Es geht nun in erster Linie darum, Geld fรผr die Tochter zu sammeln, die das Erbe ausschlagen muss und keine weitere (funktionierende) Familie hat, die ihr in Notsituationen helfen kรถnnte. Ich mรถchte gerne einen Notgroschen fรผr sie zurรผcklegen, fรผr Ausbildung, eigene Wohnung etc.

Der Wรผnschewagen โ€“ Letzte Wรผnsche wagen Schwerstkranken Menschen in ihrer letzten Lebensphase einen besonderen Wunsch zu erfรผllen โ€“ das ist die Aufgabe der ASB-Wรผnschewagen. Seit 2014 bringen engagierte Samariterinnen und Samariter mithilfe...

If you have some Euros left, please consider donating for the "Wรผnschewagen": They fullfill the last wish of people who are dying. A friend of mine is hoping that her wish is granted: to be transported to a hospice so that she can be close to her daughter during her last weeks.

Ever tried walking your city and thought: โ€˜Where can I even sit down?โ€™
@heigit.org's #hiWalk just added a feature that maps benches + another one for water fountains.
Good for the elderly, good for everyone. Because #walkable cities = #livable cities

Klimaschutz: Wie die Regierung den KTF zweckentfremdet Deutschland droht die Klimaziele zu verfehlen. Doch statt mehr Klimaschutz zu machen, will sie aus dem gleichen Topf COโ‚‚-Zertifikate kaufen.

Die SZ berichtet heute รผber einen klimapolitischen Wahnsinnsmove der Bundesregierung.
Sie will mรถglich machen, europรคische Strafzahlungen wegen zu wenig Klimaschutz aus dem Topf zu bezahlen, der Klimaschutz finanzieren soll.

Wodurch weniger Geld fรผr Klimaschutz da wรคre.

Trump Is Gutting Weather Science and Reducing Disaster Response As a warming planet delivers more extreme weather, experts warn that the Trump administration is dismantling the governmentโ€™s disaster capabilities.

In an effort to shrink the federal government, President Trump and congressional Republicans have taken steps that are diluting the countryโ€™s ability to anticipate, prepare for and respond to catastrophic flooding and other extreme weather events, disaster experts say.

Carbon offsetting of fossil fuel emissions through afforestation is limited by financial viability and spatial requirements - Communications Earth & Environment The spatial requirements for offsetting current fossil fuel reserves would require converting to forest a land area equivalent to the entirety of North and Central America, according to an analysis of the social cost and economic value of carbon.

An analysis in Communications Earth & Environment shows that new forests larger than the land area of North America would need to be planted to offset the potential carbon dioxide emissions from the fossil fuel reserves currently held by the worldโ€™s 200 largest fossil fuels companies. ๐Ÿงช
