WHAT CAN I DO FOR THE ENVIRONMENT?
On World Environment Day, we wanted to focus on what WE can do. Each and every one of us.
Every single action, no matter how small, has an impact. Only when we all develop a greater awareness of what good we can do for our planet will we achieve real change.
What can I do for the environment? We have a few tips for you!
➕ Our diet. Okay, difficult topic, but immensely important. Ask yourself where your food comes from. The fruits and vegetables that end up in our shopping carts... should they even be available now? Where do they come from? Do they have a long journey behind you? If you eat meat or fish, ask yourself under what conditions the animals were kept. Remember that 1 kilo of beef requires up to 15,000 litres of water*! You don't eat meat at all? Even better!
➕ Our Mobility. Yes, it is sometimes difficult. In cities, getting around is often easier and you can quickly get to the office or to see friends by bike or subway. In rural areas, it is more complicated. Nevertheless: Just always try to ask yourself whether you really need the car for this journey - or whether you could just ride your bike instead. Carpooling is a great idea to save CO2 and still get from A to B quickly.
And even if the train is sometimes late – plan a little more time and travel by train instead of flying. Cologne - Berlin may take a little longer door to door with the ICE, but it is worth travelling with a better conscience.
➕ Our behavior. We all want to experience something and enjoy nature and beautiful places. That's totally okay! But be responsible with your surroundings and take everything you brought with you back with you. "Leave nothing but footprints" is one of the greatest quotes you can in this context. Try to apply it.
