North Rhine-Westphalia: Ruhr area should prepare for the energy crisis

Essen (dpa / lnw) - Under the slogan "

"Everyone can make their contribution to getting through the crisis better," said Bochum's Mayor Thomas Eiskirch (SPD) on Monday in Essen. For example, everyone can help to use as little gas and electricity as possible. Essen's Lord Mayor Thomas Kufen (CDU) said: "Every kilowatt hour of gas or electricity saved will get us through this winter better."

All 53 municipalities of the Ruhr Regional Association are taking part in the campaign. A flyer translated into eleven languages, for example, advises building up a supply of groceries bit by bit and not "everything at once". It is recommended to stock up on 20 liters of drinks per person, which should last for ten days. You can cook outdoors with a camping stove with a gas cartridge.
