588 PKW je 1.000 Einwohner sind Rekord: noch nie war die PKW-Dichte in Deutschland so hoch. Trotzdem fordern Union, selbst Grüne Spitzen wie Özdemir und Kretschmann noch mehr Autos anstatt konsequent kollektive Mobilität zu fördern, ersticken Städte und Infrastruktur im Blech von Einzelfahrer*innen.

Also, was kann ich tun, um gesünder durchs Leben zu gehen? Das ist ein zentrales Thema unserer Forschung.
Faustregeln gelten sicherlich nicht für jeden und das ist wichtig: Die Abnehmstrategie muss langfristig zu Dir und Deinem Leben passen, sonst ist der Misserfolg vorprogrammiert.

🌿🔊 New research find natural soundscapes—especially those rich in bird song—boost mental well-being.
But how? 🧠✨
We found that these soundscapes work first through perceptions of bird diversity, and then building (awe) & restoring (stress reduction, restorativeness) capacity pathways.

New @eprg-surrey.bsky.social article by @konraduebel.bsky.social, Eleanor Ratcliffe & @melissamarselle.bsky.social finds natural soundscapes indirectly influence mental well-being via perceived biodiversity and restoring and building capacity mediators www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Natural soundscapes are associated with mental well-being via capacity-building and capacity-restoring pathways
Soundscapes from natural areas are an important cultural ecosystem service that can promote greater mental health and well-being. However, the mediati…

Es fällt so auseinander, wie auf der #COP30 gerade konstruktiv visionär über Klimaschutz gesprochen wird, über Wachstumschancen und wie demgegenüber in der deutschen Debatte Klimaschutz kleingeistig als Wirtschaftsbremse zu deklarieren versucht wird.
