Nine-and-a-half - Your Reporter: Bye, Plastic! - Can We Do Without Packaging09:30 mins
Cheese, fruit, sweets, shampoo – almost everything we buy in the supermarket is wrapped in plastic, because plastic is cheap and practical as a packaging material. However, this creates huge mountains of packaging waste every year, which causes great problems in the world. Jana wants to know why so many goods are packed in plastic and whether there is another way. To find out, she meets scientist Lukas Sattlegger, who spent a month examining packaging in a supermarket. She also visits 11-year-old Carlos, whose family makes beeswax wraps.

Knietzsche and the Environment
03:04 mins
Knietzsche believes that the protection of the environment is important, butnot always easy. Many things that we humans like to do produce garbage or pollute the air. Even though nature is so good to us! So, it is all the more important that everyone does his or her part to ensure that the earth continues to prosper in the future.Packaging waste, air pollution, consumption and global warming are topics that Knietzsche addresses. After all, the environment concerns us all.

Knietzsche believes that the future does not just happen, but that you shape it through deeds, thoughts and dreams. You cannot plan everything precisely, because nobody knows the future. The desire for progress is the fuel for inventors. Some inventions, which were good and effective in the past, might later have consequences that the inventors had not expected. But good ideas definitely make life better. So put the future in the best hands – yours!

Even small changes can make a difference in the world. It's never too late to start. Let’s revive the world!
