Austria

Klagenfurt

Every day, we can read newspaper articles about the pollution of the air and the water and about the destruction of the rain forests. Reports about the pollution of the air by industry and traffic can always be found as well.

Le masque de l'Autriche

The one who suffers is our Earth, and now it is talking to us:

"It will only be years until I draw attention to my condition with environmental disasters, floods and climate change. Because of the high environmental pollution, the ozone layer around me has already changed strongly, and you humans still don't react!

Many of you try to find causes of that climate change, but not enough people are ready to contribute to the protection of our environment. I would like to tell you: it is high time to do without the car and go by bike sometimes. More energy should be saved because the smoke from each chimney harms me. Please do not destroy my rain forest as I need it for breathing.
Think about that; why haven't there been any real seasons in recent years?
You don't show enough consideration for me and make me ill.
Every single one of you can contribute to me feeling better again. Of course, it will take years, but every step is a good one towards my recreation."
