The video was about bioeconomy, a circular economy which is sustainable because it relies on products from nature.

It said that fossil fuels are used to make many things but they are non renewable unsustainable resources so we need to use more renewable sustainable resources.

Sustainability means the ability of maintaining something that works in the future too and doesn’t pollute the environment. 

The video said that it’s important to develop new innovative and diverse products like healthier food, revolutionary medicines, green energy and bio-based consumer goods.

All of that would help the growth of sustainable economy. "

Indeed, the use of fossil fuels is essential for the production of energy, plastic, textiles and many other things. On the other hand, however, fossil fuels are non renewable resources, so we need to find an alternative to them.

Because of this need, scientists are discovering that biological resources can help us find similar products. That’s the bioeconomy, which is the use of elements that can be replaced in a sustainable cycle.

For example, we can use spider silk to product computer chips or optical fibers.

New technologies will provide new job opportunities, new types of industries and sustainable economic growth."

The best way to create sustainable products is through a circular economy based on renewable resources, that is a system where everything that would get thrown away as “garbage” gets, instead, recycled and, at least in part, used as a resource to create other useful things, and where the first amounts of matter and energy necessary to the production come from sources that can be recreated in a short time without damaging the planet.

Unfortunately, most of people don’t support Bioeconomy because they think that it’s too expensive to be put into practice and that it would make them lose their job, especially if they work with some of the products that wouldn’t be used anymore. But, actually, the implementation of Bioeconomy would create new jobs so it wouldn’t be so dangerous for the global economy; actually it would be the best thing for our planet.

Hundreds of thousands of tons of a by-product destined to be disposed of as waste becomes the raw material of a quality product made in Italy.

A woman from Siciily had the idea for this project; the pilot plant was inaugurated in Sicily in 2015.

The product is obtained by extracting cellulose from citrus fruits and then being transformed into yarn.

The fabric obtained from this yarn is impalpable and light, similar to viscose.

Or the yarn can be used together with the Como silk and cotton thus obtaining a satin and a poplin (a soft, fresh and shiny cotton fabric).

There aren’t many Italian companies that recycle materials, so it was hard to find one that didn’t “recycle” only plastic.

This company takes fruit peel and transforms it into fabric, then they use the fabric to make shoes. They mainly use grape, pineapple and apple peel.

I didn’t think you could create fabric from fruit peel. I think these results are really good and even if I don’t really like the shoes I don't think they look bad.

The company also carefully selected the packaging, which is bee-friendly and I think that’s really worth and smart.

I think that all nations should take example from them and start slowly taking measures to create a more sustainable economy and then to improve our lifestyle

Bio-based products can be reused a lot of times, whereas traditional products can’t.

Multinational companies don’t care about bioeconomy because bio-based products are more expensive than the common products.They are unresponsive about climate change because if they can earn a little bit more they do.

The bioeconomy will be our future and so we must commit to using bio products to protect our planet and the life of our children. So I have promised myself to eat and use more products bio to save the planet.

For example in the first video I found out that the skin of the fish can be reused  to  make clothes, food for fish and products for our our  skin and if we reduce the fish frames to dust, we can use them  to make food supplements, cosmetics and medicines. So, despite what we think, also these part of the fish are useful for us. 

Moreover I learned that for people in Finland the environment is very important

Since we humans use non-renewable resources a lot, it would be advisable to waste them as little as possible and use them "to the last drop", without throwing away anything that is still usable.

In the video I saw an example of bioeconomy in Finland and it seemed to me that everything was more beautiful, healthy and natural there.

The second video shows well how we can promote tourism using natural resources from the environment. For example, in Finland the wood of forests is used consciously to produce paper and also fuels. 

In the world, fossil fuels are the main energy source, but they are not renewable, so they will end. The bioeconomy is a way to produce something using remewable energy and organic products. This different way to produce will create new jobs and a sustainable economic growth. In this way we can create a better future because all the products we use will regenerate and we will also reduce pollution using different energy sources like hydroelectric or solar panels.
