Environmental awareness and education: Young people set signs for the future!

At the beginning of a new year, Austria has taken an important step. From January 1, 2025, a disposable deposit will be implemented that aims to protect the environment and reduce the amount of waste. This measure is more than just a theoretical exercise, it is already actively supported by committed students: inside the region. The pupils of the HTL Zeltweg have launched an initiative that makes it possible to donate deposit amounts for the Austrian Children's Cancer Aid. This turns deposit amounts into real help and support for needy children.

Since June 2023, the deposit amounts can be donated directly to machines of a large retail chain. This measure not only promotes environmental protection, but also the social commitment of the population, which creates a double benefit. This is a great way to convert your own little deeds into big changes.
