environment
Why is the topic of the environment on everyone's lips and can I contribute anything at all? Everywhere one is now confronted with the fact that our society is facing a monstrous threat with regard to the change in our climate. Heat waves, heavy rain, drought and other extreme weather conditions should therefore no longer be uncommon and should increase sharply. But are we talking about a natural fluctuation in our climate or is there actually more to it? There are many indications that the human influence of these weather extremes is at least present. In any case, the vast majority of scientists agree on this. We should be prepared for it and, more importantly, we should do a lot to keep the effects reasonably bearable. Here is an interesting link that underlines the thesis of human influence on climate change. What can I do to protect the environment myself? Concrete approaches on how best to start with climate protection yourself are described very clearly on the website meinKlimaschutz of the Federal Ministry for the Environment. The focus should always be on a resource-conserving lifestyle, i.e. - avoiding packaging / outer packaging - buying second-hand goods or used goods if possible, e.g. on alternate, buyzoxs or rebuy - reducing solo trips in the car, carpooling, switching to public transport or Use your bike, home office days. Small, constant steps get everyone ahead better than the 100% cut that you quickly give up. - use alternative / sustainable materials in the household. Instead of aluminum foil, you can, for example, use dried corn / banana leaves for grilling or grilling paper made from cedar wood or tea tree bark. Instead of cling film, recyclable organic film (made of organic cotton, among others) can be used, but washable beeswax cloths are also possible for packing food. You can find more interesting information on the subject of packaging here on the website of the consumer center.
