Althengstett arrived

Climate protection saves not only natural resources but also a lot of money

The storm of last Friday makes it clear that climate change has arrived in Althengstett. Hail and torrents flooded many gardens, streets and cellars. The sewage was thus, as has lately been the case several times already overtaxed. Especially, it hit the neighboring community Gechingen where the material damage is estimated at "more than four million euros". (Source: Black Forest messenger, sent to millions of storm-damage "of 18.05.2009)

early as 2007, warned the German Weather Service:" Because of climate change, Germany needs to [...] adjust to severe weather. [...] In the summer it will be increasingly strong storms come. "[...]" The change in climate is already concrete, "said Wolfgang Kusch, President of the German Weather Service.
When the annual rainfall also observed an increase. Heavy precipitation, such as last Friday were more than 30 liters per square meter no longer a rarity. If the earth's atmosphere heats up further, to weather extremes such as severe thunderstorms or hail are accumulating. (Source: FAZ.net, "More heat waves and storms in Germany" from 24.04.2007)

What can we do?

should be concerted action by local officials, farmers and property developers are taken to counteract the soil sealing against At the local level.
because "the change of the landscape by humans leads to an increasing Loss of their natural capacities. Very serious consequences and extensions of water surface sealing, but also agriculture and forestry. "
have leads Soil sealing (increasing demand for residential, commercial and traffic areas) to an increased flow of rainfall on the soil surface. Land consolidation in agriculture, wetlands, fens and hedges have been largely eliminated, adversely affecting the natural water storage features of the landscape considerably. "The use of heavy machinery contributes to increased surface runoff. It comes to soil compaction and a resulting loss Infiltration capacity. This effect is particularly affected the rural roads network "(Source: Hanna Schmitt." Floods: causes, protection and concepts in Germany "Seminar management of river-coast systems, Department of Geography, University of Kiel, winter semester 2003/2004, S.5f .)
All this reinforces the high-water formation, but is preventable if climate and environmentally friendly agriculture, and community development approaches are implemented.

At the individual level can protect every citizen and every citizen actively the climate and the environment and save money strong. The following ten tips give you a hint, because prevention is the best medicine - even against high water. (Sources: www.klimawandel-global.de, www.greenpeace.de, www.eco-world.de)

first Room temperature reactors
with a reduction in room temperature by 1 degree saves you and your family up to 75 liters of heating oil and about 40 EUR per heating season!

second (Shift up early, for example) saving driving style with auto
With efficient driving you can relieve the climate, save up to 120 liters of gasoline and about 160 EUR per year.

third Equipment off
The standby mode consumes unnecessary power electronic devices. Therefore, better when not in use Sockets off!

4th Car sharing Car sharing form
spare the wallet and the environment, when colleagues live nearby to offer this possibility.

5th Public transport use
public transportation or bicycle use, as opposed to directly drive small distances by car. The greater the utilization of public transportation, the lower the fare.

6th Eat less meat
meat consumption = high power consumption due to costly production. Eat once a week season vegetables instead of meat and save 20 kg of CO2!

7th Buy organically grown food from your region . When organic farming, only about half of energy is required. For long transport distances also caused unnecessary emissions: A meal of 100 grams of asparagus from Chile caused solely by the transport of 1.7 kg of CO2 emissions. From their own region the asparagus season is only 60 grams

8th Replace old light bulbs with modern energy-saving lamps. Pro 60-watt light bulb that is replaced by an equally bright 11-watt bulb, you save in 20.5 kg of CO2. What sounds a little can make a big impact. An estimate from the UK says: If only a standard light bulb per household against an energy-saving lamp replacement can ensure a (coal) power plant be shut down.

9th Switch to a green electricity provider independent. This very easy to implement action brings enormous for the environment a lot. An average 3-4 person household can result in savings of up to 1.9 tonnes of CO2.

10th Switch to a green electricity - Web host provider. The 24-hour operation of a web server with a power of 350 watts requires a lot of power. In Germany there are about 50,000 data centers, which will need about 8.67 billion kilowatt hours. The annual CO2 emissions of all the German data centers shall be so around 5.6 million tonnes.

new construction area at Täfelberg

The Greens councils require a sound basis for decision

on a new construction area at Täfelberg has been discussed for months in the municipal council and the public with fair and factual arguments. The sticking points are mainly the footprint calculation using outdated statistical data (data based on 1990 to 2002), the lack of real estate inventory of undeveloped vacant land, land conversion (eg, previously used land) and vacant buildings in the city. For a sustainable settlement concept This data is essential.

The Department has given the communities a simple calculation method to the hand with which they can determine the space requirements, for example, for the next 15 years (do not have to!) Without an expensive architectural firm would be charged with.

on the table must also have expressed facts about the secured property developers of people who are interested in a building site, on the investment and subsequent costs for the community as to the suitability of the site, the loss of landscape / nature and the associated interference with the climate, quality of life and health of citizens as well as the present offers Althengstett private property market.

