Sustainability and inclusion: Ludwigshafen combines gardeners and athletes!

Sustainability and inclusion: Ludwigshafen combines gardeners and athletes!

On February 17, 2025, the importance of sustainable engagement in Rhineland-Palatinate comes into focus. With 30 hobby gardeners, the association "Colorful Gardens Eifel" has committed itself to integrating more sustainability into everyday life. The personal cultivation of fruit, vegetables and herbs plays a central role here. Elisabeth Dichter-Hallwachs is an example of this initiative: she uses her own garden and only buys the food that she cannot grow in the supermarket. This reflects the country's overarching goal of becoming climate -neutral by 2040, whereby the focus is on sustainable cultivation. [SWR] reports that these efforts should initiate a long -term change in people's lifestyle.

Another important project is the including bowling championship, which was launched 14 years ago by the chairman of the Disabled Sports Association Ludwigshafen, Peter Stahl. This event, which takes place in Ludwigshafen, pursues the goal of bringing people together with and without disabilities together. Such initiatives strengthen inclusion in society and sport in its connecting strength.

Democratic dialogue and environmental engagement

The Mainz women Amelie and Constanze launched the "Democracy Coffee Caffeum" at the same time. This initiative takes place on the banks of the Rhine in Mainz on Sundays and promotes the dialogue between people with different opinions. The aim is to listen and discover similarities, which is of great importance in the current political landscape. Such discussion formats are crucial to strengthen social cohesion.

The students from Mainz have been committed to protecting rare plants in the Mainz Sand nature reserve for 25 years. You actively use arithmetic to combat invasive plant species. This project underlines how important it is to contribute to the preservation of nature with concrete measures and protect local flora. [SWR] emphasizes that such initiatives are not only ecologically but also socially valuable.

social integration and responsibility

An innovative project in Rhineland-Palatinate is the first supermarket in a youth criminal offense in Schifferstadt. Here, prisoners aged 14 to 24 have the opportunity to make up to 35 euros once a week. This initiative aims to teach the prisoners, to take responsibility for themselves and to prepare for a life after detention.

Sport also plays a central role in promoting solidarity and quality of life. [Sport development] explains that sport conveys values such as fairness, tolerance and performance and contributes to inclusion. The challenges of climate change and social justice are increasingly being discussed in the sports clubs. A new club compass supports you in developing sustainable concepts and being sustainable.

In summary, these diverse initiatives show how important communal commitment is in various areas of our society. Whether in the garden, in sports or in social interaction-the people in Rhineland-Palatinate are actively committed to a better and more sustainable future.
