🧠 CCCA-Wissenssnack: Ernährung
Better eat your veggies!💚🥕
Was wir essen, beeinflusst nicht nur unsere Gesundheit, sondern auch das Klima. Rund ein Viertel der weltweiten Treibhausgasemissionen stammt aus dem Ernährungssystem – insbesondere aus der Produktion tierischer Lebensmittel.
Eine fleischlastige Ernährung erhöht zudem das Risiko für Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen, Typ-2-Diabetes, Übergewicht und bestimmte Krebsarten.
In Österreich liegt der Fleischkonsum etwa dreimal so hoch wie von der Österreichischen Gesellschaft für Ernährung empfohlen.
🌱 Eine pflanzenbetonte Ernährung senkt nicht nur Gesundheitsrisiken, sondern kann auch rund die Hälfte der Treibhausgasemissionen einsparen.
📬 Die CCCA-Wissenssnacks bieten im handlichen Postkartenformat verständliche Einblicke in vielfältige klimarelevante Themen – kompakt, wissenschaftlich fundiert und mit weiterführenden Informationen.

"Preventable and curable illnesses like malaria, HIV, and tuberculosis kill millions of people each year, mostly in low-income countries with few healthcare resources. […] Poverty, lack of education, inadequate or absent clean water and sanitation systems, crowded living conditions, unsafe sex, limited health care facilities, and lack of vaccines lead to the disproportionate burden of infectious diseases in the developing world."

<p>"This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen" by Tadeusz Borowski is a poignant and harrowing narrative set in the Auschwitz concentration camp, drawing from the author’s own experiences as a prisoner. The story is presented through a first-person narrator who vividly recounts the daily horrors and chilling routines faced by inmates, particularly those in the Canada Kommando, tasked with unloading new arrivals. The narrative begins with stark imagery of prisoners arriving en masse, facing a grim fate while the laborers scavenge for survival, bartering for necessities amidst the chaos. </p> <p>Borowski's story starkly illustrates the moral complexities of survival in such dire circumstances, showcasing how the instinct to live can lead individuals to participate in inhumane acts against others. The narrator grapples with feelings of horror and disgust, yet finds a disconcerting sense of normalcy in the routine of the camp. The narrative touches upon themes of collaboration, guilt, and the instinctual drive for survival, as the prisoners' experiences become intertwined with their roles in the machinery of death. </p> <p>The text serves as a powerful commentary on the human condition, exploring the lengths to which individuals will go to endure, while simultaneously reflecting on the desensitization to violence that can occur in extreme situations. Through its stark and unflinching portrayal of life in the concentration camp, Borowski’s work compels readers to confront the unsettling realities of human behavior under duress.</p>
"Air pollution – the combination of outdoor and indoor particulate matter and ozone – is a risk factor for many of the leading causes of death, including heart disease, stroke, lower respiratory infections, lung cancer, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) [for 8 million/year]"
