WE WILL WATCH:
The Show with the Mouse: The Super Storage Battery
10:20 mins
Presenter André Gatzke is at the fun fair and has a good time trying all the rides. The electricity for the fair and for our daily use at home comes mostly from power plants, which burn large amounts of gas and coal in order to generate electricity from them. However, this creates a lot of carbon dioxide. A solar park is a better alternative! The solar cells convert sunlight into electrical energy. Power can also be generated with the power of the wind. André poses the question though: what if the sun doesn't shine or the wind is calm? How can energy still be delivered?

Nine-and-a-half - Your Reporter: Bye, Plastic! - Can We Do Without Packaging

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.

Together with Hanna and Nina from the Restlos Glücklichzero waste association, she also rescues left-over foods that would have ended up in the supermarket’s bin.

Ground of Story: Circular Economy
02:20 mins
To fight the compelling problem of waste an ambitious waste prevention and resource efficient strategy is needed. But how can Europe decrease the rapid consumption of a significant amount of natural resources? Is there a way to produce eco-friendly products? The short film follows Jerzy Wysocki, the founder of Biotrem in Warsaw, who produces eco-friendly and sustainable plates and cutlery from leftover wheat bran. Showing the typical production process from the raw materials to the dissolving of the final product, the film highlights the importance of a turn to a circular economy that produces less waste and protects the environment.
