Youre watching your news from berlin thanks for joining us. Sometimes books are more exciting than real life. To read. It all. What if there is no escape. Ritualised. Germany was st. I know
nothing of the jim well i guess sometimes i am but i stand up in which is that the germans think Stephen Turgenev Culture of looking at the stereotypes the question but if you think the future of the country that i not. Yet needed seems to take the most drama day out to me its all about ten oclock news im rachel joins me from the german sunday w. Post. Didnt have to be shipped top way across so it has a low Carbon Footprint common base on time family are always talking about c o two emissions they want to reduce that comp and footprint they believe that to save the planet they have to start at home. Coming days are her husband entering the rehab it can and their three daughters have calculated that just by sitting on the sofa they can do a lot to reduce their Carbon Footprint by the cut were not using any c. E. O. To at the moment were not flying anywhere driving anywhere buying anything were not consuming anything. But they cant spend their whole lives sitting on the sofa. Its the sort of the day babies and her husband have to go to work i know who is five and me to whos three have to go to kindergarten and nico who is nine is off to school. They all lead busy lives but theyre still taking part in a special experiment theyre one of ninety households trying to reduce their c o
two emissions over a period of one year a project conducted by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact research. Thats what are you doing whats going on. Rain or shine the only form of transport possible to get to work in school is the bike. Driving produces too many Greenhouse Gases. Wont. Even take a bike if its snowing or i see them so long as its safe for the children. Lets go girls. Once the kids have been dropped off and he continues on to work he does the same in reverse in the afternoon. If you took the car three and
a half kilos of c o two would be produced per day. During basies speaking with some foreign journalists about her experiences during the experiment. But. My husband is rather interested in measuring and im really impatient i say ok we want to cut by forty percent we want to reach the climate targets all households participating in the experiment are trying to reduce c o two emissions by forty percent compared to the german average last year. Six students and of course this means making some tough decisions. Kids dont want to write. Its difficult. Especially with consumption because for example if the kids want to take a dance class its also measured as consumption. And of course you can say emissions
go up when my kids go dancing but it calculates of course they need to heat the gym they need to light the gym the trainers need to go with their. The family is always trying to figure out which activities they still want to participate in of course theres no question that the girls should stop dancing the idea is to reflect on what can be done to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions and making compromises. There. Is so. Its harvest time for the potatoes are ripe for and theres also some Spinach Carrots rocket feet route into herbs fit. For a lot of there are some here. And heres one exactly you can take someone put them in the dish Hang On Meeka you have to be really careful. Gardening is also
a way of reducing the familys Carbon Footprint i can feel it oh i think one. Good. Luck to have big mining is. The idea is that the children develop an awareness for the fact that food can be grown close to home. This carrot didnt have to be transported will just carry it into the kitchen. As they didnt have to be shipped half way across the world so it has a low Carbon Footprint. And this one could go exactly. But growing their own vegetables doesnt necessarily mean a significant reduction in c o two emissions. So this is the first season. Ending how to cultivate an open garden because were hoping that well
be able to move on to a different level next year. On the votes from here you know exactly this is a test run. The whole experiment is a test and its not about reducing emissions by forty percent at any cost its also about discovering why its so difficult for people to reduce their Carbon Footprint and lead an environmentally friendly lifestyle. That is its ironic id say plus four point five kilos. As x. Six kilos of potatoes its not enough but its a start its a first order of us. But the family cant avoid going shopping at least not yet theyre trying to save on c o two but even if they only shop in organic stores this isnt an easy task. Is right on the
window its perfect i tend to drink water or juice but if the children want a soft drink. Were not always as consistent as wed like to be. Its about finding a balance. Theyre always trying to buy fruit and vegetables grown in germany but theres still willing to compromise at times for example when it comes to peppers from spain. I like peppers yellow and red i like both. Like us that pebbles are quite healthy theres a lot of iron in the us and because we didnt eat meat we eat more vegetables in autumn and Winter Pepper from spain isnt ideal but its better than putting salami on the pizza. Whack i dont like the limey its meat. For our. The whole family has become vegetarian they know that it keeler would
be means twelve kilos of c o two emissions. Covering days and her husband tend to use sawyer aside time instead of meat because their production is better for the environment. They also eat only organic food. The fewer chemicals are used the better it is for the environment. The whole family loves pizza and they used to get deliveries but thats over now. I mean you. Might think. I missed if you must but if i make pizza here theres no extra travelling a driver doesnt have to go anywhere. Its your kind of course we can decide
watching radiance we use. Today theyre using spinach from their own garden nico suddenly thinks that maybe the oven could be a problem with regard to c o two emissions. And an offer to heat up the oven we use Electricity Generating electricity also causes c o two emissions by fault. And your family uses Green Electricity generated from Renewable Energy sources such as the wind or the sun. Nikkeis glad that the familys Carbon Footprint is reduced thanks to Green Electricity but she realizes that its not all up to her family and shes aware that overpopulation is also an issue. So. This is
the mark people there are the more c o two is the mid it. Exactly. Happens. Even though the pizza did cost some c o two it tastes delicious. Sunday evening news time for the weekly c o two calculations now theyll figure out how much c o two was emitted through their use of electricity their transport and food or narrows our climate hero she never consumes anything. Shes also our youngest whats the result for the whole year likely to be. Not so bad twenty five point one eight tons as a family thats five tons per person. And if they continue living like this theyll go beyond the forty percent goal and reduce
their Carbon Footprint by fifty six percent this would be a great successes henry who was quite skeptical at the beginning. Of. This is changed over the years because he has become more ambitious and try to improve things that. We have quite a high potential for saving on emissions without restricting our quality of life drastically about was. One of them so i would say that im satisfied. With the. Holidays are also part of the experiment. Gathering days are calculated that it would cost less to drive to saxony to visit relatives than to take the train. And of course youll surely talk about the experiment which theyre probably going to continue in their own way. I dont
think you can just forget and carry on like before that wouldnt work. Karriem bees are wants to live in a society where everyone tries to offset their Carbon Emissions as much as possible. Ideally it would be a Climate Neutral Society theres a long way to go but she and her family have made a good start. All. Ready for some culling area to live. How about some ingenious recipes.
