The Sustainable Development Program on the island of El Hierro is aimed at biodiversity and zero waste. Its dynamic approach sees territories as systems that include not only energy, but also water, mobility, food, education and business. The world’s first island to rely on 100% renewable energy, El Hierro has already reduced its annual energy costs by well over three million euros. It is closely watched by the international community, and plans are in place to replicate its concept elsewhere. Oil drilling not only poses a threat due to accidental leakage, but also due to waste released into the sea as well as noise and disturbances from seismic testing, drilling, aircraft and ships.
