the same problem. a lot of other places have people have very, very fond of where we're loop. i think we all and of course this is a discussion always when you put on wind turbines, you can really see them many island as were against windmills in their back yard. that's our local publication access. it will affect you just not to put up more wind turbine on show. we will put offshore the wind power

on, on file, but it's already full of offshore wind turbines, which are going to be installed a few kilometers off the coast. the island, we'll either get some energy off of those giant wind fox, or we'll set up a locally owned, smaller pock. until then all this energy still isn't enough to cover the island energy use. on average, about a quarter of the energy comes from an underwater cable from neighboring sweden. and on top of that, they faced a well known problem. what to do when the wind stops blowing and the sun stop shining, the energy produced in peak times needs to be stored for when non is generated. we're going to pull of a mess of energy storage capacity here. i'm moving, so what is molten sold? it basically is sole said, lulu milt, uh on, on putting in uh electricity. uh,

plus in electricity from the winter months when the arriving. and then we renewed in need energy and then we just put 4 to enter the increase team. and then we produce cheetham power. so definitely kind of contain a lot of energy for a long period of time actually. so how big is it going to be? is it going to be around to the top floor? so it's going to fill out this entire room, actually it won't be nearly enough to store all the excess energy. but if all goes well, the company building it wants to install more on a bigger scale a. so the original plan was to run on a 100 percent renewables by 2025. is that going to happen? do you think? definitely not. definitely not. i think would we, we, i think we will be very close intensive. i went into the system on the, on home, we have to fix land based transportation, not only of one home. i think that's appropriate problem. i think that is a problem in germany. oh, invest in our goal risk. well, actually like with this electric charging station that isn't as popular as people would have hoped. the around 20 charging station scott is across the phone lines,

which is not a lot electric cars are still more expensive than gasoline ones. meaning it's a hot switch to make if you're not the richest, the regions. once more of them on the streets, the bonham plans to use the car batteries to also store some excess energy which is already happening on a test basis with these electric cars that are owned by the islands municipalities . now the big problem is this very because it runs on marine diesel and is very just there's some discussion about hydrogen or electric engines which are cleaner. but it's still very early days. change can be slower than wanted, especially if you can't just throw money at the problem. that's why sustainability must make sense money wise as well. we have a lot of a texas in denmark on images. so of course, by every 2 of us, you can save. you also save money, it's very simple. we have

a solar panels on the roof and our system is something we use our residues from production to heat up the whole factory and simple things like choosing a bottle with less gloss and it's reducing weights, but also then reducing the amount of gas used or producing about an initial cost is maybe high else because you need to do some investments when off. so that's, it is actually cheaper for us to run the business here. and that's not always the, he says a no, a stronger these at all. people wants to do the right thing and the most squeeze things, but they have to be able to afford it. also at the same time. that's why a lot of the efforts here are co funded by you or governmental programs or a set up as experiments that companies collaborate on and invest money into. another way to convince people is to show why being more sustainable make sense? this is, you can, you can see it with the eyes when you were using

a recycling stuff and that's not going to prevent you. you can see that, you know, it's, it's good for the climb and rough environment. so of course, all of these as a service mean the entire island is super green, friendly politics, building technologies and missing funds can get in the way and delay program. but there's still a lot of things we can learn from this tiny island. experimenting away on the baltic sea, you can just copy what was done here and paste it any way. you can copy the core idea, which is make sustainability the easiest most logical and cheapest way of doing things. and way this isn't the case yet. we need incentives, like wrapping up the taxes on fossil fuels, subsidizing electric transport, or investing in experimental project like this one. you want to see? mary was raising all. we subscribe. we 1st videos every friday. the

survey of faces parliamentary elections. many have had a number of president to boot ships, governments for terry, and i'm democratic, criminal corrupt and the 12 who it carries and most of responsibility for violating since a country. united opposition is desperately hoping for a change of government focus on europe next, on dw, into the conflicts own, with tim sebastian. to my sense of the guys of war, america is still insisting, as well as killing to many palestinians. aaron, david miller was a former senior official or the state department for the dc, give israel tactics in bottles. and what kind of countries might too much from this conference to by the should be a pretty wide conflict in 60 minutes on dw,

the words people have to say, that's why we listen to every weekend on d w the, this is focus on europe. i reliable a welcome serbia is due to hold parliamentary and regional elections in mid december. the snap vote was called by the president who was under mounting pressure from the opposition. alexander village church has been an office in serbia for 11
