much for joining in. welcome to don't hold back. a lot of people do that. it's all about saying it aloud. most would it be nosy, bailey good. everyone to king check out the award winning called called the called back even by french standards. belyeu is a special vacation destination and now a laboratory of innovation for going carbon neutral. incorporating the wind, sun and the car industry, tourism and individual mobility. here off the coast of brittany, an array of forward thinking individuals are experimenting with sustainable energy generation. but the transmission is not all smooth sailing. a one to a matic visual change could be wind farms effecting the seascape made famous by impression is painted clothes, monet in 1886 the needles. are i conic? imagine having those turbines behind you in the sea level,

we are sustainable and don't cause accidents like internal down. what does that have to do with quote monique to he's long gone? and won't be painting those pictures again or just just products and their value won't go down just because of a few terabytes. i don't think i said that they say the zip on 3 on the is that what we have a magnet in this and you keep the homepage, but our guess is what like it. if there is suddenly wind turbines in the way, once you put the islands for sustainable, the entries into electron mobility actually began 20 years ago. little wonder that french carmakers i know, pick the spot to setup a pilot project via it's mobilized subsidiary, a smart energy cycle. was installed in the vacation village, customize to the surroundings. let me quote with this as a micro grids based on 4 pillars. and for us, the solar panels convert the sunlight into electricity. yeah. the solar energy is

conserved by 2nd life batteries. discarded units taken from the cars, but still have sufficient capacity for stationary storage. often they know who sorta solar energy is most, if it's not used in real time. these batteries make it possible to store solar power to be fed into the grid for when it's actually need it to him at the home where, you know, he only, you all know the system also includes prototypes of e cars that can be charged up by directionally very same with this as a rental. zoe with a modified charge or the suitcase. then it, if you don't have what you understand, it's a naples stored electrical energy and it needs to be cited back into the grid and the on demand was under him. don't the whole value of his o offers on the move on from somebody, but as well. there's also a sophisticated computer program involved. it controls the facilities various

components in a way that ensures maximum efficiency when it comes to the solar energy available for the requirements of the picture, risk vacation village. so you can go to school to something you can set up and make progress like this anywhere, even with major industrial complexes, there are no limits. what we're doing here on value can be replicated at various places around the city. if you see those, you know, doesn't get the micro grants are as sounds, solution for an island covered. and cultural heritage says there's up on the he probably points out some of bells, best known landmarks, the subject of several books written by the local historian, music giving you the needle rocks of paul control formed by the sea. in the 6 weeks clothing money spent on bill you. he painted around 40 pictures and all 39. to be precise, just get up. i see all the new goals. i'll say no to the big lighthouse is our

mountain bought it. it's 70 meters tall. so which is enough to see the turbines are 184200 meters tall. and now we don't want that. all sounds on of that, but most islanders do accept a micro created like right now was local business man beyond me is among those impressed with the benefits sound. so it sounds like it's an interesting project also because it raises awareness of a question. we should all be asking ourselves uh, where does my energy come from? now he gives me, is the spokesman of a movement whose appearance are convinced that reducing energy consumption is the most sustainable option out there. most of the cars in his rental fleet and of course electric. but he sees far more scope for change.

which of a we don't protect the planet by driving because we need to restrict our consumption . but there's nothing to especially our energy consumption to consumers from put in . and if we can say in the future, i'll replace the fossil or nuclear energy. i've used by consuming the equivalent in sustainable energy to the dentist. when you say that doesn't work around an extra panel, i see the notes here. do we need to increase the portion of renewables for why at the same time? cutting consumption doesn't one thing i found on the notes here when you run to whom do you have 2nd semester? it's an approach that the mayor of the islands biggest community lapel link agrees with thanks to him. the police are now awesome going electric. most of the vehicles used by the local authorities at the replaced with a varieties so correspond to it's a better fit for our image and the best and it usually kind that doesn't have to be

produced in for default, our efforts are focused on saving energy wherever we can't do anything else you may or previously have the island clinics lead to vehicles turn to electric to they insure at home care for the 5000 residents across and 87 square kilometer area. but that's all old news for the director of the hospital. they don't mass, that video has always been a laboratory for all kinds of innovations to the islands characteristics. mean we have to be a step ahead on that. also, we're already making substantial use of drones for transferring blood supplies. for example, i see we see i'm to perfect that and we don't use environmentally harmful ship transportation on scale to to purchase on the tourist sector now also feature sustainable options instead of taking the big energy guzzling diesel ferries, visitors have the alternative of soft transportation on sale boats

