Climate

Our lifestyle in the Western world has a tremendous influence on the worldwide climate.  Through extensive use of technology we generate a lot of greenhouse gases.  For example every time we use a means of transport or we grow or manufacture food.  Through any use of energy we release CO2 which has the largest impact on our climate.  

CO2 collects in the atmosphere and acts as an insulation shield, which means that excess heat is no longer released into the universe.  As a result of which the temperature on earth is gradually increasing.  Ever since the beginning since the industrial revolution the average temperature of our planet

There is overwhelming agreement that the average world temperature is rising ever since the beginning since the industrial revolution.   Scientists estimate that it will rise further between 1.4 C and 5.8 C over the next 100 years.

Rather than engage in the endless debate about whether - and to what extent – we, as humans, are responsible for climate change, Nature & More is encouraging its affiliated companies and growers to act.  

One of the possibilities to reduce CO2 is to plant more trees, which bind CO2.  This is being done by many initiatives (such as http://www.plant-for-the-planet.de).  Organic growers have the possibility to increase the CO2 holding capacity of their soil by incorporating humus-rich compost.  Nature & More stimulates compost product in many ways.  

In cooperation with Soil & More International, we strive to address the world’s biggest environmental and agricultural problems, such as soil degradation, climate change, increasing carbon dioxide emissions, the excessive use of water and the increasing amount of waste. Using a sustainable business approach that unites ecological and social aspects with economic success, we contribute to making this world a healthier, better place for future generations.
