In the autumn 2007 in Lower Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania on altogether 1500 hectares genetically polluted rape seeds were sown. So far the Federal states kept the fields concerned secret. The cultivation federation bio country reached before court that Lower Saxony must reveal the surfaces now. Rape seeds remain years germable in the ground up to ten.
Bio country had already demanded 2007 of the Departments of the Environment with reference to the environmental information law to put the gene rape locations openly. The country had refused, now however from the Administrative Court Hanover in addition obligates its resistance up to give and properties admits to give. In Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania the procedures are still pending.
The farmers 2007 had to under-plow the accumulated rape after becoming known the pollution. But since rape seeds can outlast years long in the ground, further the danger exists that on these fields individual gene rape plants grow and their genetic make-up to other rape plants and related wild plants pass on. For
Bio farmers and a beekeeper is existenziell important it to experience, where gene plants sown
are, say to it Harald Gabriel, managing director by bio country Lower Saxony.
Where does gene corn grow?
Also different Federal states are secret shopkeepers. Baden-Wuerttemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate permitted in this year unite farmers, who had sown inadvertently polluted corn seeds to let corn grow up. The harvested plants should be used instead of as animal feeds in a biological gas facility. – With delay – only neighbour directly concerned was informed. The locations of the corn fields were not communicated to the public. The green Bundestag faction again requested the two federal state governments after the judgement from Hanover to put the exact locations of the fields concerned in the location register openly.

Many young people are models for lasting life young person are due to their interlaced communication form and their everyday Lebensführung of models of the lastingness. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon stresses international tags on the occasion of the youth on tomorrow’s Wednesday, that under the slogan & Lastingness: Our challenge. Our Zukunft& stands. The situation of the today’s youth is difficult, so the analysis of the UN chairman. On the one hand young people are suffering-basic of the current economic crisis, since they are affected by unemployment particularly frequently. On the other hand they would carry the burden the present climate change. For the lining up climatic agreement it calls the youth & important partners of a lasting Entwicklung& and hopes for appropriate impulses. Youth researchers and teachers demand however more public perception and support for lasting acting under young person-fully the praise over the youth are AI-Moon particularly due to their often exemplary everyday life guidance. & They pursue a green and healthy lifestyle and spread the innovative use of new technologies, like for example with mobile devices or in social networks in the Internet. They earn our full support thereby, entrance to education and to an appropriate health care, jobs, a financial support and a full entrance to all aspects of the social life too erhalten.& The UN Secretary-General promises to support young people in their development. & Lastingness to promote is the most promising way into the future. Young people can do us this way zeigen.&
& Although the term & #8216; Nachhaltigkeit& #8217; Youth confused, are extremely strong them for lasting topics such as environmental protection or the social justice sensibilisiert.& That determines Katrin impulse weather of Institut for youth research opposite pressetext.de. Environmentalact happen particularly in the everyday life consumption, since young people acquire increasingly fair acted or biologically produced products and notice this also as political choice decision. & However also within the social range young people opposite friends and acquaintance enter against discrimination and for respectful handling among themselves and become for instance with poverty, which they notice in the own everyday life, frequently even aktiv& , impulse weather stresses. Honorary commitment, club membership or the participation in citizens’ forums are frequently used forms of lasting activity.
Competently for the lastingness the youth is however particularly by their communication, stressed also the Jugendforscherin. & Young people develop lastingness in acting and in the articulation ever more frequently in the social networks of the new media, as one with protest movements or SMS Flashmobs in the indication of a good thing recognizes. They react fast and spontaneously, in order to organize for instance solidarity acting. This chance is valid to see it and too nutzen.& All too frequently the contribution of the youth however under its value one sell. & Politicians and media often call young people as rescuers of the future or suffering-basic of the current development. It is however shown much too rarely that young people long already engage themselves for the good thing. Projects with piercing success as & #8216; 72 hours without Kompromiss& #8217; receives much too little positive Berichterstattung.& Youth should be noticed more clearly than political subjects, so the final speech of the Jugendforscherin.
& Also in the school sphere young people are in things environmental acting aktiv& , so Edith Weninger of the forum environmental formation. & If interested young people let themselves often be responded for appropriate projects, however appropriate frameworks and actions need for it. Own initiatives need appropriate Unterstützung.& Particularly accessible for lastingness young people are with ranges of their life everyday life as for instance mobility, nutrition and leisure activities. & Youth are very flexible and inventive, them have less brought in thought pattern and to develop frequent visions as Erwachsene.& In running at present actions, which are to suggest pupils more strongly to the automaticness, are besides school projects with environmental purchase are strengthened promoted.

The climate change is certainly one of the central challenges 21. Century. The possibilities of working against the problem are various: less fly, faster shower, bicycle instead of car, & #8230;
The team of & I plans A tree& for a variant decided and precedes with good example. The idea: Which would be, if each humans in the world a tree would plant & #8211; and each year? Would that have an influence on the climate? It would be at least a step of many, the CO2 – emissions to lower. A hectare forest binds approx. 3.8t carbon per year (approx. 13.82 tons of CO2 correspond). The number varies depending upon soil conditions, water regime, vegetation, etc. & Go raus & #8211; plant one or more Bäume& the call reads. Who even no tree can plant or would like, the organization can & I plans A tree& assign the tree planting and thus to the project contribute. (Source: www.iplantatree.org)
Also the starting UP enterprise Kulau made of Berlin makes now a small contribution to climate protection, by planning the organization I A tree supported. The idea is to bind CO2 already discharged in natural way by planting from trees to. During the action period to at the end of August is given for each order in on-line shop, which exceeds a commodity value of 25, planting a tree in order. The progress can be along-pursued then over Tree more counter on the company the homepage.
KULAU is a young citizen of Berlin enterprise, which is specialized in high-quality coconut products of selected plantations. To the first products pure bio coconut water and cold pressed bio coconut oil belong. All products are manufactured under adherence to high ecological and ethical standards.

Corny Schoko consists too straight once ten per cent of grain flakes, for it however of seven different kinds of sugar, vegetable fat and in form pressed Mehlbällchen in grain form. & Instead of Müsliriegel Müsli Imitat bolt should on the packing stehen& , foodwatch speaker Martin Rücker explained. & By Johannes B. Kerner in the role of the prevented farmer operates Schwartau here substantial Verbrauchertäuschung.&
The fictitious product illustration on the Corny Schoko packing stands in the glaring contradiction to the deception prohibition of the German food right. Of the numerous grain flakes, which are to be seen in the illustration of the bolt, only a fraction in the actual product appears. & Here a Corny bolt was dipped not simply only into beautiful light and submitted of professional treatment of pictures. On the packing all possible one is to be seen, but no genuine Corny Riegel& , so foodwatch speaker Rücker. foodwatch Schwartau requests to show in the future a realistic illustration of its sweet on the packing.
