Favoritner climate protection festival inspires with creative hands-on stations!
Reumannplatz, 1100 Wien, Österreich - On June 5, the first climate protection festival of the initiative of the same name took place on Reumannplatz in Favoriten. This event, which is to take place every two years, is all about climate protection and is organized by schools in the 10th district. The event is supported by the Volkshilfe Community Work as well as by the children's friends and the district head. District head Markus Franz (SPÖ) deliberately chose this central location to offer citizens: inside practical tips on how to act more environmentally conscious in everyday life.
Over 20 interactive stations invited visitors: inside to participate and think. The participating schools, including the technical middle school 10 and BG/BRG Pichelmayergasse, designed a diverse program. In this way, interested parties were able to discover second-hand fashion or learn how to repair a bike. There was also information about the garden in the district and the possibilities for checking electrical appliances. In this regard, the event worked closely with organizations such as Global 2000 and the Grätzllabor favorites. The clear message of the festival was: "Climate protection begins in Grätzl".
Creative hands-on stations
People had the opportunity to build garbage sculptures, deal with climate time machines or to take part in games about the future jobs. The solar cooking boxes and the textile screen printing were just as interesting. These actions not only stimulate thought, but also show in a creative way how environmental protection can be integrated into everyday life. The results of these creative actions were eagerly presented by the students: inside and citizens: on the inside.
A highlight of the festival was also the climate protection award, which has been awarded annually since 2019. This price will be presented with the climate protection festival in the future. The winners of the last award, the technical middle school 10, offered the guests a "climate name" that made visitors familiar with the inside with an environmentally conscious diet.
global responsibility - a look at the box
In the context of climate protection, the World Environment Day, which has been celebrated since 1972, should not be left unmentioned. This year the motto is: "End with plastic waste - recycles instead of throwing away". Numerous events took place all over Vienna on this day, including a live talk by Caritas on Stephansplatz. There, main actors discussed the importance of the second-hand and sustainable consumption, while visitors were able to benefit from discounts during the exclusive late night shopping.
In view of the current challenges, the commitment to a functioning circular economy is all the more important. According to a report by the Federal Environmental Office, which examines the climate protection potential of the circular economy, the settlement waste management in the EU could clearly contribute to climate protection. The reports emphasize that the greenhouse gas emissions can be significantly reduced by technical and systemic optimizations. This is not just about avoiding waste, but also about the use of existing resources for reducing emissions.summarized it can be said that the favorite climate protection festival was not only an important step towards more awareness of climate protection, but also offered a platform that promoted the exchange about sustainable practices. The festival impressively shows how important it is to work together for a better future - even in the small Grätzl.
