Is store-bought mineral water better than tap water?
Some people drink it conveniently from the tap, others lug it home in crates: water! But which water is healthier and which is more climate-friendly and sustainable? Find out how we can best quench our thirst in this article.
Electricity & energy – Pull out the plug!
Every Google query eats up electricity. So much so, for example, that we boil a liter of water every 30 Google searches. And electricity naturally has a CO2 footprint. Google is still a long way from being completely CO2-neutral, but has set itself the goal of operating completely CO2-free by 2030. Google is – who would have thought it – the largest search engine in the world with over 3.5 billion search queries daily.

Power & Energy – already switched to LED?
Greenhouse gas emissions in the EU are to be brought to net zero by 2050. This means that by 2050, a balance must be achieved between the amount of emissions produced and the emissions removed from the atmosphere. This is intended to contribute to the reduction of global warming. On the way there, it is necessary to halve emissions approximately every ten years. In the course of this, clean energy should also be made available to all those who lack it. To achieve this, necessary turnarounds are needed, one of which is the transformation of energy systems.
Vegetarian, vegan, flexitarian – what helps the climate?
Our food system – as new studies show – is responsible for around one third of global greenhouse gas emissions, primarily through the production or consumption of meat products. In Germany, about 10% of people now follow a vegetarian or vegan diet. Young and female people in particular are increasingly opting for a vegetarian or vegan diet, and the trend is still rising.