the level and finally the before we talk about bio gases, we're focusing on an energy that's free and is available 70 or 80 percent of the time we finish putting you. we have to reduce our consumption, especially in transportation, was wondering this issue. and we can do that simply by using sale power for a single and see only what a journalist still then the news is also committed to the fight to lower energy consumption. she only drives an e car when she has heavy cargo to get from a to b. for her saving energy as a way of life fit the keyboard is to give to the it's a cultural revolution. consuming more learning to consume less without having a poor quality of life. busy and warm. yeah. so the concept that will be indispensable in the future. so do you mind useful sub

there are also some highly imaginative ways of saving energy on belyeu. the artist that this workshop create and listening skills to is all fastened from raw materials that their owners no longer want it to like. i collect all kinds of scrap and trash and use my imagination to turn what i find to do something new from. the law unfortunately not to imagine now going on here one most really i do my be to the environment by recycling waste. normally it's extremely costly on w contain, which will be the waste is put in containers. taken by boat to the mainland and disposed of milk and we create a different cycle in which the islands trash is recycled and we appreciate the opportunity to hold it. the way you can use us from the island has a range of different initiatives. fighting for sustainability in their own way, what they all agree on is the most harmful factor for the island best. and that

there was sold to me to having limited resources means we have to be particularly careful with tourism. when it comes to lowering consumption. there's far too much energy being used during the summer to suppress from the so me i see on the take on send me to is what do i need to assess and it's a hill here in the summer, all the cars and all the people come and get islands, that's stuff. it holds cheaper where you have to be the farmers and fishermen used to be the backbone is the economy. he pays only the official plan. everything was turned on its head to the bottom of the vehicle and now tourism is dictating things to say. so told the police, but that's wrong, but also the to everything's gotten too expensive. let's go to the appreciate the we like assume that the mass as of tourist to arrive and the peak vacation period are huge strain and our

resources on the 20. this is also we're thinking of extending the seasons so that the stream of tourist isn't concentrated on july and august. and this is where this i know project could prove invaluable. the resulting dramatic drop in energy costs means that loss beans can now afford to feed her bungalows after the summer. porchie this is on said we're going to extend our receives and when they say to walk through this year, we'll be closing on september 18th, next year. we'll try to stay open a lot longer and the pretests ask us to tammy say to, you know, since you all set with the system now up and running. we've seen our energy bill cut in half of the year of last season on the in another sign of progress. you can already tour the islands many sites of cultural interest with the help of the solar power source from the micro grid tear where history and old traditions meet modern developments. there are creative ideas galore for ensuring

a sustainable future. the sample of the legendary legacy of quote, monet and the needle rocks of pour control. and of course that history is used for tourist, excuse me, the main attraction of the and use an island you'd be coming and exciting tyler projects going to we've got it all here as a wind up to the sun, yvonne and sorta employee. i went to the board about 12, it could become a lovely laboratory, excuse me, kind of experimental avant garde for energy generation. on 1000000000 point you've shown danielle jane austin, assistant, who's on their shoals. as it hands towards a new age of energy use, the aptly named belly, little, or beautiful island boasts a remarkably diverse approach, which with visionary ideas and not short on controversy. but where would we be energy wise? if we didn't have the occasional bit of friction of the sustainable variety,

of course the you might see me. how much can we do simultaneously? multitasking these, the modern man. because if we do too much at once, we get it all wrong, mess things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage, humans and multitasking watch now on youtube, v w documentary cost about why does that? and i think a lot now i'm lisa, i'm on the the new host join us for an exciting exploration. and everything in between.

this is a video and audio production 5 d, w. i hope video will tune in the we are in the far north of mongolia. it's an icy and rugged region tucked away from the rest of the world. the climate here is extreme. temperatures can plunge to minus 45 degrees celsius in winter. this is the home land of the duca known as santano mongolian. there among the last nomadic people in the world to travel on reindeer away and shut us are on their way to see their brother who lives high up in the mountains to reach him. they must cross this.
