ENVIRONMENTALLY MINDFUL
OUR RECENT ACTIVISM
BY BEATRICE K ., SHANAN R ., JULIA R . JEZELLE R . AND CHRISTINE R .
Our Environmentally Mindful ( EM ) team has been busy this autumn with protests , walking tours , trash pick-ups , and more ! Members protested at the Global Climate Strike on September 25 with over 16,000 other Hamburgers and millions across the globe calling on political leaders to take action against the rising temperatures and ecological disasters . Twelve members attended the Hamburg Filmfest to see I Am Greta , a remarkable documentary about how the Swedish teen activist Greta Thunberg took the world by storm and inspired others to stand up for climate justice . We also held our first zero-waste walking tour in October . We visited three local zero-waste businesses in Eimsbüttel : the grocery store Bio . lose , the vintage shop Fabulously Old Things , and Monger Store & Deli . While we toured each store , the owners explained their green business practices , what inspired them to take action , and goals for the future . Stay tuned for walking tours in your neighborhood , and if you would like to recommend shops or host a tour , please let us know !
We are constantly trying to spread the word about environmental activism , no matter how large or small . Every month , we will host an AWCH Müll Pick-Up Weekend , where members can walk around their neighborhoods , collect trash , share their progress on our EM Facebook page , and even sometimes vie for a prize . Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for weekly updates of our “ Tips for Tuesdays .” Each month , one of our members dedicates a zero-waste theme . October was zero-waste kitchen , November was zero-waste Thanksgiving , and December is zero-waste clothing and holidays . Let us know if you would like to host an event or activity !
