first, our world is in finland to see how a small place in northern finland managed to become europeeco—friendly town. ii has slashed its co2 emissions by 80% and is producing ten times more renewable energy than it consumes. this community project could be an inspiration for us all, but such rapid change is not without opposition. as the push to save the planet gets even more urgent, one town has already cut its carbon emissions by 80%. we have been not waiting for the world to tackle climate change. we want to do it ourselves. ii, in northern finland, is one of the greenest towns in europe. powered by 100% renewable energy. the town's children already play a role in energy—saving ways of living. people still hunt and fish as part of their everyday lives. we have a trap there. we hope they are big pikes, but we will see. but could there be a cost to being europe's greenest town? this is one of europe's most eco—friendly places. this small town of 10,000 people in northern finland has cut co2 emissions by 80%. elsewhere in europe, the average rate of reduction is less than 20%. this
