mega-dam in the rain forest and comeback of the can as

mid-July, was approved in Brazil, the construction of the third largest dam. The Xingu River is home to the planned location, about 20,000 people (mostly natives) who must be relocated and thus deprived of their livelihood would be, nor the environmental consequences of the dam would be absolutely devastating.

The establishment of such an artificial dam is a sensitive intervention in the ecosystem of river habitat for many plant species is flooded, species may no longer have to move around freely in the river and can therefore eg eggs - and not on feeding grounds . The Yangtze Dam in China, for example, is largely responsible for that recently, the Yangtze river dolphin is extinct (which were already small stocks separately and not to each other could get to reproduce), also has been found that this dam Tons of sediment holding back, which is usually deposited at high water on fields and so the nutrient content of soils has improved. have

what ecological consequences of the Xingu dam will be difficult to predict, often you have noticed in such mega-dams, the effects later. Suffers one downstream in many cases of acute drought (see Hoover Dam and the impact on the north of Mexico). But it is clear that both the U.S. and Europe in such projects because of her sociological and environmental impacts now firmly rejected.

The organization Save the Rainforest has therefore launched two petitions posed directly and indirectly against the Xingu project:

• direct in a protest email the Managing Director and CEO of the German company Alstom, Voith Siemens, Andritz will be asked to not to participate in the project.
• indirectly denounces the rain forest, the insidious comeback to the aluminum beverage can to Save. Also in the Brazilian rain forest, the raw materials needed in mining to be reduced (= clear-cutting), the extremely energy-intensive production of aluminum is also operated on the ground, the power of this comes largely from hydroelectric plants, as it should now also occur on the Xingu. In a protest email to the Management Board of REWE Group and the Executive Board of the net group urges Save the rain forest because the cans to take back from the range, since their life cycle is significantly worse than in plastic and glass bottles. It was finally good reasons why the cans are eventually disappeared from the shelves.

Update 08/30/2010: unfortunately the project was given by Brazil's President Lula green light. Now we will see what can be achieved through protest yet ...

What sounds like a slightly Greenpeace dubious title of nobility is in fact Greenpeace's looking for people who are participating in a survey on the organization provides. The whole thing is anonymous and in my case took about 10 minutes. GP tries to learn the extent to which environmental issues are important to people and how the organization is generally perceived by the public.

Who has 10 minutes to help Greenpeace wants to know where the journey should take in the future that can here participate in the survey.

success ... There's also

In view of the many bad messages that one gets beaten on the environment around the ears, it's easy to forget that it ever again been successes.

to show that there really is powerful, ever committed to personal possibilities, here are a few success stories (of Greenpeace-sorry, let me get out of the barn) in the last few months.

• 07/08/2010: have some the world's largest grain trader for 4 years extended an existing moratorium on growing soy in the Amazon region for a year.
• 07/07/2010: the European Union after 10 years of struggle of several environmental organizations approved a law under which only legally harvested wood may be imported.
• 07/06/2010: immediately applicable according to EU regulation stricter rules for pesticide levels in fruits and vegetables.
• 28.05.2010: under strong public pressure is the French nuclear energy company Areva off supplies of radioactive waste to Russia after 38 years. These deliveries were uncovered by Greenpeace, then followed worldwide protests.
• 17/05/2010: leading paper manufacturer in Canada with various environmental organizations signed an agreement with the 72 million hectares (more than Bayern) boreal forest in protected areas transformed and ecologically sustainable forest management can be introduced.
• 17/05/2010: Nestlé bends sharply after Greenpeace has organized massive worldwide protests against the use of non-certified palm oil (= oil plantations on illegally deforested rain forest area). Now only palm oil from certified sources is used.

Without the support via the numerous petitions would be lobbying, which was to achieve these goals need not have been possible . If NGO's can not prove that they have massive support from the people in the back, companies and governments to move by itself an inch. We as consumers have far more power than is generally adopted. If you do not something like: It says the leaders, threatening to quietly when in doubt to go to rival most big companies keep statistics on such feedback, so it will be taken very careful note. Or you are looking for a petition that you can connect you. Or start a petition itself (see Green Action).

Shotacon Red Hat Game

fly without a guilty conscience?

Yes, is true in countries further afield, it is in most cases only by plane. Nevertheless, as you twist and turns, the air traffic is the CO2 emissions much higher than on the road. This is firstly through the crowd-it would be for better from a climate perspective, if everyone would own most of the passengers in car instead of together in an aircraft, on the other by the height at which the CO2 is emitted. As with the car is the environmental impact of flying for short distances proportionally much higher than for long distances. Therefore, everyone should consider whether there really is no other alternative, especially for short trips to get the train often faster directly into the city center.

