CO2 score in university men's: So environmentally conscious the studies eat now!

From January 6, 2025, the CO2 footprint is displayed in the canteen of the Schleswig-Holstein Student Union in Warm Courts. This affects institutions in Kiel, Lübeck, Flensburg and Heide (Dithmarschen district).

In order to determine the CO2 score, criteria such as seasonality, cultivation procedures, transport and processing are taken into account. The data basis used for this comes from the Eaternity database, which has been based on life cycle analyzes of food since 2009, such as

Furthermore, Eaternity also offers a water shortage footprint, which is considering various aspects of water use and regional water availability.
