Abfallwirtschaftstagung fand an der Uni Graz statt

"Gelebte Nachhaltigkeit - auf dem Weg vom Wissen zum Tun" - unter diesem Motto stand die Grazer Abfallwirtschaftstagung am 31. Jänner 2013 in der Aula der Uni Graz. "Das Prinzip der Nachhaltigkeit soll von der Nische in den 'Mainstream'", so die VeranstalterInnen der ARGE Abfallvermeidung. Die Tagung fand in Kooperation mit dem Institut für Systemwissenschaften, Innovations- und Nachhaltigkeitsforschung (ISIS) der Uni Graz statt.

 

Vizerektor Martin Polaschek, Stadträtin Lisa Rücker, Wilhelm Himmel, Nachhaltigkeitskoordinator des Land Steiermark, und Barbara Hammerl, ARGE Abfallvermeidung, bildeten das Diskussionspodium unter der Leitung von Redakteur Klaus Höfler. Im Anschluss hierl der Soziologe Manfred Prisching einen Vortrag zum Thema "Warum nachhaltig leben? Nutzen eines nachhaltigen Lebensstils für Individuen und Gesellschaft."

 

Die Tagung ging den Fragen nach, wie von vorhandenen Erfolgsbeispielen gelernt werden kann und wie jede/r in seinem/ihren persönlichen Umfeld aktiv(er) werden kann, um Nachhaltigkeitsgedanken konkret umzusetzen. Best-Practice-Beispiele demonstrierten die „Erfolgsrezepte“ funktionierender Umsetzungen in Unternehmen, Regionen sowie im Privatbereich.

 

Die "Nachhaltigskeits-Landkarte Steiermark" soll damit Schritt für Schritt mit neuen Kooperationen und Ideen erweitert werden.

Cosmetics in the environment: University of Graz proves danger to ants

Titanium dioxide, which is found in cosmetics, for example, is increasingly entering the environment in the form of nanoparticles. This could also put insects at risk. If ants ingest the substance in combination with the pesticide glyphosate, it disturbs the development of their offspring. Scientists at the University of Graz are drawing attention to the negative consequences of this toxic cocktail.