Who's to fly but can not do without, or want, but still want to fly "climate conscious", which can be helped: service provider may issue such Atmosfair make it possible. How

it works:
Atmosfair figured us how much CO2 emissions, an airline passenger on a particular flight and then calculates how much money you should invest in solar, hydro, biomass or energy saving projects to offset this amount of greenhouse gases. The passenger can then voluntarily make this compensation. The calculation is based on averages: the average number of passengers on the route chosen, the average flight altitude and duration, average weight of passenger aircraft, etc. Various organizations and institutes confirm the sustainability and effectiveness of Atmosfair system, and see Atmosfair users also Greenpeace, NABU, The Greens, the Environment Ministry, GTZ, Bread for the World including

Where is the environmental benefits:
generated by the personal air travel greenhouse gases can be neutralized by this compensation, which is in principle no different as a donation for projects related to renewable energies.

Other assets:
As the climate change projects funded by Atmosfair is carried out in developing countries, this benefit of it-it is not only an environmental but a development project. Since Atmosfair is a nonprofit organization, the compensation amount is deductible from tax be-donation receipts can be downloaded within 2 months from the network.

Where's the catch:
The otherwise might, so favorable air travel becomes more expensive, with a return flight from Cologne to Munich, for example, the compensation € 9; Frankfurt-New York ~ 96 €, Frankfurt, Sydney on Singapore € 265.

How can I use Atmosfair:
go to the homepage of the website, "offset my flight" Specifying start and destination airport and click the green check mark. If desired, then additional information is added (scheduled or charter flights, aircraft type) click on "calculate emissions." If one has the result, one can in the right box to "View / Book" button and can then choose to pay "come. One has the choice between direct debit, credit card and billing, after which you specify whether you want a receipt (the contribution is deductible from the tax), then the usual information as to the person and payment ready. You will then receive an email with the invoice number and certificate.

My expertise:
Atmosfair I heard about recently and so far only managed to fly about (Cologne, Marseille and back, a total of 12 €). The flight plus compensation was still cheaper than an equivalent ticket for the train, the operation on the site was easy and within 5 minutes to complete, the tax receipt, I could download for a week. Nevertheless, I taste a little too much like indulgences. Rather, it would be me in any case, a CO2-compensation, which will be added automatically to all ticket-first, a few only know of Atmosfair & Co., second, probably only a small proportion of passengers will be ready to voluntarily more money on top of place, and thirdly, perhaps rising one or the other to higher ticket prices but at the track.

Ultimately, however, I see as an acceptable Atmosfair Compromise on the necessary evil. As long as there is no uniform system, this is probably the best way, the effects of aircraft emissions to ease a little.

Sustainability 2.0 Utopia.de

About Utopia.de I stumbled on looking for a Biometzger in my area. Look at and stuck-much to the chagrin of my bread timer ...

How it works:
Utopia is an online platform for consumers, where sustainability is important. There you'll find shopping tips, advice for different sectors (food, electronics, travel, mobility, etc.) About Sustainable Trade in the magazine heaps of articles, currently, for example, about the sustainability of the company Ferrero, and a community of, I guess, a few hundred utopians who are more or less active.

Where is the environmental benefits:
From the great mass of information available can be an interested Ökospiesser filter guarantee to a tip or two.

Where's the catch:
there is not a catch-finally, you pay nothing for the info. Negative than that you may not notice how time passes quickly, even one article ... but there is always his own happiness Blacksmith.

How can I use:
either simply browse the articles or create a free user account, and even get involved.

My expertise:
Utopia.de I think is a great thing-not a dry collection of tips but attractively packaged, so that makes browsing fun.

Go However, some tips to me then but a little too far-for example, the reference in Article festival for the weekend, the switch to raw food diet because you can save gas by ... So please man's can be overdone. And who does your hair dryer with one at all to the festival?

However, the rather rare misstep, to 95% I find the article interesting and informative.

The search for specific products or services in the area as "Utopia City " I find it very convenient. The framework is there, it is up to the Utopians, fill the whole, even with information-ie sustainable business or shops add .

food for thought: Donations instead of church tax?

A proposal that will probably not be everywhere meet with approval and are not just for devout Christians in question is not, that's clear to me. However, there are certainly some People who are out of habit rather than from faith in the church.

is religiosity, which is clear to me something very personal and often a complex matter, which is all different for everyone. I for one could tell me, despite a degree, continuously present "basic belief" - make friends not seen in many years with the institutional church. Nevertheless, I still paid each month, the church tax, because first I have the 50 € is not considered honorable end of the month really missing, and secondly, the Church is also in charge of many social projects and institutions, and so far not thoroughly evil and useless.

