World Earth Day 24: Planet vs. plastic
Natch shows you how you can make the world a better place every day!
Water is life. Water is life - and without water, no life is possible! Because only if this indispensable lifeline is clean can humans, animals and nature exist. So far, so clear!
In 2024, the motto of the annual World Earth Day is "Planet vs. plastic". The aim is to draw attention to the increasing pollution of the oceans by plastic, while at the same time encouraging consumers to play an active role in protecting the oceans.
Earth Day, which was launched by US Senator Gaylord Nelson, first took place in 1970 and was intended to raise awareness of nature and the environment even back then.
And that was and is urgently needed.
Natch is the planet's best friend!
Around 75% of all marine litter now consists of plastics (hard plastics and microplastics), which in figures means between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes end up in the oceans every year. In the Mediterranean alone, for example, around 83,000 rubbish containers full of plastic are dumped into the water every year. Did you know that plastic can last up to 200-600 years in the sea? Although some of the rubbish is weathered by the sun, once it has sunk into the deep sea, it remains there for many years. According to NABU, a plastic bag takes 200 years to decompose, a drinks can 200 years and a plastic bottle around 450 years. A fishing line remains in the sea for up to 600 years. This plastic waste poses a serious threat to nature. The pollution is immense and tens of thousands of animals fall victim to these mountains of rubbish every year.

Small tips for everyday life
Save water: Never leave the tap running without reason and use rainwater to water your plants. Brush your teeth with Natch, you don't need water for this.
Check cleaning products: Only use hygiene and cleaning products that do not contain microplastics and use it in messure. There are numerous plant-based products that do not harm the water cycle or nature, try them out!
Shop regionally: Buy products from your earea that don't have long journeys or extensive irrigation systems. Products from controlled organic cultivation are good for the soil and your body. Eat a meat-free diet - meat production consumes vast amounts of water and pollutes the soil.
Environmentally friendly clothing: look for labels that produce sustainable and fair products. Don't be part of "fast fashion", but wear your favorite pieces for a long time. Give clothes to second-hand stores or give them away to people in need. The aim is not to throw anything away, but to reuse everything.
With our tabs, we want to inspire positive thought-provoking impulses that have an impact on your entire everyday life. We are addressing all people who value environmental protection and sustainability.
Let's celebrate and care for earth together!
As always, we look forward to a lively exchange and are eager to hear about your experiences on World Earth Day.
Yours, Norbert & Heber
