One day we also go to the community of Friland in Djursland to see how they have constructed their own houses out of natural and recycled materials.

Days 10-14: Samsø Island. Samsø was in 1997 appointed Denmark’s renewable energy island. With the appointment, the goal was to become self-sufficient in renewable energy.
