About K.R.A.K.E. e.V.
Since 2015, K.R.A.K.E. has been active as an organization organizing waste collection actions. The official association status was achieved in 2020. However, it all began for founder Christian Stock in 2014 in Nepal when he had to face the devastating realities of improper waste disposal. The understanding of and attitude towards waste there is quite different from ours in Germany. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of education on this issue even here. Few people are aware that every day, 1 ton of waste flows into the sea with the Rhine. Many are not aware that the German government ships tons of waste to Asia for disposal, which is then declared as recycling. Also, most of us are not aware of the dramatic impact of using firefighting foam and confetti on nature. The philosophy of K.R.A.K.E. e.V. focuses on this lack of awareness:
​
"We want to lead by example and approach people kindly. We are aware that most misconduct is not out of malice but simply out of ignorance or indifference. Therefore, we want to raise awareness among our neighbors without pointing fingers."
​
What K.R.A.K.E. e.V. specifically does:
-
Organizing regular clean-up days in and around Cologne
-
Installation of the first litter trap for flowing waters in Germany (Müllfalle Köln)
-
Research projects on waste with the University of Bonn
-
Educational work in schools
-
Awareness-raising on waste at their own and external events
-
Operating a museum about waste (Müllseum)
​
For us, K.R.A.K.E. e.V. is an iconic dance outside the box, and therefore, it is a matter of the heart for us to support this association.
