No plan B
The earth, the common home of all living beings, is a precious commodity. It is a source of food, water, air and energy. However, despite this fact, previous dealings with her in the past were often thoughtless and ruthless. Decades of exploitation and pollution as if there were no consequences. However, the reality today is different: the environment is in a critical state. The effects of climate change, water pollution and the destruction of forests and habitats threaten not only nature but also human survival. It is more than time to realize the responsibility of taking care of the planet. And each of us can do our part to protect the environment and promote sustainable practices.
Set an example for a more sustainable future
Die Business operations in Duisburg have decided to present a sustainability award for the first time this year. We are looking for committed sustainability projects in Duisburg that have ecological value and thus contribute to conserving resources and protecting the environment. With this initiative, Wirtschaftsbetriebe Duisburg would like to set an example and encourage people to get involved in a more sustainable future.
The Sustainability Award of the Duisburg business enterprise honors citizens who, with their innovative ideas and projects, make a significant contribution to the responsible use of the environment. Participants over the age of 18 have the opportunity to take part and win a prize. “Use the opportunity to appreciate your efforts and provide further impetus for a more sustainable future,” says Volker Lange, Corporate Communications at Wirtschaftsbetriebe Duisburg.
