reception
Peter Unfried describes a phase of his life in his book "Eco. Al Gore, the new refrigerator and me". There he developed the concept of an individual "climate culture" and "lifestyle responsibility", from which social and political dynamics should arise in order to cope with the energy transition and climate change. In 2008, the star wrote "Peter and Martin Unfried: The rock'n'rollers of climate protection. In order to arouse customer feelings, car companies build magnificent buildings like the BMW-Welt in Munich. There should also be something like that for eco products, believe the Unfried brothers. They are pioneers of a new energy consciousness that relies on a changed logic of consumption. "
According to the FAZ, his "course book for concrete ecological rethinking" with actress Christiane Paul contains "groundbreaking texts on a change in perception". With Christiane Paul he also recorded the video clip series "Hirnifracht" for the sustainability portal "futur" by the social psychologist Harald Welzer.
In his book "Authority is when the children are through" (2012) he deals with the question of how a coexistence between parents and children planned as "contemporary modern" actually works and whether the madness of such a family life is perhaps even worth striving for is.
In an interview with Alexander Wallasch for Prager Frühling in August 2008, Unfried said about the readership of the TAZ : "Our reader analyzes actually show something very interesting. That the proportion of Left Party voters among our readers has risen sharply. The profits are at the expense of the Greens Since the majority of our readers live in the West, there is obviously a voter hike there. " He sees the future of the newspaper as follows: "The taz must always be present and strong where something new is happening. And that is clearly the left in party politics. I have to note that our reporting on the Left Party is sporadic, but for that I think the criticism is only partially justified. We want to accompany the development journalistically: neither with euphoria nor with malice, but with curiosity, open-ended and without prejudice. "
