Environmental Protection Office Releases Climate Protection Handbook

Pforzheim, a city in Germany, has launched an innovative resource called the Climate Protection Checklist. This free guide is designed to help residents reduce their carbon footprint and embrace a more sustainable lifestyle.

The Climate Protection Checklist offers a wealth of information and practical tips on various aspects of climate protection. It is divided into four categories: food, consumption and lifestyle, mobility, and construction and energy.

In the food category, the Checklist highlights the importance of buying regional fruit and vegetables. By supporting local farmers, you can contribute to climate protection. The Checklist also provides a free energy analysis to help you understand your household's energy consumption and offers subsidies for regional food purchases.

The consumption and lifestyle section offers advice on reducing energy consumption in households. This includes tips on energy-saving electronics and practical ways to reduce packaging waste. The Checklist also includes a collection of vouchers for free services related to shopping, leisure, gastronomy, and climate protection consulting.

The mobility category provides suggestions for climate-friendly means of transport. Whether you're looking for ways to bike more or switch to public transportation, the Checklist has you covered. It even offers a free bicycle check to ensure your bike is in top shape for your sustainable commute.

In the construction and energy category, the Checklist offers advice on making your home more energy-efficient. This could involve insulating your home better or installing solar panels.

The Climate Protection Checklist is available free of charge at the Environmental Protection Office. Further pick-up options will be announced on the Climate Protection Portal, which will be the future location for announcing additional resources and information related to climate protection in Pforzheim.

The Climate Protection Checklist is part of the city of Pforzheim's Climate Protection Concept. Its aim is to draw attention to the diverse climate protection offers available in the city and to encourage residents to take action for a more sustainable future.
