What can I as an individual already do for the sustainable development of our society? A lot, actually!
Because: You are not alone!
Sustainable development and climate protection have now become key political issues. With the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), nations around the world are setting standards for a promising future. Politics and business have committed themselves - e.g. as part of the Paris Climate Agreement (COP21) - to acting for a sustainable and resource-conserving society. The course has been set. But it is not enough for politics and business to decide to do something.
The association SOL - People for Solidarity, Ecology and Lifestyle believes that each individual must make their own contribution. For this reason, the self-experiment project was launched - the idea is to spend a month trying to create a task for a sustainable lifestyle!
There are 3 subject areas for this, which you will then implement from September 11 to October 10.
The topics for one month are
- Self-experiment 1: → Consume regionally, ecologically and fairly.
- Self-experiment 2: → Make sustainability a topic: inform yourself, talk to others.
- Self-experiment 3: → Leave the car at home.