Some time I have a friend says that he has withdrawn the money but instead donate to a charity. I found that this was a great solution, am also out of them and donate the money now on MSF and Greenpeace . I have so for me the feeling that I had with the money now can help direct, as I am sure that most of the church tax for such a huge bureaucratic apparatus is required and only a small number are actually located in social projects.

Here is a graph, for which the donations hinwandern Greenpeace ...

... and here the same again for MSF:

(your exact business reports put the two organizations open to the Internet.)

Please do not get me wrong: he who feels comfortable in the church, I will not instigate the exit! I want to with this post just an impulse the supply for people like me, have no real reference to church more, but you may like to support a social or environmental organization would, it can be let go even once through the head.

Fast email to your MPs against nuclear power plant lifetime extension

As now most likely have noticed, is planning the black-yellow government, the running times to extend existing nuclear power plants over the 2002 Atomkonsenz completed and the related renovation of the Atomic Energy Act also.

We hear again and again, the majority of the German population was against nuclear power and would reject such a life extension-high time to inform your MP! Thanks to this Campact links that's easy-just name and address in the form Campact then determines in step 2, your constituencies and therefore your members. You can apply the e-mail template view, possibly change as they wish and send it. Then you will receive an email from Campact first, and if, within the your confirmation link clicking the mail is actually sent to your MPs. You will get then a copy of the email to the members

In the event that there are in your constituency, not representatives of CDU or FDP, it is also a normal Campact petition against nuclear. Again, you will receive a confirmation email, first, with your participation in the petition will be effective.

Campact is an organization that is democratic means peaceful campaigns on political issues on their feet. We have these issues, the economy package, party funding, climate and planned by the black-yellow government lifetime extension of nuclear power plants. represents

is my personal opinion that nuclear power

1. is expensive (the federal government and therefore the taxpayer will pay billions of subsidies to the nuclear industry),
2. an uncontrollable risk to the environment (even than it was then 6 years old I can remember Chernobyl still remember very well and since there are with increasing age more and more incidents in German nuclear power plants),
3. it does not cover vehicle insurance (in case of SuperGAUs is no third party insurance of the operator who then comes to the billions of losses?)
4. already the power grid blocked (already exists for over-production renewable energy that are currently in the due to nuclear and coal power busy network can not be fed and so ineffective fizzles),
5. is also a source of worry that the issue is settled is still not on the disposal of old fuel rods even after all these decades (and how you came to the location decision Gorleben, is also highly dubious experts recommended at that time other sites, Gorleben was not even on the shortlist),
6. poses a security risk (in the minority German nuclear power plants would withstand a terrorist attack à la September 11 - and I was a terrorist and would even really want to kick up dust, then I would give me such a nuclear power plant ) Search for, and
7. is not needed at all on top of that (see opinion of the Advisory Council on the Environment of the Federal Government ).

I mean two deputies had already written some time ago via Campact and by both (or their agents) long prefabricated opinions get back to why they are for the period of extension. As their main argument has been ruled out clearly in the meantime by the Environmental Council, I now have the Campact text was amended as follows:

already once I contacted you by email if you would vote for or against longer terms. The answer of your employees are somewhat long, but unfortunately was finally "yes."

has now, however, even the Advisory Council on the Environment of the Federal Government in Opinion No. 15 expressed unambiguous that a term extension is unnecessary. So my new question to you as a member of my constituents: Are you still, against the opinion of recognized experts doubt, and against the will of the majority of German population-vote in the Bundestag for a term extension? With interest I look forward to your reply.

Sincerely,

Let's see what reaction I get to that.

I find this action absolutely Campact exemplary: it is well thought out and makes it easy every citizen to contact the relevant officials in contact. I am of the opinion that the main path leads inevitably to improvements over the government and every voter has power over the government. Kudos for Campact that sent dsehr demonstrates how to use democracy.

Helpful labels when shopping

Allen believe doomsayers I firmly believe that we stand in Germany in terms of environmental and consumer protection is not so bad, most of our European Neighbors are years behind us. We find when shopping in Germany take on more and more product labels that help consumers get to a correct decision.

The best known is probably the organic seal : Although there were frequent reports of alleged or actual black sheep in the organic industry, one should not be led astray: Products Bio seal are free of pesticides and genetic manipulation, organic meat comes from humanely reared and fed animals (no factory farming, antibiotics only plant food, fish meal, etc. in the diet are taboo). Organic farms and businesses subject to strict conditions to be monitored regularly.

