If you eat apple’s between autumn and winter you can say Yes because very much apple’s get farmed in Germany. Germans eat round about 22 kg apple’s per year! The apple is the most popular fruit followed from bananas with round about 12 kg per year. Between autumn and winter is apple season. Germany has 34 thousand hectars of apple farming ground and is the state with the biggest apple growing ground in the European Union. 

But to eat apples could not be a good thing if you eat apples in Spring and Summer. In Spring, the apple’s in the supermarket got stored over winter. The storing of apple’s costs much energy. In Summer it it’s better to buy apple’s from New Zealand or other states were apple’s grow in this season. That’s because the storing over Winter and Spring costs more energy as to transport apple’s around the world.

Solutions

Our problem is that it’s not good for the environment to eat apples out of the apple season. so the first solution to the problem is to eat apples just in the apple season. That way you will get regional apples and apples with good climate conditions. This is a hard strategy but an effective one. But if you don’t want to eat apples whole Autumn and Winter long to get your 22kg of apples a year try alternative easy storing apple products like apple puree or dried apples. 

Through currents the garbage gets transported to calm and stable centres of the sea, where it accumulates in giant garbage patches. In total, there are five big patches of garbage with the biggest one swimming halfway between Hawaii and California. It is about 4.5 times the size of Germany!

The plastic sometimes takes up to 500 years to biodegrade, in which it harms the environment and destroys the marine life and biodiversity. For example seals or birds get tangled in old plastic fishing nets and drown or starve to death. Plastic bags look incredibly similar to jellyfishes: the main food sources of some turtle species. Some plastics also contain toxins which get through fishes to our plates, therefore harming not just animals but also us!

Solutions:

There are more things that contain plastic than you might think. The danger most people forget or don’t know about is called microplastic. These days it is in lots of every day items like shampoo, chewing gum or drinking cans. We can avoid single-use plastics like drinking straws to reduce the plastic waste. Even though most plastic straws were banned, it didn’t really help, as most companies still use too much plastic. But if you go shopping you can use a cloth bag instead of plastic bags. Dispose chewing gums the right way is also a solution by recycling it or buying other organic and natural chewing gums. You can replace plastic Tupperware for glass and steel containers. Also avoiding cosmetics that contain microplastics is very important to safe the world, so you can buy plastic-free alternatives. Try to reuse and give some of the packaging a new purpose for example a bottle can be filled up as many times as you like.

a battery for a cellphone. You need about 15000 liters of water to produce an electric cars. 60000 electric cars are produced every year in Germany. This means that you would need 800 million liters of water to produce all these cars very year. But there is water used to clean the salty water. 7 million liters of water are used every day to do this. There are other ways to extract lithium, for example by mining. The machines that are used to do it have enormous emissions. And people in Cong are mining Cobalt, a metal that is also in the Lithium-Ion batteries. The are working in terrible conditions. It is nearly comparable to slavery. So these batteries have a lot of problems. They are not only not sustainable, but people suffer to produce them for us. But what can YOU do about it…?

One thing to ensure better working conditions and organically produced products is to pay attention to the various seals that are awarded to the products

Solution 2:

Another thing you can do to do less harm to the climate is to think twice about whether you really need it before you order something online so that you don't have to send so much back later

Solution 3:

The Third thing is, that the government could tighten the laws and make the penalties much higher. But for this to work, all countries have to work together and stand up against the big companies, like Nike.

Perhaps you should think more often about whether the google search is really necessary, or whether you might want to read a book instead of netflix. Otherwise you can also use the internet positively to save co2 by doing things that would normally use more co2.

Since the inception of industrial capitalism in England, it has been a juggernaut of waste driving plunder and reckless productions of needless commodities. 

Because of this production it has also pumped billions of tons of greenhouse gases into the air. This is why we start to see the rise of greenhouse gases coincide with the rise of capitalist economies.
2. Capitalism confuses the price something can be sold for with the general value it actually has.
--> things that have no (selling) price are worthless for capitalistic companies/ economies
--> nature only appears in the accounts of a market economy when it becomes a commodity (like forests)
3.  In 1960, there were three billion people living on our planet. Today there are almost eight billion.
The problem about this fact is that we all want jobs, a roof over our heads and a smartphone. Furthermore we ware living longer and are richer than ever before. That also means we buy more and produce more.

