With that, the need to act and perform the necessary changes on all levels ranging from personal lifestyle to the entire productive and economic sectors, is no longer debatable. So how exactly is that accomplished? Perhaps we can \ufb01nd the answers we are looking for in a not so distant past. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To take this trip to the past, I sat with my lecturer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/roland-schnell-93496827\/?originalSubdomain=de\">Roland Schnell<\/a> and had a very enlightening discussion. Mr. Schnell had started studying chemistry back in 1972 at the TU Karlsruhe (now knows as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kit.edu\">KIT<\/a>). Here his involvement and insight on environmental matters began. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why was the situation in Germany so bad?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, we must clearly state that this is not the \ufb01rst environmental crises requiring action in the human history. Today, many environmental friendly practices, regulations and technologies are just taken for granted. However, Mr. Schnell went on to characterise the situation in Germany in the 70s and 80s. When it comes to solid wastes, no practical treatment existed. Every village had an open dumpsite where they would dump all their garbage and most probably set it on \ufb01re during the night. This had created horrible air quality in residential areas. Furthermore, no regulations existed to control water quality as well. Therefore, sewages went untreated \ufb02owing into the rivers along with chemical wastes from industries. For instance, parents would forbid their children of swimming in the famous Rhein river. So how did Germany go from such a situation to a country providing potable tap water?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"439\" height=\"514\" src=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Microsoft-Edge-22.08.2019-15_55_10-3.png\" alt=\"A Map of Rivers in Germany\" class=\"wp-image-1791\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Microsoft-Edge-22.08.2019-15_55_10-3.png 439w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Microsoft-Edge-22.08.2019-15_55_10-3-256x300.png 256w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 439px) 100vw, 439px\" \/><figcaption>Pollution levels of rivers in West Germany (1970s)<br><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What role can the public even Play?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The German public played the main role to push to the adapting of environmental friendly technologies and practices in many di\ufb00erent \ufb01elds. Driven by deteriorating air quality, water pollution and health concerns, people started to get together discussing the unacceptable situation and the prospects of change. What started of as small local groups spread across west Germany, soon turned into a bigger alliance. (Nowadays we see them with <a href=\"https:\/\/en.nabu.de\">NABU<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bund.net\">BUND<\/a>) Awareness on those issues was exponentially rising. Additionally, newspapers and other media were increasingly highlighting the environmental problems and concerns. Furthermore,  actions were not limited to demonstrations and protests. Involved citizens and environmental groups took their discussions into town-hall meetings, conventions and local government elections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soon after, the public demands for a healthier environment was being re\ufb02ected in government laws, regulations and policies. It took some time, but in the end, it was reached. Many examples can be given on the evolution that happened. Administrations were established to collect municipal solid waste and treat it in de\ufb01ned zones. Water was being administered according to \ufb02ow and water bodies. Borehole drilling was controlled and would need approval from local governments and waste water dumping was also to be monitored and regulated. As a result, Germany now has countless of such laws regulating waste collection and treatment, air quality, soil quality, water quality, animal protection and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Public has managed to enforce their demands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Clearly, industries feared for their images as well. Under the public\u2019s pressure, they had to adapt their ways proving they are not participating in threatening the health of the citizens and the environment. For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basf.com\/global\/en.html\">BASF<\/a>, one of the industries that was polluting the Rhein river, redirected its chemical dumping pipes into an enormous waste water treatment plant that it had constructed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, the public was able to attain their demands by forcing the remodeling of the political and economic structure to take the environment into consideration. This is actually what allowed for the establishment of research and regulation centres, which combined with the industries\u2019 urgency to save their images, would result in the necessary adoption. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"431\" height=\"387\" src=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Microsoft-Edge-22.08.2019-15_59_35-2.png\" alt=\"Percentage distribution of waste management in Germany\" class=\"wp-image-1793\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Microsoft-Edge-22.08.2019-15_59_35-2.png 431w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Microsoft-Edge-22.08.2019-15_59_35-2-300x269.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 431px) 100vw, 431px\" \/><figcaption><em>Waste management in West Germany (1970)<br> 64% of waste dumped in a primitive manner, 15% land\ufb01lled, 19% incinerated, 2% composted<br><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There have been troubles before. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/dioxins-and-their-e\ufb00ects-on-human-health\">Dioxins<\/a> in air and wastes used to be a big issue. But no one knows about this today because it has been dealt with. As mentioned above, change was attainable through the necessary public pressure enforcing the change of the entire structure. Furthermore, the public was able to ensure that nothing would be given priority over the above causes and have saved the generations to come from the burdens of these crises. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does that mean for us?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, the climate change crises is probably bigger than any other environmental matter we have dealt with in our past. However, perhaps the road to enforce the necessary changes does not di\ufb00er from the roads followed be previous generations. Mr. Schnell summed it up nicely for me: \u201cYou cannot trust the government\u201d. He continues to express some worries. Unfortunately, people rely too much on government administrations and environmental groups to take care of the situation. The public should be constantly involved following up on each matter and making sure it goes through. The climate topic is not just about what we do in our own lives. It is also about the question how we can model our future systems in a manner that is sustainable. Succeeding in doing so, in getting together as a public to enforce the necessary sustainable structural changes is perhaps the only road ahead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Source Pictures:  Engelhart, W.
