Everyone and welcome to another edition of your acts with me, your host, meghan lee. Today we are focusing on creative sustainability projects around europe. Lets take a closer look at 2 more examples. The nola in the finnish capital, helsinki is the nations 1st in the 0 waste restaurant, found the southern german city of tribe, or leads the way in the fight against Global Warming. But 1st people who live in cities long for connection to nature, the concept of a bio fill. The architecture tries to satisfy this desire includes building with natural materials, bringing light into peoples homes as much as possible and connecting a buildings occupants with their natural surroundings. While the freebooter apartment complex in amsterdam was built, according to this principle, we went there to check it out and ask its residents if it improves their daily lives. Lloyd instead of concrete curves rather than hard edges, a style of architecture that loves life. The result of building according to the principles of bio silica architecture jacket. More garcia now is the architect of the freebooter. Or look at me here in the depths city of amsterdam, one of the key elements of a by you feel it could approach is to create direct connection with nature. And we created by using, you know, natural materials that, that simulates or are connected with was really an experience should be to do nature wooden slats, run around the entire building, ensuring optimal riding conditions and privacy. The sense movement was monitored for a whole year. So the slats could feel light perfectly. Another fundamental concept of trial for like architecture is that interior and exterior space should merge into one. As soon as we, you know, we wake up in this, in this room, we can already open up and have a direct connection to the terrace and through the natural element of the water. The freebooters special construction method only cost about 10 percent more than a conventional 12. 00 families living with each with 120. 00 square metres of living space. They enjoy a special indoor climate and a house with close to 0 energy consumption. Thanks to state of the Art Technology especially like this room because the sun around the house your new day and at the end of the day it ends here and the light is very beautiful in this room. Its not just the light that special. The house appeals to all the senses. When people come to visit, almost everybody wants to touch this part. Its girl, its moot people love it. The concept isnt only finding favor an abstract. These days greener buildings are built in many places using wood and other natural materials. Owners and architects try to integrate the surrounding nature into their constructions, even if not always under the labor biofilm like architecture. Garcia, i know, is already thinking on a much larger scale. As with his current project, my toe, since it involves living units that can be extended at will you know, so many benefits. Theres a high demand for these kind of the buildings who are really foresee there in the future, there was, there would be more and more buildings designed would biophilia approach. The freebooter residents have no doubt that their quality of life has improved since moving it to earth alive, changes, spaces, change. Theres so much more curvy ness. So the whole experience is completely different. I think more calming, perhaps, and more playful. Playful. Biofilm like architecture provides a green and holistic approach to living space and architectural concept with a future. So there we have a good example of future living. But what about the future of our food . Now, more people than ever are producing food in cities to promote locally grown products and reduce transport distances. For example, everything in these baskets was grown right here in the middle of berlin. Well, urban farming is a concept that began some 15 years ago to unique projects in france and the netherlands are pioneering the way when it comes to producing food closer to home, growing crops on the rooftops of paris in the courts. He says he didnt see the future and crucial 3 of 31, very counts standing on the grounds of in the city of rotterdam. Its the 1st of its kind in the world. Can i get seasick if we studied so, and you would for half the fitz unary and university study, if they can get seasick but no day set, its ok. So if you can see the cows are fairy and relaxed and their fur is fairy shining. So dead means that they feel ok, they gave you a lovely milk and a great amount of mail produces about 600 liters of milk. Each cow of the science for herself when she smoked. One goal of this pioneer project was to produce a sustainable use possible ottawa to reconnect the citizens with Food Production citizens, most likely dont have the clue how much energy and loft it costs to produce a glass of milk. And its important to reconnect them to avoid that they throw away difficult, very easy. The farmer from the city is nutritious food on the menu across cuttings. From it once look at pictures of golf courses, as well as old bread from local bakery, the floating solar panels next to the foam supply, its electricity. For this project originated in the united states, we were involved in a broad take in new york city. And then hurricane say very badly. So after 2 days there was no fresh food on the shelves anymore because everything was flooded. So no trucks could came in or out the city. And then peter, my partner here realized whats going on. We are in the trouble. The project in rotterdam shows how urban farming can work with marshall to transport distances. The french capital, paris is proving this is possible with an area equal to 20 soccer pictures. The largest urban farming project in the world is taking shape on the roof of a train or is a city with lots of enthusiasm for up and foaming. And the City Administration has launched several projects as parts or program on about one quarter of the space over 20 gardeners have done an impressive job of planting some 30 cartons of many regional fruit vegetables in her course. Without resorting to pesticides or other chemicals. They rely on to special growing that the 1st method is using vertical columns. The roots are completely out in the open air where they can be sprayed with nutrients in a closed system. Is the 2nd system is hydroponics. We have horizontal gardeners along with the coconut pine substrate. As an arrow panics, the nutrients reach the plants or cycle. During the peak growing season, the roof tops with the fresh fruit and vegetables. This week we set to increase the project reaches completion 2022. In order to supply this is already the case in iraq today several times a week and electric vehicles used to deliver hundreds of liters of milk. The milk isnt the way of the zionists and the fella paying the next farm on the water next to this one. And that will be a farm with fur to go farming, but also with chickens. So in that way, we create a kind of floating food strip over here to put the demand for local and healthful products as was driving the organic way. Along with the fact that the worlds population lives in towns leave. Itll be 70 percent by the 23rd. And that presents a challenge to society as a whole innovative concepts like the ones in paris and rotterdam and the cool restaurants all over the world produce millions of tons of waste every year. And now much of it is actually ovoid a ball and it cost the industry hundreds of millions of euros. Well 1. 