so now of next is our documentary deep sea green explaining the ocean. so i told me a lot of going well and thanks for watching the the name is and the whole bag said loud. thank you so much for joining in. welcome to don't hold bad. a lot of people do that, it's all about saying it aloud. as would have been nosy bay, like good everyone to king the healthy award winning called called the called back

the vibrant habitat listening place of loan in the mediterranean sea saying this amazon and jeff are up to coming to us exploring modem, lodge styles, to amy and admitted to alien jenny this week on dw, the you know, it doesn't look like it right now, but this island might be the best island in europe and even the world. mostly because of its sandy beaches or its architect, uh or you around were with us. oh cool, because it's maybe the greenest island in the world. the, the energy produced here is we use the reuse a lot of a wasted and a reviving the struggling economy by becoming available for the running into

a lot of all too familiar with sounding problems, problems 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 the other one is part of denmark. it lies in the middle of the baltic sea and about $40000.00 people lived there. used to be a viking stronghold, then swedes, demons, 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 under living by farming fishing or latest through tourism or the one

that these populations started dwindling and tourism couldn't make up for that one home with a very tight spot. it needed a new plan 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 residents. the plan was so successful that the you avoided bonham, 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 the 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 bali, 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 with 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, oh, yeah, and the different oscar my comic if you want to help you with taking them out. there's no problem. yeah. you for the one separated ways to shift off the neighboring sweetie to be recycled. looking beautiful. so many businesses on board also recycled 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 is 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 use 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, disappear, 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 mom sort of were supposed to be mux, the smaller the goal is to sort the waste 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 chain from almost a 100 percent fossil fuels. but not anymore. we have a solar panels all photo voltaire. it's we have a bio 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 were developed, 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 whole, the wood is renewable banding. it is one of the dirtiest ways of producing energy. it's a lots of c o. 2. that's why bonham is planning to use less of it. another hit towards the same problem. a lot of other places have people have very, very fond of where we're live. i think we all and of course this is this discussion always when you put on winter events and that you can really see them many island as well or against windmills in their back yard. that's our local politicians actually said, well i was structured is not to put up more wind turbines on shore. we will put

a offshore the wind power bonham's. how about is already full of offshore wind turbines, which are going to be installed a few kilometers off the coast. the island will either get some energy off of those giant when fox will set up a locally owned small in a park. but until then, all this energy still isn't enough to cover the islands 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 stops 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. that includes theme, 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. or if all goes well the company building it wants to install more on a bigger scale. and so the original plan was to run on a 100 percent renewables by 2025. is that going to happen? do you think that's not the not? definitely not, i think but 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 on home. i think that's appropriate problem. i think that is a problem in germany or invest in our 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 called are still more expensive than gasoline ones. meaning it's a hot switch to make if you're not there, which is the regions. once more of them on the streets, the on home 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 . not a big problem is this very because it runs on marine diesel and it's 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 glossing, it's reducing weights, but also then reducing the amount of gas used, of producing a bunch initial cost, this may be high else because we need to do some investments when off. so that's, it is actually cheaper for us to run the business here. that's not always the he says, and as long as these adult people wants to do the right thing and the most of these 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 setup 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 reciting stuff and that's not coming up with them. you can see that, you know, it's, it's good for them to climb and rough environment. so of course, all of these as a service mean the entire island is steve agreement. friendly politics building technology isn't missing. funds can get in the way in 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. um, we subscribe. we 1st videos every friday, the

into the conflict zone with tim sebastian to mom's sense of the guys of war. america is still insisting, as well as killing too many palestinians. aaron, david miller was a former senior official or the state department. what does he think of israel pratt fixed in the bible? and what kind of country? by too much in this conflict to bite, i should be a pretty wife. come pick the next. on the one small step for a robot vacuum. one joint leap for exploiting the ocean floor. but this time a research team will study the possible risk 1st. in order to minimize them, we have an open to get it right before we even start. is this true nature conservation, or only green washing? deep sea green in 45 minutes on

d w we. it's got some hot tips for your package. the zip code is spots affinities. check on some great cultural memorials to be w, travel the 2 months. and so the guys of war america is still insisting, as well as killing too many palestinians for the administration is also on the pressure itself. this time from an unprecedented number of its own officials. the members of the democratic party protested yet this advisory support for the war. aaron, david miller was a former senior official of the state department because the timing is good for the president. if this were playing out in october of 2024,

i think it would have a very.
