Talk at he container:
As part of UNFASSBAR, two public debates were held in Cologne. Dr. Lothar Kittstein (author and dramaturge) and his guest speakers Dr. Amrei Bahr (philosopher, Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf) and Lone Briesemeister (Students for Future, Cologne) talked about philosophical, environmental and socio-political aspects of the topic of intangibility. Both talks were followed by a discussion with the audience.

Dr. Amrei Bahr is a research assistant at the Institute of Philosophy at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf since 2017. Previously, she studied philosophy and Protestant religious education in Münster and Vienna, and completed her PhD in philosophy. In her habilitation project, she explores the question of what we are allowed to do when we want to get rid of things: From an ethical perspective, is recycling really the best way to dispose of waste?
