Of course, more measures are needed to halt or offset the decline in biodiversity. Both politically and socially. We have summarized a few simple but effective examples of how you can protect biodiversity in your everyday life:
1. buy certified organic food: By buying fresh organic food, you are not only doing something good for your health, but also for the environment. By doing so, you're supporting organic farming, reducing pesticides in the fields and improving animal husbandry. It's best to buy as seasonal and local as possible. You can find more about organic quality and tips on which labels you can use as a guide when shopping on our website on organic quality.
2. do not use chemicals in your own garden: Refrain from using synthetic chemical pesticides and commercial fertilizers in your garden. These get into the water through the soil. Instead, use compost or fertilizer from the organic food store.
3. eat less meat: Meat production not only endangers global biodiversity, it also creates a lot of water and land consumption. If you don't want to give up meat completely, buy and consume less and organic.
4. reduce ecological footprint: Whether driving, shopping, heating or going on vacation - all our activities leave an ecological footprint and have an impact on the environment. Reducing our ecological footprint also helps biodiversity. When traveling, you can do this easily by choosing a certified BIO HOTEL. There, the food and drinks come from certified organic agriculture with the shortest possible delivery routes. In addition, the BIO HOTELS carry out a CO2 balance every two years and many of the establishments are already climate-neutral or climate-positive.
