As the Mercedes F-Cell World Drive heads around the globe on its 125 day world trip to advocate for Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology, Eco-Trek presented by German actress and presenter Anita Antonj will bring you the most innovative green ideas, initiatives and projects from the cities, towns and villages we pass though each week. This leg of the tour brings us from Paris, France to Barcelona, Spain where we discover some of the many ways Spain is keeping its cities green. Join us on this week's episode of Eco-Trek as we discover:
*Beach Garbage Hotel- Madrid A brand new hotel has opened in Madrid's city center made entirely of waste. The walls of the Beach Garbage Hotel, the brainchild of German artist Ha Schult, are made of materials found in landfills, the beaches and even flea markets.
*Sun Power - Spain is paving the way towards solar sustainability and its solar power development has been heralded. The Forum's photovoltaic pergola is one of the most popular symbols of Barcelona's new urban architecture, but more than that, it is an emblem of the city's commitment to renewable energies and sustainability. Interview with Eco-Architect Enric Ruiz Geli about how he incorporates green engineering into his modern buildings such as the Media-TIC building in Barcelona, an information and communication technology hub designed to incubate, generate, exhibit and invite new ideas and developments.
*Robotic Fish - Spain unleashes schools of Oceanic Pollution-Sniffing Robo Fish, to swim in the sea and monitor the level of pollutants coming from its busiest port.
Join us next week as Eco-Trek brings you more great green news stories from the path of the Mercedes F-Cell World Drive as the tour leaves Europe and continues on to the US from Miami, Florida.

China has already constructed several model futuristic cities -- green spaces of calm that offer an ecological residential experience which is popular amongst China's growing middle class. Yet none of these efforts have been entirely successful for a number of reasons. While we were walking through Bucharest, Romania's "Circus Park" the other day, we were pleasantly reminded of these ideal burgs as we breathed in the park's layout and unique looking structures. Thanks again for watching!China has already constructed several model futuristic cities -- green spaces of calm... more
