Who are we, what do we do? Information in Plain Language
This website was created
and is continuously updated
by the
International Environmental Policy Division
of the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung.
Our division deals with the big environmental problems today:
Climate change,
The loss of plants and animals,
and plastic pollution.
To better protect the environment:
We believe we must change how society operates.
This includes
- Stopping the use of coal, oil, and gas quickly
- The way we exploit nature and people
- Being more careful and critical concerning new technologies.
What we offer
Our info hub shares information and resources.
These can be:
Publications, websites, videos, and podcasts
On various topics such as:
- Lifestyle
We live on a throw-away lifestyle, and plastic made it possible.
- Health
Toxic substances are released into the air and water.
That can make people ill.
- Gender
The different impact of plastics on women and men.
- Oceans
About what plastic pollution is doing to our ocean.
We address these resources to people fighting the global plastic problem.
This includes:
- activists,
- campaigners,
- students,
- teachers,
- groups,
- organizations,
- networks,
- and individuals.
To fix the plastic crisis, we need to stop its source.
We see the plastic industry as the source of the manifold problems.
Because it makes more plastic from oil and gas to increase profits.