This may involve the local councils, the facts stated in its decision on a new construction area at Täfelberg, Councillor Gisela Gröger presented in the council meeting on 29.04.2009 the following subject application with the request for discussion and vote. Unfortunately (wanted?) The councils of the FWV, UWV, SPD, CDU and the mayor does not seem to understand the request. After all, the administration plans to present at the next meeting a summary of the undeveloped land. That would a step in the right direction.

kind request of 29/04/2009

The local government should submit to the council before the decision on the Statute decision on building area "rounding Täfelberg" a footprint calculation on the basis of current figures.

justification

The council may adopt a responsible and sustainable decisions only on the basis of concrete and current information.

To achieve this, the council reliable information about the current real estate holdings in the district Althengstett

o of developed land not built on
o conversion areas (eg area cents acres)
o in abandoned buildings (houses, Barns, etc.)

, held by the administration requests for building land in the district Althengstett must be specified that the short-term property developers is demonstrated by the willingness to conclude a preliminary contract.

In the plausibility check whether a new construction area should be deported to the latest forecasts by the Statistical Office of Baden-Württemberg for the population development as a basis.

addition, the Ministry of Economic Affairs Baden-Württemberg, where the municipalities, a calculation method for examining the need for housing and commercial space on the hand (notes for the plausibility the construction areas need evidence in the permitting process for Building Code § 6 and § 10 para 2 Building Code of 1.12.2008).
This calculation scheme allows an understandable statement about the land requirements for the next 15 years.

For the community Althengstett the calculation scheme of the Ministry in this case, although not necessarily apply. Because the consequences of a new construction area at the edge of town but far into the future and the project is controversial among the public, is a careful and necessary for the local councils and citizenship comprehensible calculation.

change of heart? OUR

Top 4: Löschwasser-/Trinkwasserversorgung Neuhengstett was in the 29th council meeting April at the request of Günter Ayasse (CDU Association) by Mayor Dr. Götz without a vote taken from the agenda . Günter Ayasse also expressed on behalf of the Free / Independent Voters Association's desire to consider alternatives more carefully. were not the only ones

in the preliminary approval in the TA - The two Greens Gisela Gröger and Klaus Rohbeck ! - believe that the issue was not discussed in public according to its importance.

was what this agenda item?

future should there be for Neuhengstett no black forest water!
going since about 2004, the investigation of the water network by the RBS wave. Water supply and pressure in accordance Neuhengstett seem not to comply (Worksheet W405). The same problem was Ottenbronn in 2006 by the construction of a second Loop (for now?) Solved. (No question of cost!)

of problems in Neuhengstett was so far no talk!
Only in the years 2007 to 2009 were set in the medium-term budgetary planning by 2013 a total of 590.000 Euros for measures to "increase the water supply, improvement of the pressure and the fire power. "

happen is unfortunately nothing yet!

wave The investigation of the RBS (known so far no local council!) Remained in the drawer and was first excavated in October 2008.

drinking water is our most important!
Neuhengstetts The population was far from the planned change little with (intent?), Because only a flat fee rather sparse of "Water supply" was mentioned. Who would suspect there can show that this same serious impact on the drinking water supply Neuhengstetts has? In general, in the last 20 years in veiled reference to the actual composition of drinking water Neuhengstetter much ....

transparency is different.
Why was / is there no public meeting / information (such as the planned animal rescue center and the Täfelberg)?
The only credible alternative instead of pure water of Lake Constance, according to a high template container - with extra costs in the amount of 400,000 €. The listed as a disadvantage inefficient solution (increase in operating costs) is not understandable, as for example in December 2008 completed the elevated tank Security of supply in Möttlingen for us only an increase of water price of 1.15 € to 1.18 in 2009 means.
And the reasoning in the TA session, the representatives of the 18 unitary councils would be acceptable to when a vote is only the "cheaper" version is not acceptable (Althengstett is the largest customer in the end, association and has 6 representatives) - if it does not even try is!
The cheapest option for 210,000 €, which lays in maintaining the composition of drinking water installation 2-3 fire water tanks in Neuhengstett before - what is it?
It is not only the hardness, of from 5.6 to 9 degrees increases (with eg more rinsing, washing and Entkalkungsmittelverbrauch) the higher nitrate and possibly in the houses required installation of pressure reducing valves, but a further departure from the regional water supply, to a supply, by their cross-border leasing transactions million losses "earned" has unpredictable consequences for the price of water .

It was only recently that everything possible should be retained in his own hand. It will not be dependent (see connection of the sewage plant Ottenbronn: Instead of following the natural slope to Hirsau the entire Otten Bronner Wastewater for a lot of money rather than to Neuhengstett Althengstett pumped up the mountain) - it was much more important in drinking water are just as thought and acted.

addition, the population must be fully informed before this decision.

Hopelessly ..... fared

The three newly planted trees on the Euler-Eaves is no different from their predecessors in the same place! However, these at least many decades grow and thrive before, as foresters Martinek put it, a tree fell victim to crime.

The two lime trees and the maple were planted almost since they were already damaged insidious. They probably do not survive.

One can only hope that this time the polluter can be held accountable!
