The SustainICHITY Arena, a traveling exhibition by AOK, recently made a stop in Koching, educating students on the importance of sustainability and health. This interactive event, focused on exploring the relationship between lifestyle, environment, and health, offers practical tips for making daily lives more sustainable.
At the SustainICHITY Arena, students had the opportunity to investigate six interactive modules, delving into sustainability, nutrition, movement, and health. One of the stations, "We Move Things," emphasized the role of movement and mobility in maintaining a healthy and sustainable lifestyle.
Another significant aspect of the exhibition was the clarification of the negative impact of food waste on the environment. Visitors learned how to store and protect food without relying on plastic wrap and disposable containers, highlighting the importance of alternative and environmentally friendly means of transport for climate protection.
Certain foods have large CO2 footprints, and the exhibition explained why this is the case. The connection between nutrition and climate was further explored, educating young people about their personal impacts on the environment.
Lena Kurzhals, a health professional from AOK in Ingolstadt, expressed the importance of inspiring young people to prioritize climate and environmental protection. She stated, "It's worth inspiring young people to make climate and environmental protection a habit."
