Outrage over landfill: Is the e-moped the new scandal in Vienna?

Outrage over landfill: Is the e-moped the new scandal in Vienna?

The discussion about waste disposal in Vienna is becoming increasingly heated. Residents currently fear that the planned site for a new landfill on Arnautgasse in Ottakring not only offers an unsightly view, but could also pose health risks. At the center of this dispute is the debate about e-mopeds and their impact on the city. My district reports that Residents loudly voice their concerns about potential odor nuisance. They see the need to protect the quality of life in their neighborhood.

As a result of the project, residential areas in the area have already been subjected to unreasonable pollution. The city administration plans to use the area as a short-term solution for waste disposal, but the question remains whether such an approach is sustainable in the long term. Critics fear that artificially increasing waste is only a temporary solution and that the consequences could be far-reaching.

The role of social media

Parallel to this contentious debate, the use of social media is becoming increasingly important, especially in relation to the professional context. A surprising number of people neglect their profiles on platforms like Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, even though they spend time there every day. Hootsuite draws attention the fact that 46% of companies check applicants’ social media profiles. A cluttered profile can quickly be the reason why a promising candidate doesn't get the attention they deserve.

More and more companies are turning to active sourcing to target talent via social media. In 2022, 21% of companies were already using this method - an increase from 12% in the previous year. According to Schulmeister Consulting, 97% of recruiters look primarily at career-oriented platforms. It is therefore extremely important to create an appealing profile that meets the requirements of the job market.

Tips for your digital profile

What can each individual do to improve in this area? A well-maintained profile is essential. Users should ensure that their profiles on LinkedIn and Xing are informative and professional. A consistent profile picture and a consistent name across all social networks increase recognition. It is also advisable to present reviews and recommendations from customers to create trust.

Here are some tips at a glance:

• Aktuelles und professionelles Profilbild wählen.
• Profilfelder vollständig ausfüllen.
• Positive Bewertungen einholen und präsentieren.
• Regelmäßig Pflege und Updates vornehmen.
• Unerwünschte Tags von Fotos entfernen.

The fusion of these topics - from waste disposal to the importance of social media for your career - shows how much these aspects influence our daily lives. Whether in the debate about landfill design or in digital professional presence, one thing is clear: there is enough to discuss and optimize.