00 restaurant in finland aims to reduce its waste output to basically 0. The owners do this through creative cooking and recycling. So how about an ice cream from beer residue . Heres a closer look. Probably dishes here appears with sustainable and green dns and without wastage. That is the concept of helsinkis mellow restaurant. The name means 0 waste. None 0 was finlands 1st 0 waste. Restaurant 3 european cooks founded it in 20 181. 00 from serbia, one from spain, and one from portugal. They continually come up with new ways to avoid waste on the waste and buy a product already eaten by the cost to morrow. And after being used to most of the times on 95 percent of the time was being compost in the make us different 46 course niels are created in the kitchen. Among todays dishes, grilled romaine lettuce with black currents and a spicy fish sauce. It is served with sturgeon on marinated tomatoes. The food is also a feast for the eyes. Responsibly produced ingredients and dishes become an epic shiri, an experience in the process of growing a star, just the brother you ascribe. It is a lot of males as sturgeons. But they are like burford reuse of both for our consumption. Its like a really beautiful means, like a really beautiful place where normally traditionally they just like being thrown away and planning their menus for a 0 restaurant can be quite a challenge. Always bearing in mind how to prevent waste of any kind of our memory is the produce a high school for where im the ones that monday into the producer. What do we want . So the producers inform us on what they have available. And then normally, every week already couple of weeks we change like 3 items. Fundamentally, these are all instruments from coffee grounds. The cooks turn them into mushroom that gets put sugar syrup, made the restaurants and the employees clothes, and even the utensils are all part of the sustainable concept. Everything is made from recycled materials. The idea restaurants with add waste has moved spread to many other european cities where this is free at his. Germanys 1st 0 waste restaurant to serve exclusively the conditions made with locally produced ingredients, just as in finland, anything left over to the restaurant composting machine to be turned into a soil substitute and returned to the farmers. Theres 0 waste, a west restaurant in milan, italy focuses on old, nearly forgotten italian recipes, simple traditional dishes, elevated to form a status such as pumpkin marinated in vinegar for the apples filled with chestnuts and caramelized. Thats back inhouse inky restaurant manager and evaluates to days scraps. He uses an app to measure the miniscule amounts. He recommends the out for conventional restaurants as well. This is a very useful, truthful tool for the russians to actually save money and give you understand, and so how much their money you throw away the restaurant has its own microbrewery during the beer production process, great residues of humulin eat. Its a waste product. This in turn becomes a dessert, blueberries, on ice cream from the grain residues with a coffee can be chucked caraballo flavor. Our goal is not told its 1st cycle, its 2 to reuse. And kind of free deuce the usage of the new energy to create something new. So so for us, the recycling is the last part in our operations. 0 waste, the uncompromising endeavor to make 0 per cent waste the rule rather than the exception.

The Italian Company project to quit, for example, applies waste not want not principle. It makes clothes with discarded fabrics from high end fashion houses. And as youll see, style doesnt have to be compromise in the name of sustainability. This is a pressure point, a with a social conscience. These clothes are made by pressure to quit companies that prides itself on producing clothing in a way that benefits the buyer, producer in the environment in general. When produce, its a good question for women. Fashion collections by recovering leftover fabrics from their luck, sorry industry. And by employing these advantage where women are disadvantaged people, especially women. But we create fresh and recall elections. And for winter this is the current collection for fall and winter. Each piece can only be made until the fabric runs out. Production takes place at the companys factory in the italian city of verona. The company employs around 150 people, many of them women who were given a 2nd chance through working here 70 percent come from i would now boil background, for example, as visibility is for things of violence of human trafficking. And we are so what we did play some of that on our with me and former the label of fires and of series fabrics unsold stock or materials donated by prestigious and tying companies which prefer not to be named our process is upside down. So based on what we have, and based on what we find, we can give to our clients a product is in charge of obtaining the foundry. He travels throughout italy to find the main thing about fox fabrics. Is that maybe in italy, which is something really, really typical of the lot of the likes of brands and receiving those leftovers makes our brand very, very special. Other european designers like dutchman duran lanting are also joining the sustainability trend. She too recycles, hiding in materials for his clothes. French israeli designer benjamin by morning out up cycles of old video and concert tapes and weaves them into colorful fabrics. And then they are spanish label, which recycles plastic from the oceans for kids. This year project to create received a prestigious green carpet fashion award. In the past, the event has hosted a listers like Sophia Loren Valentino caravanning, as well as calling for one to say a word because of our way of involvement in 2. And that it could fashion with the social and environmental values. And we have been desiring for these a word for a long time. And so we were very happy to hear the summer that we have been meaning to do to receive these very important awards and achievement for style and sustainability which are set to carry on into the future.
