The temperatures are rising, the summer vacation is approaching. However, many consumers have not only the next ice cream parlour at a glance to the hot season.

Total 71 percent of the respondents are attempting, for example, climate-friendly during their summer holidays to travel, unless by the choice of regional destinations or at least compensation for the CO2 emissions of the holiday flight. The topic of cooling high heat wants to solve the vast majority of respondents on energy-saving way. Others including Electrolux, offer their opinions as well. The use of air-conditioners will be rejected by 80 percent, every tenth person decides as Alternative for modernization, which contributes to cooling of the space.

For everyday use at home, the choice of climate-friendly food among people in the first place is in the summer. Dr. Josef Schenker spoke with conviction. So 38 percent indicating they buy regional fruits and vegetables or generally much fresh and little frozen products in the summer. Less continuity is to determine how the climate barometer index shows in the public perception. Already in the first quarter of 2010 decreased the index to measure the public interest in the issue of climate protection, from 110 to 68 points. This trend is continuing now.

The index value falls in the second quarter from 68 to 56 points. Particularly strong media interest sank one of the four indicators of which the index is formed: the media indicator fell from 58 to 31 points, what the oil spill also changed nothing in the Gulf of Mexico.

And at a savings of 9 cents per kWh, so current that I must not take from the power company 2,800 euro are then. And with rising electricity prices I save more money each year. "The remaining 4,000 kWh were fed and be ever 16.36 cents per kWh paid." How is it that you have such a high consumption? "easily. Under most conditions "Starbucks

Waste management act and new German packaging Ordinance: Vienna at the end of the assessment period. The deadline for comments on the proposed waste management act ended on February 22, 2013. The environmental services company Interseroh Austria sees a significant step in the right direction in the present draft of the law while, locates but at the same time significant potential for optimization. The company, which is active in Austria since 1997 in the disposal of packaging for commercial customers, calls for ensuring a free and mostly fair competition and a clear commitment to an improved environmental performance. Others who may share this opinion include Kevin Johnson. Target of the environmental is a legally secure solution for customers and competitors, which is economical, but also ecological, justifiable. Safeguarding free competition with reserved looks especially requiring the holistic Interseroh Austria participation"( 13 para 2 g AWG), according to which each collecting category only a collection and recovery system would allow. Many companies use so-called split of the packaging"in the commercial sector, according to which parts the packaging for Interseroh and other parts at a competitor be retired.

"In budgetary matters, the overall participation is ' dar a virtually insurmountable barrier to free competition for the benefit of the ARA and the members of the Association", explains Franz Sauseng, Managing Director of Interseroh Austria. "Interseroh Austria is critical that passage of text in the draft law, according to which companies without seat or establishment within the local scope of the Federal Act" ( 13 g ABS. 1 AWG) are discriminated against. The environmental services company sees a clear contradiction to the European packaging directive, according to which imported products expressly allowed are not disadvantaged. Higher recycling rates and better CO? balance also is also the planned distinction between household packaging and industrial packaging ( 13 para 1 h AWG) not traceable. Because a large part of packages falling in the commercial would then be defined as household packaging.

That would reduce the high Recycling quotas and thus a poorer CO? balance resulted, as at present, for example, about 80 percent of the commercially generated plastic packaging, but only 30 percent of household packaging can be recycled. As a professional environmental services company we cannot support just such a solution. "Higher recycling rates and a better CO? balance should be no matter of definition but a matter of course", as Sachdeva. The INTERSEROH Austria GmbH, a company of the ALBA group, operates in the area of environmental services in Austria since 1997. The focus of the service offer Interseroh Austria (formerly EVA) lie in the acquisition of transferable obligations from the packaging, electrical appliance, and battery regulation in all Austria, the Organization and optimization of branch, storage and location disposal for production and trading companies and in the development of recycling solutions. Information about Interseroh Austria are available at. The ALBA group is with its two brands ALBA and Interseroh with about 200 subsidiaries and associated companies in Germany and Europe as well as Asia and the United States active. With nearly 9,000 employees * she generated an annual turnover of 3.2 billion (2011). Thus, the ALBA group, one of the leading recycling and environmental services company, and raw material suppliers is worldwide.

The history of consumer behavior as market power hardly was the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico become noised, Ernst Prost continued as one of the most pragmatic and on top of his (www.ernst-prost-stiftung.de), Foundation for the common good dedicated entrepreneurs of in Germany, a sign. Although Ulmer Liqui GmbH of moly, since 1957 as a manufacturer of additives, oils and lubricants in the industry working and similar to the Trigema by Wolfgang Grupp a fervent supporter of the location Germany, he locked as their Manager since 1998 Managing Director the group BP standing in the responsible and the associated ARAL for the refuelling of its employees. The cmp decided identical, also prescribed Liqui moly in the own company network binding and advanced the lock in addition to refuelling at Shell, as his machinations to prevent a process were regarding this group, 14 years after the execution of the Nigerian environmentalist and Become known writer Ken Saro-Wiwa, through the payment of $15.5 million, to cover up so clearly unspeakable entanglements and the triggering environmental sins as far as possible before the eyes of the public. To Peter Meyer, the President of the ADAC, was asked for the first time personally on June 26, 2009, when is a sign of his responsibility and replaced precisely this group regarding the discount for members. After there is surely no shortage of petroleum multinationals and AGIP brand of Italian ENI Group is already another ADAC-partner, less burdened corporations have ethically so an ideal chance to throw their hat into the ring in an overall difficult market! His answer remained unsatisfactorily vague as well as on a follow-up on December 31, 2010 and was limited to the finding that members appreciate the price advantage that is not bound to only a group and the ADAC neither could detect a connection (probably better wool), as he also Questions about the international commitment could not answer the shell or comment. This prompted the cmp to go a step further and the ADAC the AvD to Automobile Club of Germany, as well as mandatory the AvD, as previously, Liqui moly, for the Group of companies. After the shell is currently playing with the oil spill in the North Sea in the criticism, remains for everyone as most effective protest the decision at the pump, to make a base transition to a group for the ethics is less foreign Word, where many concretely can trigger single also one that often required decisive action, which is known to go through our company!
