The Welser SPÖ calls for a photovoltaic offensive. Large parking lots are to be equipped with photovoltaic systems. “It’s explicitly about persuasion and professional advice for the owners or operators of the parking lots,” says councilor Johann Reindl-Schwaighofer. It is also important to ensure short official procedures and to offer active support in the processing of funding.
The Greens want to make the municipal authorities more responsible for environmental and climate protection. Internal and external events are to be organized as “Green Events” in the future. “This means greater consideration of regional and environmentally friendly products, no disposable tableware, shopping in climate alliance companies or rewards for environmentally friendly journeys,” says Green party spokeswoman Miriam Faber.
Gifts made in Wels
In addition, gift items from the city of Wels should become “greener”, demands municipal councilor Alessandro Schatzmann. “We have cloth bags from India, soap bubbles from Spain and a whole shopping basket from China. Production companies from the region often ignore the orders.”
