    21 October 2021, by Eva Wissenz

    Tampereen sydämessä sijaitseva Seele tarjoaa valikoiman suomalaisia ​​eettisesti valmistettuja vaatteita lähiseudulta. Vaatteet voivat tuntua kalliimmilta kukkarollesi, mutta ne myös kestävät pidempään käytössä.

  • How to be more sustainable in Tampere?
    6 November 2021, by Eva Wissenz

    Tampere has been for a long time an industrial city and there is a lot to do to make the urban community more sustainable in a short period of time. The actions have been so far very focused on carbon neutrality.
    I warmly invite you to explore and connect with Tampere City’s initiatives related to sustainability.
    First of all, the Carbon Neutral Tampere 2030 -roadmap voted in August 2020 is a must read. You’ll understand clearly the complexity of the problem of carbon emissions here and (…)

  • Sustainable Fashion Shops
    16 September 2019, by Eva Wissenz

    In the heart of Tampere Seele is offering a beautiful selection of Finnish organic clothing, as locally produced as possible. It can be expensive but it definitely last longer.
    For lovers of Finnish design, Miela (picture) is a shop hosting about 20-30 local brands, some of them being 100% organic. It’s all about clothing but also beautiful notebooks, jewels and accessories.
    Second hand clothes are nice and sustainable. Second-hand is very popular in Finland and all the shops are (…)

  • Sustainable Christmas gifts: please re-use
    13 November 2019, by Eva Wissenz

    One of the best thing in Finland are the second hand shops. Name it Fida, Red Cross or small "kirppis" shops in town. These shops are nice and just like any other. Take your time, explore everything and you will for sure find treasures there for your next Christmas gifts!!
    A few events are also interesting if you’d like to buy brand new items made by local creators. The Finnish Handicrafts 2019 Fair is a massive event, very connected to the Finn’s passion for handicraft!! And that’s indeed (…)

  • Eco smile
    11 April 2020, by Eva Wissenz

    As we know, small daily actions have an impact as well. Have you ever thought about your toothbrush? Did you know that "Back in the 1960s, the (Finnish) family would go to the sauna once a week and brush their teeth with the same brush"?
    Just before the isolation, one of the Sustainability and Impact Club student was releasing her challenge on that topic. With a provocative and artistic approach, she’s sharing very interesting info about that little thing we all have in our bathrooms! (…)

  • Nice tips from Visit Tampere’s team
    9 September 2019, by Eva Wissenz

    Tampere is known as a city of hard work and very social past (social in the sense of cooperative and orientated towards the well-being of all). It’s also a city where lots of Finns would love to live because it’s not too big, not too small, quiet, exciting and surrounded by nature.
    I’d love Tampere to be know as a real sustainable city I must say... :-) Cool things are happening at the moment elsewhere in Finland and we could take inspiration.
    For now, Visit Tampere’s team is suggesting (…)
