Einfach besser handeln. Simply better acting. | Fred Schüttler | TEDxTuebingen

[Music]

when i was in my first study

I was looking for something quite dissatisfied

because of how I like my ecological

somehow clean up

can

So I’m doing the usual research

and at some point then right

Greenpeace left two weeks later

I have a weekend with the theme

direct and non-violent action

a few weeks later I got up

harbor of rotterdam on one

inflatable boat in case of a

water throwers and blocked with many

other an incoming super

freighter around on the explosiveness of fossil

coal in terms of climate change

to interpret

from my indignation over the current one

able to the feeling really

to be able to do something about it

Only a few weeks passed and so on

quickly it was so easy

I would even say that nowadays

it’s as easy as never before

It has never been easier than here

and get involved today and the

things to improve

today almost ten years and quite a few

I think about it later, sometimes

of course that was good or

bad or was that something brought

at the end

difficult to say probably

but impossible, but let’s face it

from this whole right or wrong

debate this black or white think

and lead the good old ones

well-known trust zones or better

still a whole color spectrum then then

I can really say it was easy

better not better than the coal ship

to block

better than not to point out that

there are gaps in security systems

different nuclear power plants gives better

as not to draw attention to it

that for the couple

in our sweets and cosmetics

entire ecosystems are destroyed

better than nothing

on the sea floor video footage of

to make the creatures around the

devastating effect of trawl too

to install

better than not demand that

roads made more bicycle friendly

become

better than not on the chemicals in

to point out our clothes

better than not to use what the

supermarkets and the society

Throwing away the list is sheer

infinite and you know them all

because she is shown to us in the

news, but sometimes I have that

feel that the reporting is more likely

this leads to fainting

Feels that you do not know what you are

to do

but against powerlessness, there is one

well-known household remedies namely the

Protest protest often sounds negative or

sometimes even illegal but in

Germany is civil disobedience

not in the criminal code it anchors

is not even in the fine catalog

listed and also you can protest

always formulate positively

you do not have to be against nuclear power one

It does not have to protest against coal either

but you can really go for it

use renewable energies

I do not demonstrate against transgenics

plant but I sit down for

an agriculture

the diversity of species is celebrated

creates living spaces and ours

food protects on the

call permaculture and Jews in bauverein

Eckberg in Switzerland on the me

i enjoy my life right now

do not even weed

that’s way too negative for me instead

I’m going to reap small amounts of biomass

then dozens of our two

sweet rabbits mumble here

to the best fertilizer and nutritious winter

meals are transformed in the

living communities like the ball away mountain

people go by alone

positive

thin day by day on a sustainable

becoming a life cycle to material cycles

closed

available energies are used and

Raw material imports thus minimized the

the quality of life strangely the

it grows health and

wellbeing somehow make you feel better

alone wide and between these two

very important and not so much

extreme ways of acting so the

protest on one side and the one

permaculture courtyard on the other side

There is a sheer immeasurable

huge scope of action for us

everyone is invited

to play along because every day we come across

on small decision we without

further research immediately for the better

what can happen for example

Better rubbish or singing sounds

Of course recycling exploitation or

Of course we would be fairer

directly for fair trade

decide

exclusion or integration a big one

but still make integration

we play a game out of it

I still have 20 of this hardworking

says the first option if you like me

agree that the second option

much better please drown out

they can make me sound like that

or

really war again or thanks

fossil energy or

[Applause]

nuclear fission or not bad

discounter or the banana or the

exactly the mango or we want

monoculture or best mass goods or

buy broken new or natural

short-lived products or disposable

packaging or clearly fast food

or

much more pleasing

minimum durability date or easy

times china and decide for yourself

1 is missing but nothing motorcycle

or go also carrying him loads better

fly with tires or better for

climate short break or really the

cable car or it will scho me same

come to the end in the final car or

Yes, why does not anyone write a bike?

honestly

they see it is really easy

We are all well informed

about that

and we also know , if you are honest

is what stupid things we do every day

repeat and one of those stupid ones

I want them today

because I’m the last one

two years especially here in

tübingen have dealt with times

accepted

now I have betrayed but the

peta just said that

I suppose I would ask for it

a disturbance of detail on my

to call what would that be

well, pity I thought now come

feet shorts fucking hairstyle well

Of course I want to go to the

disposable cup has never left him

a speaker a shaky paper cup

with on the holy red ted circle

brought

You may think what the morning like

most inappropriate and disrespectful

outrageous it’s because this should

Something ashamed and they know what the

Peter just said they are right

This mug is a shame on

bad joke a symbol of the absolute

contempt of meaning and understanding

because who his coffee with all senses

to know who will be in this

mug see nothing but one

insult and who understood him

he knows that it is only a

another report of ours

society is because of the poor

time you can

be your coffee

In addition, a pour must be us then

in fact, she must break away

have our coffee in peace too

enjoy

instead, we are looking for coffee to go

the peace to take away

just like we are like the coffee

simply embodies the stillness

that’s the keyword because fly

once also embodied freedom and

Today it’s just a long wait to fly

and a few caustic hours without

Full entertainment program barely too

but bridging are the coffee to go

has another problem

and that’s the trash because of everyone

Well-known paper cups he does not just exist

made of cardboard but is from the inside with

That’s why I call plastic coated

we also papperlapapp this one

Coating is only very thin

But it leads to the cup

neither in the old paper nor in the yellow bag

can be recycled

he is virtually non- recyclable

gets burned or ends up on the rest

with plants and these grow

in Germany alone around 320,000

disposable cups every hour

therefore , by the way, I got empty

found him in the Neckar meadow degree

just and save a coffee sugar

milk rest and one

Plastic coating is nothing

more in it

take a look

when I came to Tuebingen threw out

This reason fell by

disposable cups people bitter evil

looks to it but it was a little bit

Satisfactory than me then by one

Weekend course lars is exactly with

would deal with this topic and

I immediately participated in this

Weekend course was spontaneously the

initiative to go to the goal

put a stop to the paper cup

areas and coffee enjoyment

rekultivieren

we organize actions before the

library we informed and

We also got into the press

both television and newspaper and

we set up a website and

networked us with other initiatives

under our co-operation emerged the

know-it-all campaign from

student work maybe some

know as well as our today

flagship better mug better

beaker does not mean comasaufen the

already indicated but his

own reusable cups with in one of the

to bring participating cafes no matter what

for a reusable cup and there discount

to cash

that sounds easy, it is also very important

for the customers, the cafés that hold

to their usual

Hygiene regulations and spend

Self-interest even better the discount

Becher organizes one for it

Collective order of one kind

reusable cup then also directly

to buy in the participating cafés

offered to everyone immediately on

Jumping the train can not be a hurdle

no pointless packaging rubbish easy

a good idea at the beginning of togo say

many in me the driving force as well

a bit of the face of the

initiative and I like to admit that I

probably a little more time with it

spent as other students

and only here on this red

circle talk to them now but the

laurels are no longer valid

because even then I sit down in the

made nest the study ecology kumm

So this weekend course was going on

years of greening university into life

I did not know people

Little but luckily met

I’ve got more salary. Frank sees it

weekend course then actually

have guided

Annette and hedwig gave us the

complete disposable cup thematic quasi

served on the silver tray and woman

Pictures from the university library

opened all our doors even the

cleaning crew helped with and collected

diligent disposable cups which we then

a second chance gave as

Cup and there is the question how many

Disposable cups want to fit in a cup

she is already something bothering her

was in many places in

Tuebingen to simply the topic

to point

We got help every amount we got

poster printed and created graphics

Friends came and helped with the

actions with and even the

recycling centers collected ceramic mugs

for us almost 1000 pieces from togo was

So better we beaker we sent

we leave press releases

organized info stands and evenings 4

even performed screenings

the world was practically at our feet

So you are not quite sure

Thuringia

but there are a few small successes

but to have better cups

several thousand disposable cups from the

taken by several traffic

a thousand returnable cups were put into circulation

has and indeed are with the request

Of course, too

Better mug than initiative that

first brought in the media and

today also serves as a contact person

better cup is one of many

German initiatives are a real one

alternative to

offer disposable cups but mine

personal success is a student of

according to own information five to six

coffee mugs daily

questionable but earlier he has that out

single incoming cups made today

use several cups the whole

history has two things in front of me

first things show that disposable cup

Total nonsense is just like that

most of the others thought in short

disposable packaging and secondly that it

damn easy is that it is me too

damn it was made easy and here

maybe it’s the heart of mine

history we all know people the

we admire her for being special

selfless are that they are their own

screw back needs to the

to serve well

sometimes they even go in

Danger and we think wow I can

Not

they do not have to be that either

joke at the thing there are these people

who do that for us

but these people need something completely

urgent and we are

they need us to recognize their value

and join in saying the whole thing

sign and that’s why I stand

here today and say try it

simply acting better is really

easy

and really just better thank you
