Veneer in the trend - the railroads join in
Bonn. Climate protection is a must for everyone who wants to act responsibly. Climate protection today means security for the generations of tomorrow. However, many people wonder how they themselves can contribute to climate protection so that the political goal of a significant reduction of climate-damaging CO2 can also be met. The Initiative Veneer + Nature (IFN) provides a few useful tips that each of us can actually implement. For example, as of this month, Deutsche Bahn has switched from plastic cutlery to veneer cutlery in its to-go catering area. Knives, forks and spoons are stamped and pressed from birch veneer sourced from sustainable forests. With around 500,000 pieces of cutlery produced each year, this is an active contribution to climate protection. At the next party, each:r of us can take the railroad as an example, and buy veneer cutlery instead of plastic. It is compostable and can be recycled.
That wood pulls CO2 from the atmosphere and stores carbon has been known for 220 years. Forests are the green lungs of our earth and therefore act as a carbon sink in the climate system. In order to relieve the atmosphere of CO2 in the long term, it is important to manage the forest sustainably, to reforest with tree species adapted to the location, and to manufacture and distribute wood products. Wood is a valuable gift of evolution. By behaving prudently, buying wood products and avoiding plastic, everyone:r can help slow climate change.
The IFN tips for climate-friendly everyday products:
