Besser einkaufen
Summary
Dieses Hörbuch ist ein Wegweiser durch den unübersichtlichen Dschungel aus Lebensmittelvorschriften, Tierhaltungs- und Produktionsbedingungen, Handelsstrukturen und Herkunftsquellen bei Nahrungsmitteln, der das tägliche Einkaufen so erschwert. Die Journalistin und Nahrungsmittelexpertin Katarina Schickling zeigt, was man beim Einkaufen beachten kann, wo Verbraucher hinters Licht geführt werden, welche Siegel vertrauenswürdig sind, was das Kauderwelsch auf Zutatenlisten wirklich bedeutet und wie Kunden das gelingt, was sie eigentlich wollen: mit gutem Gewissen gute Lebensmittel kaufen. Als Fernsehjournalistin macht sie seit vielen Jahren Filme für ARD und ZDF über Ernährung. Sie hat für diese Dokumentationen oft in Ställen und Fabriken gedreht und viele Male hinter die Kulissen der Lebensmittelerzeugung geblickt. Die Ergebnisse dieser Recherchen gibt sie in diesem Hörbuch weiter. Aufgeteilt nach Lebensmittelkategorien macht sie die Erzeugung von Lebensmitteln transparenter: Warum ist Milch so billig und weshalb ist das nicht nur für Konsumenten in Deutschland schlecht, sondern auch für die Menschen in Afrika? Welche Eier stammen wirklich von glücklichen Hühnern? Woran erkennt man, wieviel Zucker tatsächlich in einem Frühstücksmüsli enthalten ist? Welchen Rucksack an ökonomischen und ökologischen Konsequenzen kauft man mit ein, wenn es selbst gemachte Guacamole zum Abendessen gibt? Viele möchten so gerne alles richtigmachen: Lebensmittel für den täglichen Bedarf einkaufen und dabei ein gutes Gewissen haben: politisch korrekt erzeugte Produkte, ökologisch ausgewogen, zu fairen Erzeugerpreisen. Ein Verbraucher sein, der das Tierwohl und die Transportwege bedenkt, sich gesund ernährt, und all das, ohne ein Vermögen auszugeben. Dabei stößt man jedoch ständig an Grenzen: Regional klingt plausibel - doch die Ökobilanz eines chilenischen Apfels kann, je nach Jahreszeit, besser sein, als die eines Bodenseeapfels, der seit der Ernte im Kühlhaus lagert. Saisonal einkaufen hilft beim Sparen - aber wer weiß schon noch so genau, was wann wirklich wo Saison hat. Selbst wer immer das Teuerste kauft, geht nicht auf Nummer sicher: bei REWE, zum Beispiel, kann die "Ja!"-Milchtüte zuweilen die identische Milch enthalten, wie die doppelt so teure "REWE-Frischmilch". Katarina Schickling wirft einen Blick hinter die Kulissen: Man erfährt, unter welchen Bedingungen die Hauptnahrungsmittel Milch, Eier, Fleisch, Brot, Obst, Gemüse, Olivenöl und Kaffee wirklich produziert und gehandelt werden und wie man mit dem eigenen Kaufverhalten Fehlentwicklungen maßgeblich begünstigt. Denn fast nirgends wird so wenig Geld für Essen und Nahrung ausgegeben wie in Deutschland. In deiner Audible-Bibliothek findest du für dieses Hörerlebnis eine PDF-Datei mit zusätzlichem Material. >> Diese ungekürzte Hörbuch-Fassung genießt du exklusiv nur bei Audible.

DIY RV Solar Power
Summary
Do you have an RV, camper, or even a boat, and are looking for a simple and easy to install solar system? Or even one you can do yourself? Well, you’ve started at the right place. This book is about using solar in your RV, boat, van, or something along those lines. Mobility, remoteness, and high power requirements are the three elements they have in common. It turns out these elements make a significant difference when it comes to the things you have to consider, how you go about installation, the equipment that is needed, and the way you use and maintain it. Most people think of solar and instantly visualize the panels that go on top. Well, yes, that’s part of the story. There are so many other things that go into making sure that when you go to turn on a switch in your RV in the dead of night in winter or in the middle of nowhere, your heater comes on from the collectors up top to the wires and junction boxes, batteries, and other equipment. In this book, we discuss a variety of topics, such as: How kids relate to electricity A workout on the theoretical terms and conceptual frameworks of solar power The reality of solar power and the super easy practical aspects of getting it designed and installed, including a questionnaire to help you gauge exactly what you need “Critical mission parameters” - or the two main concerns about solar power A simplified strategy to increase your amp-hours when hooking up your batteries What came first: the chicken or the egg? Actually there is no chick or egg, just appliances versus solar power Do you want a quantitative or qualitative approach in choosing your solar panels Putting it all together: General step-by-step instructions to do-it-yourself RVing with solar power is a great way to untether yourself from the trappings of a stationary world. Getting closer to nature and finding your peace is all tied to how well you can make it comfortable within your RV, and how easy and hassle-free you make power generation. As time passes, you will see that your comfort and peace are closely tied to how efficient your power system is, and that is the reason you want to look for quality systems instead of cheap systems. I show you how to do that and stay on or under budget. You will benefit greatly from this book. That much I can promise you. So what are you waiting for? Buy it today to get started today. You won’t regret it.

Replacing your regular shampoo with bar shampoo. How to lobby your supermarket to remove unnecessary packaging. How to throw a plastic-free birthday party. How to convince others to join you in giving up plastic. Plastic is not going away without a fight. We need a movement made up of billions of individual acts, bringing people together from all backgrounds and all cultures, the ripples of which will be felt from the smallest village to the tallest skyscrapers.