The Blue Angel :
This is a label that is awarded for environmentally friendly products and services. Since then I seeing to it is me constantly about the way of toilet paper, handkerchiefs, copy paper, writing pads from recycled paper to building materials and furniture to electrical appliances, the Blue Angels will be awarded in almost all areas (in this case there is a list of all products ).

The label by the Marine Stewardship Council :
is hereby awarded fish which comes from sustainable fishing a challenge to the systematic overfishing of our oceans. You can find it now, for example, on some products Iglo and Costa a step in the right direction is to be hoped that these two companies also follow suit in their remaining items.

The seal of the Forest Stewardship Council : Similar to the MSC, but just for wood instead of fish. Clear-cutting, farewell, this seal is only to products derived from sustainable timber industry. With garden furniture made of tropical hardwood (eg Bangkirai, teak, wenge) that do not have this seal, one must unfortunately conclude that it is illegal geschlagenenes wood from tropical Asian forests. IKEA, Obi, and other well-known companies are working on several projects with FSC, which is laudable, but as long as none of the furniture actually bears the label is to enjoy such a project with caution (key word "greenwashing").

The advantage of these so-labeled products is obvious: you can be sure that you have purchased a responsible manner, without burdening the environment unnecessarily.

The disadvantage lies in the often higher price-to produce sustainable is now even more expensive. That has to decide for themselves, not each can afford it.

I for my part, stated repeatedly that not only the production but also product quality is significantly better. Cheap meat from the supermarket seems to me only in exceptional situations at the plate, but I'm too excited about my Biometzger . Good quality food has just the priority for me-I want to have to worry about any cancer-causing substances, rotten meat, or genetic engineering. For me this is money well spent.

I must also sometimes with the old prejudice clean, recycled toilet paper is uncomfortable-perhaps that was once so, today it but in every supermarket, discount and drug store recycled paper, which is equal to the "normal" toilet paper in anything. Recycled paper is no more expensive than other paper products, so: no harm to try.

A highway through the Serengeti?

Grzimek What probably would say to that? Over a period article I am today to hear that the Tanzanian government is planning to build from 2012 through the middle of the legendary national park, a highway. It sounded to me as absurd that I really thought that it must act this is a joke, unfortunately, no .

Such a road would not only the annual migration of interfere with wildebeest, zebra and more from the drier southern part of the Serengeti to the water holes in the north, but also to observe that the northern park boundaries would be more densely populated than is currently the case. The result would be even more incidents between settlers and animals that are too stupid to stick to a cartographic boundary.

I was 12 years ago been in the Serengeti and well, the streets have more Belgian than German levels ... But that's part and you pay that price gladly, if it receives a pristine environment. Tourism is a major source of revenue, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater next door are absolute Magnets-I can not imagine that it would scare the tourists Sun to signal

To the Government of Tanzania that this construction project will not proceed secretly and quietly, but has become internationally known, you can at change.org the official petition Site savetheserengeti.org sign ( is sent to ambassadors and cabinet members), and / or join the Facebook page "Stop the Serengeti Highway .

petition for the establishment of marine reserves Fuel saving experiment

One of the major campaigns on the Greenpeace International's Banner has written, is currently fighting for the establishment of more marine reserves. It is forbidden to fish there to hunt or build, and requires it to be because more and more species of fish and marine mammals are threatened with extinction, and deserted all over the world, coral reefs-known examples are the whaling and contemporary, the bitter battle in the Mediterranean the survival of bluefin tuna this year. In marine reserves could sustain the stocks of endangered species recover and this would imply the long-term benefits including and especially the fishing industry, with excessively high quotas to blame for the overfishing and the main opposition these reserves is.

Greenpeace is trying to achieve that up to 40% of the marine area to be designated a reserves- here you can thereby help .

Where To Donate Plasma In Orange County For

I'm in the difficult situation of being the one hand, rely on my car and on the other hand, hate the oil industry deeply (not just BP-man does not even dig so deep to even with To find the other oil companies big environmental mess. Oil is dirty, that's what it is. A real alternative for the car there is not even electric car and Co. are too immature a lot. So I have the internet compiled tips for saving gasoline and June enforced. I originally went out of it, that success would be more so in the category "meant well" ... but nil, which has in fact actually worth. From January to May, I had 160-180 € a month-fuel costs in June, it was just € 115 which is one third less!

