“Doc 1: Empty kilometers? Austria commutes” with Lisa Gadenstätter at 8:15 p.m
Around 53 percent of all actively employed people do not work in the community in which they live. Commuting used to be seen as a problem for the privileged. Who commutes was asked. Today it is a mass phenomenon and affects all sections of the population. This has consequences for the individual but also for society. Commuting is bad for your health, both physically and mentally. Commuting from the land-consuming suburbs of cities fuels urban sprawl. And because the majority of commuters travel by car, it damages the climate. But it also offers opportunities – to find your dream job, to combat the shortage of skilled workers or the chance to fulfill your dream of owning your own house with a garden. Lisa Gadenstätter asks: Is it possible without it? Is there a (working) life after commuting?
“Doc 1: Empty kilometers? “Austria commutes” is available 24 hours in advance – from Tuesday, March 12th, at 8:15 p.m. – on on.ORF.at and in the TVthek app.

Roads, railways and air corridors are the lifelines that connect Europe. CO2 emissions fell significantly during the Corona crisis, but the standstill has shown how dependent the continent is on transport. Even the components of e-bikes come from all over the world. Fuel cell technology for trucks, rail transport and electric cars should make road transport more environmentally friendly. Green mobility remains one of the major challenges to maintaining a transport system for everyone in Europe.
“Soy hormone trap? – Light and Shadow of the Vegan Boom” at 9:55 p.m
Soy is becoming increasingly popular. If you want to eat a low-meat diet, you can hardly avoid the bean and its products. The supply increases accordingly. But how healthy is soy actually? The effect of soy products on the female hormonal balance is a recurring topic – soy does not contain a hormone, but has a similar structure to estrogen and contains so-called phytoestrogens. So can soy cause breast cancer? Or, conversely, relieve menstrual symptoms? Is eating soy in large quantities healthy or harmful? Medical journalist Bernhard Hain investigated these and other questions in his documentary.
