Filderstadt students win 2,000 euros with waste avoidance video!

Filderstadt, Deutschland - In the district of Esslingen, class 8b of the Dietrich-Bonhoeffer-Gymnasium in Filderstadt triumphed at the “Mission Müll-Free-Party without Waste” competition. As the Nürtinger Zeitung reported, the pupils showed in their award-winning video, which they mastered the organization of a Halloween party with minimal plastic waste. For their creative and environmentally conscious approach, they received a symbolic check of 2,000 euros on December 5, 2024, presented by Michael Potthast, the managing director of the District Establishment (AWB) of the Esslingen district.

The competition was initiated to sensitize young people to avoid waste. Potthast emphasized the importance of sustainable decisions, especially when you avoid disposable dishes. "If young people consciously decide against disposable cups to create little waste, it is an important step for climate protection," he explained. The second place went to the sustainability AG of the Schlossgymnasium in Kirchheim Unter Teck, which was rewarded with 1,000 euros for her class fund. This year's competition will take place again in 2025, and the new topic will be announced after the summer holidays, as explained in a statement by the district office.

This initiative illustrates how education and commitment to young people can compensate for environmental issues. Class 8b not only demonstrated its creativity, but also made a valuable contribution to climate protection by presenting the importance of waste avoidance in an entertaining and educational manner. Further information about this competition can be found on the websites of the Nürtinger Zeitung and the Esslingen district office, which documented the event and praised the winners.
