A well researched, interesting article about cows and climate change and the fact that the causal link between meat consumption and climate change is actually not only that cows fart methane.

Party machen, Klima retten

Die neueste Initiative aus dem Bereich "sustainable clubbing" hat es in sich! Sog. eco-clubs verbinden Party machen mit Umweltaktivismus.

In London und New York gibt es den club4climate, dessen Einnahmen direkt an Friends of the Earth gehen, eine der größten international aktiven Umweltgruppen. Der Kopf hinter dieser Sache: ein ziemlich abgedrehter Dr. Earth.

Oder noch besser, nachhaltiges Tanzen: Die Tänzer und Feiernden generieren die Energie, die der Club braucht. Projects Abroad versucht gerade, solche eco-clubs überall auf der Welt zu installieren, zum Beispiel in Rio, Cap Town, Rotterdam und New York. Warum nicht auch in Deutschland?
