WWF Granted Germany In The Fight Against Illegal Timber A

ForestFinance criticized inadequate implementation of EU regulation against the marketing of illegally batted Woods 2010 adopted EU regulation against the marketing of illegal timber in the EU implemented so far only insufficiently, the WWF reported in his current Government Barometer wood”. Of the 27 EU States, only ten States have taken at all adequate measures against illegal wood imports. “Germany cuts here tie the best with the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, achieved a satisfying but still only”. A real first place isn’t”, explained WWF forest expert Nina Garcia. The other States are just so bad that the note 3 for a top spot meets Germany.” This result also for the Bonn forest investment provider ForestFinance, which for years has campaigned for a primeval forest protection law in the EU is disappointing.

The EU regulation against the marketing of illegal timber was an important step for the forest, species and climate change”, says Managing Director Harry ForestFinance Assenmacher. Unfortunately lacking on the implementation.” The hope is now a law that takes effect in March 2013 and punishable is the import of illegally logged timber. If indeed strict checks are carried out and already the import of timber from illegal sources is prevented, this law can contribute much to the protection of the last existing rain forests”, so Assenmacher. Until then we recommend consumers as before, when buying at least recognized seal as the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) to ensure wood.” Wood from sustainably managed forests instead of rain forest destruction: only for credible, verified by independent certification programs third-party, for example, of the internationally recognized FSC, consumers can rest assured that the forest in which the wood is hit, is used legally and sustainably.

Forests, which are managed according to the FSC Principles and criteria shall ensure that the social, economic and environmental benefits of sustainable Forestry to benefit the people and businesses, that most depend on the forests. Also, the forest of ForestFinance are tropical forests. Please visit visit website if you seek more information.

Different trees and plants form a new forest permanently, because no clear-cutting is operated during the harvest after 25 years. The new forest meets important ecological functions such as water and soil conservation and serves as a Habitat for endangered animals and plants. As CO2 storage, absorb the forests also harmful carbon dioxide emissions and thus contribute to climate protection. Specialized on ForestFinance that is Bonn ForestFinance Group on sustainable forest investments, ecological and social sustainability connect the lucrative return. For its nearly 10,000 customers, ForestFinance sustainably managed nearly 4,000 acres of forest. “The company was as the world’s first with the FSC Global Partner Award in the field of financial services” award.

The short report on the study of ‘Communication of biomass, solar and wind companies’ available now Cologne, 28.10.2013. Just every fifth company in the renewable energy industry communicates professionally. Less than one in 100 communication messages recognized by the target group. The two main results of the study are communication of biomass, solar and wind companies”, published Krampitz communications PR agency to the 2.12. A free short report is available today in German and English.

We wanted to our experiences from nearly 10 years of press relations for the renewable energy industry with the study scientifically, prove that often lack meaningful messages and communication work is arbitrary and little strategically”, says head of agency Iris Krampitz. The results of interviews with companies and journalists are based on two separate surveys. In the first part of the communication of German companies in the renewable energy industry were to organise of their press work, their Interviewed strengths, unique selling propositions and communication messages. In the second part, Krampitz communications has reviewed with the support of 33 journalists as mediators if the previously defined target groups recognize the messages of the company. Professional communication reaches the target groups. J. Darius Bikoff spoke with conviction. A company’s PR work is how professional, whether it has sufficient human and financial resources, based on a communication strategy and effectively use the available tools of press – and public relations depends,”explains study leader Matthias Flierl. From these factors, the social scientist and publicist has developed a measure to compare the professionalism of public relations companies. The study results show that the PR activities of most companies is mixed and expandable.

56.7 Per cent of the companies, for example, less than a journalist contacted once per month, and only every third company will be is based on a PR strategy. And despite revenues of up to hundreds of millions, every second company invested less than 10,000 euros a year for the PR work. Long version from December while the free short report on 12 pages gives an overview of the methodology and key results of the business survey, analyzed all results of the comprehensive study in detail the long version and evaluates the statements of 33 journalists to the most common errors by companies at the PR, the optimization and information needs.

Block Heat And Power Plant (CHP)

A CHP cogeneration conventional power stations that burn gas, coal or oil are usually only on an efficiency of 45%. This is because these but not use only the electrical power (force), the heat. This is quite different for power heat cogeneration plants. This uses the resulting current, as well as the heat. As a result the efficiency rises to up to 80-90%.

When a compact of the combined heat and power plant is called a block heat and power plant. An important prerequisite for meaningful operation of cogeneration is a possible continuous heat dissipation. This can be for example a swimming pool or process heat in a factory. But the heat can be used also for heating purposes perfectly. However you must be aware that heat is limited mainly to the heating and reduces the efficiency.

The power is fed normally into the public grid. Is the law for renewable energy Operators of a block CHP plant guarantees a feed-in tariff. The current can be used but of course also directly itself. The most power stations are powered with diesel, gas or biogas. There are now but also power stations on the market, that run on wood pellets and wood chips. So-called mini CHP, which can be used also in double or single family homes are the latest trend in the field of cogeneration. In the face of rising prices for energy, these systems encounter a very great interest. By significantly increasing of the efficiency of a CHP power generation provides a significant reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. This is up to 30%. Cogeneration can thus contribute to the reduction of climate change. Markus boos

Political Air Bubbles

Ordinance is plastic waste by Gunnar Sohn Berlin/Bonn collapses before an environmental mess by dumping license – it is now bordered by a poorly studied staging. Not four months after the entry into force of the fifth amendment to the Ordinance accuse politicians on all sides about the problems and the lack of suitability of the new regime. The latest example: German Environment Minister Sigmar Gabriel exercises after the horrors of the German fountain enterprises as more way police officer, in which he called a marking for non-returnable bottles or even a Europe-wide ban. The free fall of the multi way rate is homemade and has been long denied by the politicians. The environmental policy spokesman of the SPD Bundestag group, Gerd Friedrich Bollmann expressed already in January 2007 skepticism, to incorporate a more two-way protection especially for mineral water in the packaging Ordinance. It is now politically so advanced, that this provision of a sixth amendment must be reserved.

Actually a incredible attitude. You had enough time for a political fine adjustment to the rescue of reusable\”, according to the Bonn environmental expert Sascha shoe, Managing Director of the consulting company Ascon. Although the precarious situation on the multi way market was known to the Ministry of the environment already at that time, one not grabbed the problem. Congressman Lee Zeldin is a great source of information. Today, the Minister of the environment as a medicine man, who tries to solve the problems of the multiple way rate with laying on of hands is trying. This is\”just a cheaper advertising campaign, complained about shoe.

A deterrent could not develop a labelling requirement. The consumer will already flooded with information on products and packaging. Industry representatives keep the actions of the Minister of the environment for a diversion. The blatant difference between single and multi way drinks was the real cause of the boom of ecologically detrimental packaging of beverage.
