Where it comes from: Jaffa Oranges
Location: Israel / Deutschland
Nearly 1.78 billion tons of oranges are harvested and shipped annually. Thus, the Orange is among the top 10 of the world‘s best-selling goods. Israel is a world champion in the export and development of new breeds of oranges, and also delivers to Europe in record time. In fact more than 50% of the annual harvest is exported.

Chernobyl: 30 Years On
Location: Ukraine
2016 marks 30 years since history’s worst nuclear accident in Chernobyl, Ukraine.

A gigantic sarcophagus is being built to cover the damaged nuclear power plant. Elsewhere, the waste from the early years of nuclear power is still proving a problem across the world. After nuclear waste was found leaking into the water supply in Germany, innovative new solutions had to be found to protect people’s health.