Let's summarize: No, capitalism and its markets are not environmentalists.

Solution 2: Buy secondhand/rent clothing!
You can find second-hand shops in all cities around the world. Many websites and apps also offer all kinds of second-hand options. mostly sorted by all different brands and price classes. Renting clothes is a great option, especially for clothes that you will not wear often or for a long time, for example party dresses, outfits for a special day or baby clothes.

Washing our clothes has a very big impact on our environment. The average household does almost 400 loads of laundry every year, consuming about 60,000 liters of water. So you can try to wear your clothes more than once. Because some clothes don’t need to be washed after each use. You can also use green detergent, because conventional detergents can contain chemicals that are harmful to you, your clothes or animals in the oceans.

why does it all consume so much electricity?

The Internet is a network of computers, and they run on electricity. Data is exchanged with the Internet, for example when I write an e-mail or send a picture. This data is not only transmitted, but also stored, e.g. mails are stored on servers, so that you can always access them from everywhere, or if a picture is in the cloud. For these things you need servers. On them are huge amounts of permanent or temporary data stored. This obviously needs electricity, a lot of electricity.

The problem is getting worse because the electricity consumption keeps on climbing every year.

Solutions:

We don't all have to communicate per mail or WhatsApp. Often it is faster and more economical to pick up the phone once and clarify things quickly instead of sending 10 mails back and forth. Also you can write more information in one mail than to distribute it over several mails, so you can save power.

Attachments like pictures, you can send per wetransfer. There you can upload files and get a link that you can share. After a week, the data will be deleted, so the data corpses do not constantly consume power.

Less is more. You don't have to post hearts and smileys all the time. Lunch does not necessarily have to be shared on Instagram, WhatsApp and then on Facebook. 

Also It's important to delete old data that you no longer need.

You can also save electricity if you use search engines 

like ecosia.org or blackle, which are non-profit search engines that plant trees to offset power consumption, and they save power by making their web pages black. This way you also consume less electricity.

According to Cambridge Dictionary, fast fashion refers „clothes that are made and sold cheaply, so that people can buy new clothes often“.

This may sound like a profitable design-, produce- and marketing-method but this technique causes several problems: heavy consumption, poor working conditions, pollution and high CO2 emissions.

The resulting solution is to replace the cement itself in the concrete. And actually there is a possibility to replace 95% of the cement, by using slag sand or flying sand. The problem here is that the cement industry is that big, that we do not have enough of these materials. So there can be a part replaced but not 95%.

So now I'll show a few things you can do as a consumer, because there aren’t enough solutions from the industry. Basically you have 4 opportunities: the use of alternative building material, an efficient building, a minimalistic building and the reuse of old buildings. Overall it is just important that you think about your building and think about: What materials are in it? Do I need an extra wall? Do I need a big house or is something like a tiny house an opportunity for me? Do I need to tear the old building down before I build on it or can I reuse it?

The Problem of capitalistic Companies lies within our political/social System, because the company’s will never go with a more attentive  approach to nature and emissions if our System still requires endless growth for our  industry to work. Therefor, to save our environment from getting destroyed and stop our unsustainable approach to economy we first need to change our political system. This can be done by firstly getting politicians to restrict company’s and secondly voting for (left) political parties planning to revise our System as a whole and renewing it from the ground up, so that our industry can also go with a more sustainable approach and does not need infinite growth, as our current, capitalistic, system does.

Another more climate related problem is the clearance of rainforest in Brasil. About 450.00 square kilometer were burned down just for cattle breeding . One hectare forest can store 6 tons of carbon dioxide which means that 270,000,000 tons of Carbon dioxide can’t be storage anymore just because of cattle breeding. Additionally one cattle produces 300 liter methane each day. The problem is that the methane is 18 times more harmful than carbon dioxide. Methan provides a rising temperature on our planet which leads to a rising see level and more and more droughts.

