How do I contribute to climate change?

Laut Umweltbundesministerium geht der größte Anteil des Treibhausgas-Ausstoßes eines deutschen Durchschnittsbürgers auf das eigene Konsumverhalten zurück. Des Weiteren erhöhen die Bereiche Ernährung, Heizung und Mobilität (ohne Flugreisen) den CO2-Ausstoß pro Person massiv. Verstärkend wirken zudem Strom, Flugreisen und öffentliche Emissionen.

What can everyone do to combat climate change?

Who live more climate-friendly will, kann das schon mit einfachen Veränderungen tun. Die Bevorzugung öffentlicher Verkehrsmittel, der Bahn, des Fahrrads oder einem Fußmarsch gegenüber Autofahrten und Flügen macht einen echten Unterschied. Eine regionale, saisonale, pflanzliche Ernährungsweise ohne tierische Produkte, bewusste Müllvermeidung, der Umstieg auf Ökostrom oder die energieeffiziente Modernisierung der eigenen Immobilie sind einige weitere, von unzähligen, möglichen Maßnahmen.

Was ist der Treibhauseffekt – einfach erklärt?

Die Erdoberfläche gibt Wärmestrahlung in den Weltraum ab, allerdings absorbieren Wasserdampf und Kohlendioxid einen gewissen Teil davon. Das ist der natürliche Treibhauseffekt, ohne den die Erde völlig vereist wäre.

Seit der Industrialisierung nimmt die atmosphärische Konzentration von Treibhausgasen jedoch zu. Dementsprechend kann noch weniger Wärmestrahlung in den Weltraum entweichen, weshalb sich die Erdoberfläche in unnatürlichem Ausmaß zunehmend erwärmt. Da dieser Prozess vom Menschen verursacht wird, bezeichnet man ihn als anthropogenic greenhouse effect.