• was driving fuel-saving for me first: keep to speed limits. Although I am not gebrettert previously 80 by a 30-game road but well, I would describe my style as "permissive". With my new deference to authority (a bumpy word) Order I am indeed a more typically on the right track, I should but sometimes start to overtake, I am frequently in the pleasure of the Benz-driver who tried to park just a red head in my trunk in the rear view mirror waving friendly (but these contemporaries have even stuck to my tail when I'm driving faster than allowed, so not really something new).
• The following tip I got from the manual of my car: apparently you can save well over 25% when the gas pedal when accelerating not fully suppressed. Is logical, the more one passes through the pedal, the more fuel is pumped into the engine. With the acceleration of my car, it is not always Sun far away-it actually makes almost no difference if I give full or half gas. And since you can not expect from an Ibiza anyway, provided it is only green leaves a cloud of dust that is totally okay. If I only a 25% increase fuel consumption saved, dare I even doubt, but it also does not hurt for sure.
  
• turning up the past. Not out of hell-bent on speed-will be straight, a higher gear "strenuous" for the car, more fuel is consumed. If you drive a constant 50 but it is not an issue, shift up in the fourth.
• tire: are the old slippers by, specifically for tires with low rolling resistance . Ask In the interest of personal safety in doubt, access to more brands, even if they are slightly more expensive low-friction tires may not be at the expense of a good wet braking.
  
• is also helpful to drive, foresight. If you will notice that the lights on in 200 meters straight to red, then it does nothing to speed up large. And then only to slow even more, the same is true for storage ends and similar obstacles.
• topic idle: you can not make sweeping statements that we should want every opportunity arise in the short run. In a gradient, where you can keep the idle speed, or when a red Traffic lights towards rolling out, it makes sense. However, you should leave the course with a stronger gradient in it, thanks to protect the engine brake pads can be: at idle rolling downhill fast car takes to drive and must be slowed down, gone is the fuel-saving effect.
• Air Conditioning: Turn down if possible or make up altogether. 21 ° out of cool to go in blazing 35 ° takes the body a potentially bad, not to mention the fuel consumption (up to 2 extra liters / 100 km). Anyway I have no air conditioning and get along so well all-clear to me is hot, but it makes you car windows to withstand even the good.
  

Apart from the fact that it is necessary for the gas station less often, these modes of operation have the nice side effect that they pollute the engine far less than normal. Anticipate traffic = less brakes = good for the brake pads. Previously upshift = motor is running at low speed = motor requires less and lasts longer.

I was convinced it would annoy me a car to drive like this in Zuckeltanten Plüschtierbevölkertem Corsa, but the opposite was the case: I think it's more relaxed. (Stuffed animals come to me still not in your car!). On my standard range of 25 kilometers, I am-if 's high-come-perhaps 1 - 2 minutes later into the goal that I can get over completely. Through my obedience to the law I need the road not to search for Lightning also somehow very relaxing. But mostly I notice it quite radically when refueling: I had to fill up before every 2 weeks, now it tends to be more every 3 weeks. 30% fuel savings, not bad.

Remote Starters For Gas Fireplaces

The widespread power lie

There is extremely important information for me, here's a bit theoretical contribution.

politicians and energy companies announce again and again, renewable energies are indeed a nice thing, but it was still not in Germany where the energy supply in the foreseeable future completely switch to renewable energies. Solar and wind power are fluktuativ and unpredictable times should blow no wind or it will be cloudy, would be too little energy. Therefore, they demand a change in the lengthening maturities of nuclear power plants and the construction of new coal-fired power plants.

This claim is quite simply WRONG. And say not only "the Ökospinner" by various environmental organizations, but also and even the Advisory Council on the Environment of the Federal Government. They state very clearly that it is completely unnecessary to extend nuclear run-times and to build new power plants, the energy output is already available, what it now hitch is actually only the network expansion to ensure that renewable electricity masses arrive in all regions of Germany (eg electricity from offshore wind farms in the North Sea to southern Germany). A complete switch to renewable energy by 2050 is feasible and profitable into the bargain, if you now invest in network expansion. For those interested, can read the report of the Advisory Council here (Conclusion and summary on page 84 - last look good for an overview).

post Why this information? Because I am in discussions of energy and will constantly confronted with the prejudice that the renewable "Are simply not ready." This has now been ruled out by a competent clearly the instance, and I think the more people are advised to give what nonsense some government officials and energy companies on its own, the better. Spread the news!

Replacement Antena For A Scion Tc

Recommended green electricity provider

Yes, a change to a green electricity provider is already old hat. Less known is that this Ökotarife for the large incumbent energy firms a better form of greenwashing is. For in truth it made no additional environmental benefits if you at RWE, e-on, Vattenfall & Co. an eco-contract concludes.

