Climate activists cause a stir: frigate painted during Kiel Woche!

This day, June 22, 2025, a staged protest from the climate activists in Kiel causes a stir. As SPIEGEL reported, a frigate of the marine was painted during the Kiel week with environmentally friendly color. Activists thus emphasize the responsibility of the naval for climate protection and set an example against global pollution.

In front of the public's eyes, the activists wrote on the fuselage of the ship "protects the climate". This campaign at home in northern Germany shows how serious it is the environmentalists who also want to spread their message as part of the festivities at the Kiel Week. The presentation of the navy as the advocate of the climate is considered hypocritical by the activists, since the Bundeswehr is criticized for their participation in environmental damage and resource consumption.

protection of the climate in the digital age

at a time when the digital streaming of audio and video content has a significant influence on our everyday life, the discrepancy between technological joys and ecological consequences is becoming increasingly clear. According to The Techy Life , streaming is an indispensable component of entertainment and education. It enables access to content in real time without having to download entire files.

But as practical as the stream is, it also has an impact on our environment. The Federal Environment Agency recently presented the "Green Cloud Computing" method, which serves to capture the ecological effects of cloud services more precisely. This also includes data-intensive applications such as video streaming and online data storage, in which the CO2 footprint cannot be neglected. For example, a one-hour video conference causes emissions with a laptop that are comparable to a car ride of 260 meters, as the information from Environmental Federal Agency

call for action

The activists in Kiel not only ask the navy, but also all citizens to work more intensively for environmental goals. While we spend more time in virtual rooms, we have to become aware of ecological responsibility that is connected to the technologies that we use every day. The use of streaming technology is only part of the problem here, but he obliges us to also look for innovative solutions.

In an increasingly networked and technological environment, it remains important to keep an eye on both the entertainment and the consequences of our actions. The current action of the climate activists will certainly not be the last outcry in the debate about climate protection and the digital revolution.
