Bremen's students reveal environmental sins: tobacco is burdened by our climate!
Bremen's students reveal environmental sins: tobacco is burdened by our climate!
The focus is on health and environmental protection in the current Zisch edition, which was designed by Bremen students. The classes of high school in Schwachhausen and Oberneuland are particularly active, which deal intensively with the topics of climate change and health promotion. Class 9 B of the high school at the Barkhof examined the effects of climate change on the flora and fauna in German national parks. Climate change is discussed as a serious factor in nature, which is underpinned by the students with the help of interviews with a environmental expert and a landscape architect. These experts provide exciting insights into nature reserves in Bremen and the trees in the Harz.The pupils of the Schmidt School go to the older generation, who draw attention to “moving school” in their research. This includes sporting activities and the installation of sports equipment in the classrooms, which proves to be an important building block for health. Class 8 D of the Rockwinkel secondary school in Oberneuland critically deals with significant health aspects.
harmful habits in the focus
The health-promoting program items that the Wilhelm Olbers High School in Hemelingen deals with in their preliminary courses are also important. Here the health -damaging consequences of cigarettes and vapes are gone to the bottom. This clarification is particularly true in times when smoking always reaches new dimensions. A study by the Imperial College London, which was published in the specialist magazine "Environmental Science & Technology", comes to the conclusion that cigarette production creates astonishing four trillion cigarettes per year, which not only represents a health risk, but also causes immense environmental damage. Around 6,500 hectares of forest fell victim to tobacco cultivation annually.A less well -known but equally important topic is water consumption. A cigarette needs around 3.7 liters of water, which means over 1.4 million liters in a life for a long -term smoker. These are water resources that are urgently needed in many parts of the world. These facts in connection with the general topic of climate change show how diverse and devastating the effects of tobacco smoke are. Tipping that is simply thrown away after enjoyment are enormous environmental pollution because they can contaminate up to 60 liters of water and appear as the most common garbage in coastal cleaning campaigns.
climate change and tobacco industry
The cigarette industry also has a significant impact on climate change. It is estimated that it causes greenhouse gas emissions of around 84 million tons of CO2 equivalents annually. To put this in the right light: This corresponds to the CO2 emissions of countries such as Austria or New Zealand. The cultivation practices, which often result in monoculture forests, high pesticide use and deforestation, are particularly critical. In Africa in particular, there are dramatic forest losses that are closely linked to the tobacco construction methods.
In summary, it can be said that the Bremen students make valuable contributions to information about health and the environment. With your projects, you not only show how important a healthy life is, but also how closely this topic is linked to climate change and environmental policy. It is all the more important to point out the harmful effects of tobacco consumption and to take preventive measures to promote a healthy lifestyle.