The main solution is that we can eat less meat, which would solve many problems in the first place, because we could reduce the cultivation of the staple food soy, because in a year up to 4.5 million tons of soy are fed to cattle, and it would also mean that we would need less space.In addition, we can stop the import of continental ships which also have a bad side effect on our climate, because about 80-90% of the feed is imported from South Africa.

Another solution would be to support more the organic farming in your region and buy your meat from there. Because there is homegrown feed fed. This also means that the import of the feed would be omitted which is more environmentally friendly. 

So you see, you can stop climate change with small things even if you don't want to give up meat consumption.

That's because people who don't participate in our market (willingly or unwillingly) have no Livelihood in our economic system.

An example: We have 685 million malnourished People, those people are not part of our free market, because they don't have the opportunity. Those people are starving and cannot raise the energy to work, thus they don't earn money. If one does not earn money, they cannot buy food to live, and so vital things are not available for them.

Inefficiency or monopoly dictatorship

In the capitalist market economy, everyone fights against everyone else. In addition to the need to increase efficiency (in order to be better than the competition), this also leads to a great deal of inefficiency. In many places research is done on the same products and the information is kept as secret as possible. A lot of things that could be regulated more efficiently through cooperation cannot be used. The capitalists also know this: So one buys up the other to build up bigger and bigger companies (and thus to be able to increase the "efficiency"). After a short time, monopoly corporations emerge from this concentration process. There there is less competition but all the much bigger disadvantages of a monopoly dictatorship.

So there are only two unattractive opposites to choose from: Inefficiency through competition or monopoly dictatorship. For the abolition of these opposites in the "free cooperation of free individuals" the overcoming of the system is necessary.

Destruction in order to rebuild and the creation of scarcity

Mr. Biedermann, the owner of a store is annoyed by his son who broke a pane of glass while playing. But the passers-by are of the opinion that this is not so bad, because how else could the glaziers survive, if a pane would never be broken. One should be grateful to the boy, they say, because he has stimulated the economy by doing so.

Bastiat, in his book "What You See and What You Don't See," strives to clear up this mystery. He argues that what is overlooked here is that the person who has to pay for the broken window can no longer spend this money on other things (e.g. a new suit). Thus Basitat thinks to have solved the riddle. Breaking glass is not an economically viable activity.

But what Bastiat fails to tell us, and what even today economic liberals don't necessarily make a big deal about, is this: If broken windows are not necessarily good for the economy, they are not bad either. In one case the glazier makes a business and in the other case the tailor and if the glazier and the tailor both exploit their employees then they also make profit with the thing. In the economic characteristics (gross national product) there is also no difference. Whether the economy of a country deals with repairing many broken windows or whether the people wear better clothes, have better schools and hospitals makes no difference from the point of view of these numbers. Profit can be made with both things. In the one case, the people at least get something out of it, in the other case they do not.

From the point of view of entrepreneurs, of course, the broken windows have an advantage: while the need for new suits is naturally limited, the need for new windows, provided the old ones are only broken quickly enough, can be increased practically at will. War and destruction, as already stated in the Manifesto, are a proven means for capitalism to keep the system running despite overproduction.

It was clear to everyone that the war in Iraq would not necessarily contribute much to peace. But the weapons industry cannot earn money from peace. The destruction of the environment threatens the existence of many people, but it also offers massive potential for new profits. The same is true for the destruction of the environment: Some earn money from the destruction of the environment, others earn money from its consequences [3].

Advertising also falls into this category. If goods are available in sufficient mass, they cannot be sold. So new demand must be created. Artificial dissatisfaction must be created in the form of new needs.

Artificial scarcity (via laws and technical measures - "copy protection") is also created with so-called "intellectual property rights".

In general it can be said: That capitalism, which is said by its supporters to be so "reasonable" in dealing with scarce resources, can earn money only with scarce resources and therefore causes the scarcity of these resources in most cases just in the first place! Capitalism promises to solve problems which we would not have without it in the first place.

an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the 

distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market. 

Capital:

Wealth in the form of money or other assets owned by a person or organisation or available for a purpose such as starting a company or investing.

The means of producing goods and generating capital (e.g. machinery, factories, and other workplaces).
