Enlarging the ecological handprint
- Globes, Tom Albrecht, Performance, Berlin, 2010
We can increase the ecological handprint by influencing the environment and society to protect resources more, e.g:
- in target groups: Neighbors, friends, public, colleagues, company, association, politics
- Vote for the Climate Protection Party
- Donations to Greenpeace, ADFC, Klimaschutz im Bundestag e.V.
- Ecol. Start or support initiatives in the home, in the neighborhood, among acquaintances
- Set up a sustainability working group in the association, at the workplace
- As an artist ecol. Working on and exhibiting themes in the plant
- Demonstrate: Climate demo, “We’re fed up”
- Go to an ethical bank. Current accounts: GLS Bank, Ethik Bank, Triodos Bank, Pax Bank, Umwelt Bank for loans, call money accounts, savings contracts. Invest money sustainably
- Formulate political demands, join for-future-buendnis.de
- Writing letters to the editor, members of parliament
- Correcting fossil narratives in online forums

People
A train ride through Germany
“A train ride through D
See the trees and think some might die.
See the cows and think of their methane.
See the streams and think they might dry up.
See the high voltage towers and think of more solar power.
See the houses and think they are not ready for the new climate.
See a perfumed woman and glad to wear a mask.
See the ground seal flat buildings and think of water floods.
Experience the German Train chaos and think of former Head Mr. Mehdorn, who also thought the market would fix it.
See the future of the world gloomy. It is hitting our children and now the countries that are already threatened.
So slowly the future arrives.
In our case, it’s the pools that we’re no longer allowed to fill, the foresters whose forest is dying away,
the farmers who do not get enough water, the water workers who have problems with nitrates.
The time as a carefree post-war child is over.
Something positive
See the green admonishers in academia, the green actors in society, the green struggling politicians.”
Vacation in apple chemoland
Vacation in apple chemoland
South Tyrol the apple chemical country
In the middle of it all the star top hotel
The guest does not want to know.
Little tree on the rack
They wear a lot and drop.
Varieties green and a little red.
The grass withers from the chemo ray
The water rushes and drips
Top nets gray for protection
Insects and the birds hardly
There is drought in the land.
But three biotopes there
There are the frogs
Even birds call lonely
One rejoices in the insect
Sprayed the 60 substances 20 times
Poison measured in the drift
In summer, village and mountains.
The market is like that.
One knows about the extinction of species.
Criticism of the pesticide comes to court.
Fortunately, the opinion prevailed freely.
This is how you live now as a guest.
But rejoice in life.

High pesticide drift pollutes environment
Berlin full
When is Berlin full? When the rents are too high, the real estate too expensive, the summers too hot, the greenery missing, the traffic congested, the soil sealed?

Corona time. Crisis as an opportunity
In winter
Whoever accepts them, protects himself and others, can do well.
Those who cling to the old, resist, are stressed.
There are new things to discover,
the quiet street,
the winter bloomers fragrant,
the winter bloomers shining,
the unfamiliar bench for five minutes,
with wine and savoury biscuits,
the walk with friends,
the walking that makes you warm,
People, things, architecture that never stood out,
Looking forward to spring, plans for places opening later.
In the spring
It’s a difficult exercise.
Letting go of comfortable habits
From physically traveling, physically consuming, physically encountering.
Farewell to Higher, Faster, Further.
Practicing making do with what you have.
Practice digital begetting.
Working for a climate-friendly future
Industrial culture
