How do I contribute to climate change?

According to the Federal Environment Ministry, the largest share of the average German citizen's greenhouse gas emissions is due to their own consumer behavior. Furthermore, the areas of nutrition, heating and mobility (excluding air travel) massively increase CO2 emissions per person. Electricity, air travel and public emissions also have an amplifying effect.

What can everyone do to combat climate change?

Who live more climate-friendly can do this by making simple changes. Preferring public transport, trains, bicycles or walking to driving or flying makes a real difference. Eating a regional, seasonal, plant-based diet without animal products, consciously avoiding waste, switching to green electricity or modernizing your home in an energy-efficient way are just a few of the countless other possible measures.

What is the greenhouse effect - simply explained?

The earth's surface emits heat radiation into space, but water vapor and carbon dioxide absorb a certain amount of it. This is the natural greenhouse effectwithout which the earth would be completely iced over.

Since industrialization, however, the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases has been increasing. As a result, even less heat radiation can escape into space, which is why the Earth's surface is increasingly warming to an unnatural extent. As this process is caused by humans, it is referred to as anthropogenic greenhouse effect.
