Responsibilities

My life goal is to bring individual, business and planetary health to the heart of the people. At age 16, I began engagement with the energy transition, focused on reducing health damage through cleaner air and reduced use of harmful chemicals. I feel I have a greater impact with groups, for example through leadership training how to cope with workers with alcohol problems. For 10 years I taught post-graduate architects in "Solar architecture" in "healthy buliding". I also wrote a lot of expert articles, mainly in medical journal for doctors and patients but also in Austrian newspapers. I also participated in many interviews related to car and lorry emmissions and noise, but also related to climate change.

Additionally, my house, an old (1908) tenement with 10 flats, was transformed over 25 years inoto an ecological and social "Haus of Commons", with shared garden, workshop, kitchen and sporting equipment and cars (1 hybrid, 1 EV). I am a cyclist and want to influence others through my health-focused engagement.