Renewable energies are once you have it set up, a highly lucrative business: costs are only carried on maintenance, electricity is free. The big energy companies make so considerable profits with their Ökotarifen, and these are put only a small part in the expansion of renewable energies by far the greater part is invested in nuclear and coal power plants (that is what also grants from the state) or is used their non-green power to make cheaper and thus more attractive to those who need to hold together their cents, or really want.

If one wants to really be sure, the decision was made to a provider that is recommended by sites such as real- oekostrom.de : EWS Schönau, Greenpeace Energy, electricity and natural-looking light.

How it works:
The four recommended vendors have no links to nuclear or coal energy and invest excess profits mainly or exclusively in renewable energy.

Where is the environmental benefits:
One can be sure that you really with this current suppliers, the environmental burden and promote renewables.

Other assets:
with shorter minimum terms (if any) and Notice periods consumer-friendly terms than most of the established companies
greater transparency: for almost all real green energy providers can be on the websites of and information on distributions of capital, shareholders, investment related or otherwise.

Where's the catch:
fact that included in all real Ökotarifen a bonus for the expansion of renewable energies in the price, RWE & Co. may be cheaper, it depends on the consumption and should be examined individually.

How can I use this vendor:
Find out looking You are the provider that you think would fit you best, and they change. The power company is switching to simple: the new entrant needs is information about the name and address, meter number of the electricity meter (on the meter or the last statement), the name of the current electricity supplier and the bank details for direct debit (this is for all providers common and not serious) - the rest of the new provider does it for you. After a certain time then obtained a letter with the one shall be notified of when the change is completed. Security of supply istzu 100% guaranteed by law, it will be so in any case, gaps . Occur

My expertise:
was after my last move for me at last to go so far as to a green electricity tariff before that I was too slow for something (besides, I thought whatever, would determine the current rental provider). I informed my admittedly mediocre, the collective nature directly elected by RWE subsidiary Süwag and rejoiced in my good conscience. At least until then I accidentally paying attention to that it is "fake" green power.

Then I switched to naturstrom.de, as they have among the highest Neuanlagenföderung have very good terms and the Whole thing in a completely reasonable price (much cheaper than even the Ökotarif in the city work, that was before I moved last been my provider, and only slightly more expensive than the Süwag rate). The change was not a problem and I am really pleased me to get my energy finally do not have to do more head.

A bank for environmentalists?

I'm certainly not the only one who has the financial crisis is not good to say about banks. All the more I learn, I was pleased that there is an ecological and social bank.

The GLS-Bank is a well established bank since 1974, according to the ethical and ecological Working principles. Unlike many other banks, GLS completely abstained from any speculation and instead they received the money of its investors projects in the areas of free schools, health, disabled facilities, renewable energy, culture, organic farming and organic sector.

How it works: Like any other professional
Bank also operates the GLS with the applied their clients' money is, however, does not speculate on hollow gains, but real, "earthier" Here, projects invested this money in full. by the membership of the GLS in the protection scheme of the Federation of People's Cooperative Banks hedged.

Where is the environmental benefits:
Many of the funded projects come from the fields of organic farming, renewable energy and organic industry to ensure that every customer makes an indirect contribution of ecological interest, unless he indicates one of these areas as a priority.

Other assets:

• With the card you can withdraw money at any ATM free of people and Raiffeisen banks money.
• transparency: every project is currently funded public on the internet (for private loans, of course not), for example here.
• GLS Each customer can decide in what area his money should be created and this also applies to current customers.
• makes the lack of Spekulationsfreudigkeit the bank crisis-proof: the financial crisis that had shaken many German banks heavily impressed the GLS a bit. On the contrary, there are new customers have joined, it rained awards.
• There is no notice period, other banks, this is not always a given.

Where's the catch:

• quality is not free, the same goes for the GLS. An online current account there is not free, who is currently at a very cheap bank will therefore make a financial and a little-worse (I other hand, was previously at the savings bank and found that the GLS-Bank is actually cheaper).
• addition to its headquarters in Bochum, GLS is present only in Frankfurt, Freiburg, Hamburg, Stuttgart, Berlin and Munich. A wide network of branches is not so given.
• general, a move to a new bank account be annoying, standing orders, direct debits, etc., it must be conceived in such a move.

How can I use the GLS:
open an account via the Internet at GLS wait until we receive all documents and bank cards from there, has the old account cancellation.

