As attacks the visiting a blockhead seen bus fare and more violence couple organizers decided to stage the match at rio the dreads but a baby stadium next sunday rebel give that using a neutral venue will mean they lose home advantage. It watching the news from thanks so much for joining us. To sleep waiting. Waiting for a lifeline to syria. Good morning where are you why arent you answering. Every call brings them closer together. But it hurts because they feel powerless to help. Dont worry about
the ones theyve left me. Im trying to be strong. The war continues to haunt those who fled from syria. And the war on my from our two part documentary starts december eighth w. They didnt have to be shipped off way across the world so it has a low Carbon Footprint common base and her family are always talking about c o two emissions they want to reduce their Carbon Footprint they believe that to save the planet they have to start at home. Coming days or her husband entering already a beer can and their three daughters of 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 o two at the moment were not flying anywhere driving anywhere finding anything were not consuming anything. But they cant spend their whole lives sitting on the sofa. Its the start of the day carrying babies and her husband out to go to work i know whos five and meta 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. Take a bike if its snowing or icy 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 that car three and a half kilos of c o two would be produced per day. Sorry
basies speaking with some foreign journalists about her experiences during the experiment. But. My husband hes rather interested in measuring and im really impatient i say ok we want to cut by forty percent we want to reach to climb the 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 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 hit the gym they need to light that train us need to go with their. The family is always trying to figure out which activities they still want to participate in of course there is 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. So its harvest time so the potatoes are ripe. And theres also some Spinach Carrots rock good feet root in her fists so. There are some here. And heres one you know exactly you can take someone put them in the dish Hang On Nneka you have to be really careful. Gardening is also
a way of reducing the familys Carbon Footprint i can feel. Oh i think one. Good. Luck have big mining. Right now and 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 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 gives out exactly. But growing their own vegetables doesnt necessarily mean a significant reduction in c o two emissions. So this is the first season. Were learning how to cultivate an urban garden. Because were hoping that well be able to move on to a different level next year that falls 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. And so this is i vomit id say plus four point five kilos. As a sixty six kilos of potatoes its not enough but its a start. 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. I need it
right on this one no its perfect i tend to drink water a 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. Pebbles a quite healthy theres a lot of fun in them 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 a pizza. I dont like the army its meat. For out of the whole family has become vegetarian they know that it keeler would be
means twelve kilos of c o two emissions. Carrying bays and her husband tend to use or your side 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. Mean if you. Like. When mystified your mother if i make pizza here theres no extra travelling a driver doesnt have to go anywhere. Its your kind of course we can decide what ingredients we use. Today theyre using spinach from their
own garden because suddenly thinks that maybe the oven could be a problem with regard to c o two emissions. Because. No one offered speeds up the oven we use electricity and generating electricity also causes c o two emissions by fault. As he does in a new family uses Green Electricity generated from Renewable Energy sources such as the wind or the sun. Nikkeis glad that the families 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 i think. This is
the mark people there are the more c o two is emitted. Exactly. Because its even though the pizza did cause 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 when you marry as our climate hero she never consumes anything. Shes also our youngest. Whats the result for the whole year likely to be. Not bad twenty five point one eight tons as a family thats five tons per person. 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 and he 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. The lives so i would say that im satisfied. With. Holidays are also part of the experiment. Rather you maser 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 you wouldnt want to ski. 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. Thanks. To farming a great opportunity for the women of gambia. But also the Severe Threat to the environment. We know that if we continue cutting the roots of the migrate theyll come a time when there are no more oysters to harvest and initiative is teaching the with a sustainable alternative.
