The citizens' initiative (BI) has submitted an application that calls on the municipality to develop a concept and implement climate neutrality.


The citizens' initiative (BI) has submitted an application that calls on the municipality to develop a concept and implement climate neutrality.

Althegnenberg - The aim is to sound out what has been achieved so far in terms of climate protection in the community and what potential the community still has in terms of renewable energies, CO2 reduction and biodiversity.

This is where the environmental officer should come into play.

Andreas Birzele (Greens), environmental officer in Althegnenberg, welcomed the application, but criticized the fact that only a half-day position for the climate protection officer and not a full-time position was recently created in the administrative community.

“You can't do that on a voluntary basis.

This is very time-consuming and requires a competent person, especially when it comes to determining the funding, ”continues Birzele.

With half-knowledge one could not bring something like that on a well-founded basis.

He also complained to Mayor Rainer Spicker (BI) that he had also voted against the full-time position of the VG's climate protection officer.

“I don't understand your change of heart and I actually see you as the mayor with the main responsibility,” said Birzele.

Leo Oswald (BI) said that the work for this should not be left to a single person.

“The proposal is to be understood as food for thought for all of us in the committee.

We have to tackle the whole thing together. ”Marianne Dunkel (SPD) thought the proposal was good and wanted it to be understood as a“ model for the local council ”.

As an environmental consultant, Andreas Birzele is not a member of the building and environmental committee, but could then also be entitled to vote in the advisory body, as Spicker explained.

“We want to take that as food for thought.

This is not a topic that is dealt with in one session, ”said the town hall chief.

In the end, everyone voted for it.

The building and environment committee should think about the implementation in a small group.
