Neusiedler schools innovative: climate projects for a sustainable future!

In the past few weeks, the schools in the Neusiedl am See district have impressively demonstrated how seriously they take the topic of sustainability. Three schools - the Neusiedl monastery school, Bhak/Bhas Frauenkirchen and the Neusiedl am See Gymnasium - have developed impressive projects on the circular economy and on ecological topics. These initiatives were realized as part of the climate and energy model region Neusiedler See- Seewinkel, where the focus is on circular economy, climate change, energy efficiency and bioeconomy. This reports meinzirk.at .

The results of these projects were recently presented in a final presentation, the motto of which was: "C2C - Cradle to Cradle: Circular Economy - No question - we have every day". Pupils showed creative solutions and ideas that they had developed in the course of the school year. The mayor of Neusiedl am See, Elisabeth Böhm, praised the commitment of the young people and emphasized the great importance that such initiatives have for the future of the region.

circular economy in focus

The circular economy does not only play a crucial role at the local level. In a world in which the consumption of natural resources is constantly increasing and waste production increases, rethinking is necessary. The BMBF emphasizes that it is important to decouple economic growth from the consumption of natural resources. The circular economy aims to make products and resources usable as long as possible through repairs, reuse and recycling. This is particularly relevant when you consider that raw material consumption and waste production increase sharply in industrialized countries, while further growth in developing and emerging countries further tightens the situation. Information on this can be found on bmbf.de

One of the core principles of the circular economy is the minimization of waste and waste. This essential approach is promoted through education and awareness of circulatory economic approaches. Educational initiatives in schools play a key role here by deepening the understanding of sustainable practices and highlighting the importance of conscious consumption. Successful examples from the economy, such as the repair initiatives of Patagonia or the usage rights of Philips for lighting products, show how companies can actively contribute to the circular economy.

The responsibility of each individual

Not only schools and companies are in demand, each individual has a meaning. By conscious purchase decisions and active participation in recycling and upcycling processes, each of us can make a contribution to the circular economy. If we efficiently use the resources that are available to us and minimize waste, we not only contribute to environmental protection, but also design the future.

The projects of the Neusiedler schools show that you can actively contribute to climate protection as a teenager. The enthusiasm of the students is contagious and makes it clear that sustainability is not only an issue for adults, but also for the next generation of decision -makers.
