Touching climate protection: Viennese climate tour inspires in Meidling

The Viennese climate tour recently made a stop at the Meidling adult education center. With the aim of promoting awareness of climate protection and sustainable ways of life, an expert team presented interactive stations on the topics of circular economy and nutrition. This interactive event enabled the participants to receive practical tips on resource conservation and environmentally friendly consumption.

The bicycles used for the climate tour are more than just a means of transportation; They act as information platforms. At the circular economy station, visitors were shown opportunities for how to avoid waste and practice recycling. The station for sustainable nutrition presented recommended foods from regional and seasonal producers to emphasize the importance of local products.

Common commitment to climate protection

Climate Councilor Jürgen Czernohorszky emphasized the responsibility that everyone has: "It is our responsibility to encourage people to make a contribution to climate protection-we want to contribute particularly low-threshold with our climate tour." In this context, the district leader of Meidling, Wilfried Zankl, was also pleased about the great interest of the citizens of climate protection campaigns: "It is great to see how many people want to be interested in and will want to be active."

The Maidling adult education center with its director, Walter Schuster, was also behind this goal. "Visiting the Viennese climate tour enables us to bring the topic of climate protection closer to a practical and motivating way," said Schuster and explained that educational institutions are responsible for preparing society-especially youth-for the future challenges of climate change.

A look at the success of the climate tour

The Viennese climate tour started in 2022 with a fleet of eight electric cargo bikes that drive through the city to clarify about climate desk. The bicycles cover a wide range, including nutrition, water, energy and environmental protection. A special focus is on the city's climate timetable, which shows the way to climate neutrality.

This initiative is a sign of how important education and education are in the fight against climate change. The interactive stations are not only sources of information, they also offer citizens the opportunity to ask questions to city experts and to find out about the complex relationships of the climate crisis. While the tour continues to tour Vienna, it remains to be seen how the commitment of the population develops and what new knowledge will open up to citizens.
