Four Help the Climate

“We are the good ones. Or so we thought. And when we believe that, we soon stop thinking about it. Until we investigate our ecological footprint and find that we too are to blame for climate change. If we want to limit the temperature increase to two degrees, then we also have to reduce our CO2 consumption. But how is it done? What kind of a life is it? Is a stored organic apple more climate-friendly than an organic apple from Chile? What is better, pork or beef? Plane or car?” A family of four attempted to live a climate-friendly life and to reach good compromises in day-to-day life. They researched and kept a housekeeping book of their climate sins. In this entertaining report on their self-experiment, they explain what works and what doesn’t, what is really effective, what is fun and what experiences they have gained.
