Resume - Buehl
For all of us YouTo was a big adventure with a lot of fun and action.
We got to know new cultures and made friends with young people from all over Europe. For example it was very funny to talk to all the different people here because they all have their own accents basedon their mother tongue.
Besides we learned a lot about our environment and how we can save our planet.
And of course Vilafranca was a great town with amazing shops and tiny cafes.
So we had an unforgettable week with YouTo in Vilafranca.

Renewable energy in Catalonia
We are suprised that in countries with worse conditions than us, they have more facilities to create renewable energy. Although we have perfect conditions to do it, because for example we have a lot of sun all the year, and rivers where we could put water turbines.
The energy that we have devoloped more is the wind turbines. In some of the top of the mountains you can find a few, but still it could be much more. For example as we heard there are so called windparks with more than 100 windmills. But in the discussion we did the Germans told us also that there are a lot of people that don't want the mills because they destroy the landscape. In this way we found out that we are similar in that point because also in Catalonia People are complaining about this.
Now some private people and also in public places they are starting to put some solar power plants. But we feel that with all we all the sun we have we really pay more attention on this issue. Another point is that solar power panels on the roofs of houses don't destroy the landscape.
So, every day we are improving in that way, but step by step. But we know there are still a lot of steps to do.

Renewable energy in Oslavany
Renewable energy in Oslavany / Czech Republic
We have not so large possibilities in green energy producing as Germany or Denmark. We have only few water turbines, little bit more wind plants and the most used kind of green power plants are solar. The solar power plans had massive support from government for last 4 years, but now they stop it, because the boom was so large, that it has produced more negatives than positives. The biggest problem is that most parts of Czech Republic are not really well suitable for solar power plants due to not so much sun shining as in the other countries.
Directly in Oslavany we have 15th biggest solar power plant in the Czech Republic. It's located on the filled sedimentation lake behind already deactivated coal power plant. So the area which was not usable anymore for anything else(because of some toxicity) find it's new purpose. The power from this solar power plant is around 8 MW which is more than all the people and companies in Oslavany needs. So from this point of view Oslavany are "fully" green.
