Fanny Ben-Ami a Writer Fanny Ben-Ami was Born in Baden-Baden in 1930. When Hitler came to power her Family fled to France. After the occupation of France, she and her little Sisters were sent to the children's home at Château de Chaumont with the help of the OSE. When the OSE decided to smuggle the children into switzerland, Fanny was the one who took the lead and got the children safely across the border. She and her Sisters, but their parents were murdred. After the war, Fanny imigrated to Israel, got married and has two children and six grandchildren. I think she's impressive because she help children. With 13 years she was responsible for her two Sisters and other children. They had a thousand obstacles and had to cross many paths. The path was very dangerous for such young children. You are never too young to help others.

Explication of&nbsp;SDG 11, Sustainable cities&nbsp; With this target&nbsp;we&nbsp;aim at&nbsp;making&nbsp;“cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable” since cities are&nbsp;centers of ideas and&nbsp;productivity crucial to&nbsp;social, human and economic development. &nbsp;Why is our SDG important? Because it makes us focus on the quality and sustainability of the life in cities, towns, villages and any human settlement under many aspects: urban planning, transport, water, sanitation, waste management, disaster risk reduction, access to information, education. Something about a specific target A specific target we worked on is: 11.6 “Reduce the environmental impact of cities: By 2030, reduce the adverse per capita environmental impact of cities, including by paying special attention to air quality and municipal and other waste management”&nbsp; At a local level, we addressed this specific target by taking care of the little greenery located in the hall of our school since green areas improve the air quality

“CALL TO ACHIEVE A TOBACCO-FREE ENVIRONMENT AND THE FIRST EUROPEAN TOBACCO-FREE GENERATION BY 2030” &nbsp;&nbsp; FIRST EUROPEAN TOBACCO FREE GENERATION The initiative I have chosen is an anti-smoking initiative that wants to protect the new generation from tobacco smokers. They also want to prevent more environmental hazards from being caused by cigarette butts.They ensure the promotion of the first tobacco tax to European generations until 2028. They create a European net of tobacco-free beaches and rivers to make them healthier and more ecologically sustainable.Tobacco-free national parks should make them healthier and reduce the risk of fire. They would also like to expand the freedom of smoke and steam in parks, swimming pools, sports events, shows and restaurants and on public terraces.

Green Garden Roof Tops In most cases, bare roof areas of many department stores and warehouses in Europe are not used for any specific purpose. Plastic, stones and therefore also building materials from which the roofs were made can be found on such roof surfaces. Thus, these areas are absolutely not good for the environment, but also damage it. In order to change this and do something good for the environment, the plan behind this campagne is that exactly these roof areas are used positively without harming the environment even more and roof areas of various large companies are expanded into garden areas.In this way the unutilized roofs, could be transformed in means able of improving and aiding the environment crisis.

That's easy to answer. If you really want to do something to make it happen, here are some options for you: First and foremost is your food shopping. You should really only buy as much as you consume to avoid unnecessary food waste. Just as important as this is that you pay attention to how you move around. That means, if it is not necessary, to move with your car, you can use alternatively also the bus, train or subway and for short distances, not even use it and take your bike or walk. It is also important that you pay attention to your light consumption and do not leave the light on in room where nobody is in it. So you are not only doing what is good for the environment, you are also saving some of your money. You can also use alternatives for environmentally harmful things, such as paper or cloth bags instead of plastic bags.

What measures can you implement with SDG11 to live in a sustainable city?

You could also pay attention to your digital footprint, which can help you to keep an eye on your consuption in order to live more sustainably. And it is so easy to do some good for your conscience and for the environment so if you feel like it, you are welcome to take part.

Ideas to bring sustainability in our city

Actionbound Rally Our idea is to make a rally with the help of an app which is called actionbound. We want to show people certain places in the city that are interesting. We want to show sustainable places of Marl. Some places are the forest and we can invite visitors to do forest bathing. Then there are places which are called „eh da“ places. They are areas where is just grass and flowers or maybe bee-/Insect-hotels. The City hall and the „city lake“ are also interest places we would show. The “Volkspark” is a place with trees, plants and a small lake where you can go for a little walk or just relax in the nature. In Marl we got Mans gardens which are called „allotment gardens“. Then are gardens to rent but you have to plant vegetables, fruits or other plants to be more sustainable.

bicycle day My idea is to organise a bicycle day on which everyone who has the opportunity to ride a bike instead of a car, bus or train. Once a month the day would take place and for everyone who participates there is a sustainability sticker that you can collect and with a certain amount of stickers you get a price which should increase the participation in the project.