My experience:

I have just signed up my bank account, my impression of the settlement, I'll update here gradually. Although I also (still) can not tell from my own experience on the GLS-Bank, I've decided to post this review now because I'm not on the internet could find a single critical voice, though I for over an hour later I searched. All the reviews were very positive.

GreenAction.de is an interactive platform for everyone from Greenpeace Germany. Here one finds a large number of participatory events and petitions from Greenpeace, other non-profit organizations from the environmental and animal welfare as well as green-action members.

How it works: Each
greenaction member can organize your own action. Will you join in, click on them and then see on which way you can get involved-for example, sign a petition recommending the campaign or participate in an action. Find a commendable action, this can be also distinguished by an asterisk; know each other well, one can be a potential co-author. Of course you can write to each campaign also comments (suggestions, criticism, praise) and add other users as friends.

Where is the environmental benefits:
course, this depends on the particular actions, but they all arise out of environmental motivation.

Where's the catch: Each
can start an action. This leads one hand, that there can be multiple actions to the same topic (eg, for deep-sea current issue), on the other hand, are actions relating to the part a little disorganized or not well thought through. Here we see a difference between a well-meaning private person and an experienced organization.

How can I use green action: create a free account
Simple (" activists are "), enter as many or as few data and information about yourself as you want (the real name is not a must), and then browse through the campaigns.

My expertise:
the most part, positive. Having fast access to a large number of current campaigns can sign such a petition with one click (on many pages still have to specify its name and possibly also addresses) and gets some good tips (as I have this posteo. de and GLS-Bank * discovered). I'm about once or twice a week for 10-15 minutes on the site reached this to me about new promotions to inform and possibly get involved.
is positive in any case, that really can run any one action. Established organizations like Greenpeace can only work on a limited number of actions, of Green Action has to take the opportunity to easily aware of other problems and so may make a difference.
nervous it does me, if one is poorly organized and of itself a meaningful green action by the responsible user. Some poorly described, inadequately researched, the legality of the action has not been verified or similar, which casts an unprofessional, unflattering light on this platform.
Ultimately, however, these negative examples the exception, most of all there are searchable campaigns depending on your personal situation prospect useful and informative. Many users have experienced Greenpeace who participate here and there in support of campaigns.

Fair sneaker alternatives to Puma, Adidas & Co.

who held open a little in recent years the ears knows by now how bad the working conditions in Asian factories of various sports shoe manufacturer. This is not the topic because on top of that, many of the materials and operations of brand shoes and environmental and consumer harm, eg by the use of toxic tanning agents for leather or banned toxic dyes. Despite the low material and wage costs are more expensive brand shoes-you pay, the customer, containing for marketing, stock dividends and so on. Eco-fashion was now quite notorious (flowing batik garments with self-carved wooden beads, topped by a scratchy wool sweater), there are now but a lot of really stylish party in sneakers, for example, the company Ethletic and Veja .

How it works:
Veja made in Brazil and used rubber from wild rubber trees, cotton and leather, which was stained and vegetable tanned.
Ethletic used FSC-certified rubber and organic cotton and manufactured in Pakistan.
Both companies are Fair Trade certified, a guarantee of pay, working conditions and health care far beyond the industry and Common out.

Where is the environmental benefits:
go for leather production no toxic tannins in the regional waters, as is the case with conventional shoe manufacturers. The natural rubber for soles, etc. is from naturally grown trees and not from large monocultural plantations.

Other advantages: guarantee
Fairtrade certification the workers good working conditions.

Where's the catch:

• Compared to Deichmann and similar no-name vendors, the shoes are more expensive: Ethletic sneakers cost about 55-60 € depending on the model where you pay depending on the model Veja 75 - 125 €.
• Both brands can be obtained only in a few stores, where organic fashion is sold, but also a problem over the Internet: Chuck's on-Ethletic fairdealing.de , Veja eg Glore .
• There are no known brand we are thus exposed to the suspect to wear low-kicker ...!

How can I use the eco-offenders: Tighten

Now, to strap start running, done. ;-)

My expertise:

Consistently good. I found these brands 1.5 years ago and now have 2 pairs of Chucks Ethletic and 3 pairs of Veja (yellow and white volleyball, gray-purple and purple leather Grama Taua), all wearing very frequently and yet it is precisely at the Veja shoes almost no wear-a much better quality than the brand shoes, which I had before. there's the compromise

footbed that may well be that virtually absent. I do not care, I always wear eh deposits, and Chuck knows that you just do not otherwise (including Converse Chucks are mega-flat), Veja could upgrade their sneakers, however.

fall general, the boots in my opinion compared to German rather small and narrow off in-between sizes I would order one number over it.

