+<WRAP box TIP> The future depends on what we do today. Do we need more lignite? There are alternatives!\\
+With #passive house & #EnerPHit we can quickly get out of the fossil dependency.\\
+[[:certification:enerphit|]]\\
+[[:examples|]]\\
+</WRAP>
+Many people around the world are affected by global challenges, often driven by competition and dependence on fossil energy resources. We set up [[:efficiency_now|a special section on these pages]] where appropriate substantiated information will be provided about how fossil fuel dependency can be reduced also at short notice. Besides sufficiency measures (yes, these can also help), this will relate above all to easily implementable efficiency measures which enable quite noticeable reductions with reference to safety, health, avoiding harm, saving costs and at the same time reducing CO2 emissions. Energy efficiency (that is the reduction of energy losses) is a decisive contribution to peace with nature - and thus a contribution to peace among humans.