Ehda-areas My idea to live in a sustainable city is that we invite someone who is responsible for sustainable organizations in marl. I think we can deal with unused areas. These areas call „ehda - Flächen" and that are areas that are there anyway so you can do something good for the environment by planting flowers for the bees there, for example. That is simple to do and it is cheap so is costs you not much and you help the nature and do something good for your conscience. The problem is that there aren't any areas in marl. Now we want to ask if we could also grow some of these in marl.

and it would not hurt marl anyway even quite the opposite. What measures can you implement with SDG 11 to live in a sustainable city? It's easy to answer. If you really want to do something to make that happen, here are a few options for you: First, it's about your grocery shopping. You really should only buy the amount you use to avoid unnecessary food waste. Equally important is paying attention to how you move. This means that if you don't have to drive, you can choose the bus, train or metro and cycle or walk for short journeys. It's also important that you watch your light usage and don't leave lights on in a room where nobody is. Not only do you do something good for the environment, but you also save money. You can also use alternatives for disposing of polluting items, such as paper or cloth bags instead of plastic bags. You can also keep an eye on your digital footprint, which can help you monitor your consumption to live more sustainably. It's so easy to do something good for your conscience and the environment. Interested parties are cordially invited to participate.

Idea for an own European Citizens' Initiative: Shorten Supermarket openings&nbsp; Supermarkets shouldn’t be open that long, it would be better because there would be less energy waste because of the lamps. Also there would be less people in the city the whole day and it would be quieter for people who life near the supermarket. People wouldn’t drive so long around because of the shorter openings and the workers had more time especially if they have a family.

Hook and problem First, I would like to briefly summarise the issue in an few sentences. Sustainable cities would make a sustainable future. They want to make cities sustainable. But the Problem is the inequality and the levels of urban energy consumption and pollution. These issues will eventually affect every citizen. The question now is how we can influence sustainable cities. Solution The answer to this question is not easy to answer, but the conditions create in our community, the greater the impact on the quality of life. You can take an active interest in the governance and management of your city. You can also advocate for the kind of city you believe you need and you can develop a vision for your building, street, and neighbourhood, and act on that vision.

Our own ideas for a European Citizens' Initiative

chewing gum as deposit If you chew gum and you don't want to chew it anymore, a lot of people would probably just spit it on the floor. However, these people do not think about the environment that they are polluting and damaging. To prevent this, you could put something similar to a deposit machine for chewing gum on the streets. The purpose of this is that you won't see so many or even no chewing gum on the streets anymore, so that the city simply looks nicer and the environment is not harmed. It's supposed to be that there are vending machines on the street that have a small scale to weigh the chewing gum, because everyone likes to chew chewing gum of different sizes. Depending on the size of the chewing gum you chew, you get a deposit slip, as you know it from normal deposit machines in the supermarket. With these slips of paper you will be able to buy something in the shop. In principle, it is the same as a normal deposit bottle machine.

Sustainable Cities The Goal of the SDG is to make Cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. Even bfore COVID -19, 4 billion people - more that half of the world´s population- lived in the United States due to rapid urbanization. The world´s cities face rising air pollution, inadequate infrastructure and services, and unplanned urban sprawl. Examples of succsessful COVID-19 containment show remarkable resilience and adaptability Urban communities are adapting to new norms. Inequality and the levels of urban energy consumption and pollution are some of the challenges. These iusses will eventually affect every citizen.&nbsp; By choosing to act sustainably, we choose to build Cities where all citizens enjoy a decent quality of life. The productive dynamism of Cities that creates shared prosperity and social stability without harming the environment.&nbsp; It´s not expensive to put sustainable Cities in a practise place, so the cost is minimal in comparison with the benefits.&nbsp; I can achieve this goal by taking an active interest in the governance of the management of your City

Here some questions for this goal: Are there enough jobs? Can your Children walk alone safely? Can you walk with your Family at night? The better conditions you create in your community, the greater the impact on the quality of life.

Photo story Speaking up for the environment

Refill Germany The concept of Refill Germany is very simple and stores that have a refill sticker on a window or door fill tap water free of charge into each own brought drinking vessel. Refill Germany was founded by Stephanie Wiermann on 24 March 2017 in Hamburg and it was created by zero waste movements. In the meantime, Refill Germany has become a worldwide movement. Many volunteers actively help in their spare time to put an end to the plastic madness. They are also independent of companies and parties. They want to draw attention to plastic waste and pollution of the environment. The following points are very important to the members of Refill Germany: environmental protection, waste prevention (plastic waste) and tap water in drinking water. For this reason, there is free tap water in all places where a refill sticker on the door. Refill Germany even has a motto "Have your drinking bottle with you! Protect our environment! Drink enough water! Live healthy! Save money!"

They want to inspire people to live more plastic-free lives by avoiding plastic waste, drinking good water and thus protecting the environment. They also reject unnecessary printed matter and advertising material for these reasons: The maps and city plans change much too quickly at refill because there are always new refill stations and drinking fountains. Unnecessarily many resources are needed to produce flyers, posters and printed materials that usually end up in the garbage and merchandise products such as printed T-shirts, bottles, or cloth bags are also rejected, because everyone should be able to participate without any other equipment. Refill is a social movement and everyone should be able to participate easily. In addition, refill stations are committed to treating ALL people equally. Everyone can participate at any time, but you always have to have your own drinking vessel with you. You can also advertise for refill stations by getting a refill sticker, you can easily download and print it or buy it. Even as a store owner, you can become a refill station yourself. Refill is even a very good option for marl, because in marl there is also a lot of plastic waste everywhere