The design is a matter of taste, I like it very much (especially the Veja Volley retro-wonderful), but which must each decide for themselves.

the price am I willing to pay, you have really long some of the shoes, the price-performance ratio is just right. I have refereed to brands anyway always been important to me were quality and Ausehen, and I found both Ethletic and in Veja.

The Veja shoes and my first Ethletic pair I bought some reduced in Munich Glore shop (beautiful, modern clothes, incredibly nice owner), my first online order at Ethletic arrived within 2 days at home. About the Glore-shipping I can not say anything.

Genetically modified lactic

Nestlé, Milupa, Weihenstephan, bear brand, they sell all the products that were used for the production of genetically engineered plants.

The cows from which the milk is to be treated, using genetically engineered food. Manufacturers are aware of it, their argument is that tests not prove that such products are made of lining really harmful. Only, unfortunately, these tests are not evidence, too, that such products are harmful for feeding un . Greenpeace is one of the groups that just did not tested the long-term risk has not be assessed for as long as not proven beyond reasonable doubt was that these products are actually harmless. In addition, GM plants are generally a problem that should not be supported. This topic is far too complex for this post, so at this point only the Greenpeace petition to the respective companies , requesting the help of the example their competitors (eg, "love of country") to follow and to ensure that the cows are fed their dairy farmers halogen-free.

Are Surenos Rivals With Crips

email and ad-free

About the interactive platform greenaction.de I'm on the email provider posteo hear. In my former provider GMX had nagged me unbelievable, given once daily advertising mail that I am not always interested, was therefore not only the word "green," but also "no advertising" an eye-catcher for me.

How it works:
posteo consists of a young three-man team working ethically and ecologically. Important are his own words functionality, convenience and safety for the users, sustainability and efficiency for operators. On offer is a webmail program with all the usual basic functions, additional functions are being planned. All data is encrypted on the servers, the servers are even in "highly secure data centers in Germany."

Where is the environmental benefits:

• posteo for both servers and the business premises is only true green electricity from Greenpeace Energy used.
• We only use recycled paper.
• When choosing the hardware was paid to energy efficiency.

Other assets:

• The mailbox is by its https encryption more secure than the accounts of other free email providers.
• customer data will not be disclosed.
• user a clear improvement to YouTube.
• antivirus

Where's the catch:
posteo is not free, you pay per month 1 € and for 12 months in advance (there in case of early termination, it returns the money or you can donate it an organization).

How can I use posteo: login
A email account, either by Paypal or bank transfer to the Annual Fee for transfer. An email account is already active immediately after application, regardless of the payment.
I suggest to import the contacts from the old e-mail provider (at posteo there is a tutorial how to do it) to write to all your contacts and inform them about the change of address, and forwarding of all emails from the old provider to the new set up (even for this there is a posteo instructions).

My expertise: Everything
wonderful. The application was completely straightforward, I had to store any personal data, e-mail account was immediately. Within 10 minutes I had set up forwarding on YouTube posteo and the complete Address book transfer. Then I wrote a mail to all collection, tentatively set up some filtering rules as well as the signature-all not an issue.
I had with the transfer something left over a week, what seemed to be a problem to the email service was running on full.
The user interface is a pure relief to YouTube: you can simply delete emails via Delete key, or move to another folder for the insertion of email recipients, it is sufficient to write the name in the "To" field ... All in all, much less cumbersome Klickerei, the whole is much more pleasant and, above all, faster than YouTube.
I regret this step to Posteo a bit. One euro a month I can get over me in the many plus points.
is also sympathetic to me that posteo consists of a young three-man team that is manageable and I do not feel that the full scoop in their pockets win.

No oil drilling in the deep sea

Greenpeace Germany has admittedly used a relatively long time to regard the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico to come to the house shoes-only since early July, Greenpeace is officially active. The reason: the disaster came, of course, without notice, and a large-scale campaign will carefully considered and be planned. For lack of alternatives Greenpeace calls not officially BP / Aral boycott (which can each hold as he likes), but fights for the fact that deep-sea drilling is stopped and no further licenses will be awarded for (this is planned by many oil states, including in the North Sea).

The helplessness and the inability of the BP Group and the strikingly cautious approach on the other oil companies make it clear that no one is able to get an oil leak in the deep back under control. There is no solution for the case of a malfunction, the consequences for ecosystems, humans and animals are devastating.

can here to sign your official Greenpeace petition - calls with it, your along with Greenpeace on the management teams and boards of German oil companies, on oil drilling in the deep sea give up and a change to make in its energy policy a priority.
