  • Tampere, kaupunki matkalla kohti ympäristöstävällisyyttä
    1 December 2019, by Eva Wissenz

    On totta, että elinolosuhteet Tampereella ovat upeat. Meillä on puhdasta ilmaa, raikasta vettä, ja metsät ovat lähellä. Siitä huolimatta on tehtävä vielä paljon, jotta Tampere olisi kestävän kehityksen kaupunki, jossa hyödynnetään resurssien jakamista, kiertotaloutta, kaupunkipuutarhoja, lähiruokapiirejä sekä keskuksia, joissa jaetaan ekologisia taitoja, kaupunki jossa on tarjolla edullista terveellistä ruokaa, jossa vähennetään jätteiden tuottoa, ja niin edelleen.
    Tällä hetkellä muutoksen (…)

  • 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 (…)

  • We are closing doors but we aren’t closing down.
    17 March 2020, by Eva Wissenz

    Friends,
    We are asked to stay home, keep our distance and be cautious.
    In Finland, the people and the government are very reasonable, decades of crazy capitalism haven’t washed away their concern about the common good and the way they care. I’ve learned from my 8 years in Finland, that although Finns could seem a bit cold at times, they do care. From this country, from this space of safety in a tense and uncertain global context, I send all my best energy and courage to you my friends. (…)

  • Kohti ekologisempaa joulua!
    7 December 2020, by Eva Wissenz

    Vinkkejä Amanda Pokkilta (Sustainability and impact club)
    Minulle joulu on monen eri asian yhdistelmä; se koostuu perheeni kanssa vietetystä ajasta, joulumusiikista, piparkakkujen leipomisesta, joulukuusen koristelusta, joka jouluklassikoksi kutsumani ”Home Alone” elokuvan katsomisesta kuuman glögin kera. Mutta viime vuosien aikana, kun olen alkanut miettimään enemmän joulun ympäristövaikutuksesta, olen myös huomannut, että siitä on tullut suurta kuluttamisen aikaa. Miksi joulusta on (…)

  • Luontoystävällistä mökkeilyä
    13 June 2021, by Eva Wissenz

    Vinkkejä Amanda Pokkilta... (Sustainability and impact club)
    Suomi on yli puolen miljoonan mökin maa. Mökit sijaitsevat usein vesistöjen äärellä, ja mitä pienempi vesistö, sitä herkempi se on, ja sitä paremmin on pidettävä huolta jätevesistä. Perheeni mökki, kuten monet muutkin, on hyvin askeettinen; saamme sähkön aurinkopaneeleista, juomaveden kaivosta, ja vesikäymälän sijaan käytämme kuivakäymälää. On helppo ajatella, että tällainen askeettinen elämä on hyvin ekologinen tapa viettää (…)

  • Beauty and well-being
    12 September 2019, by Eva Wissenz

    In a few years, organic products have become more mainstream and can be found in many places like Sokos, Stockman, Prisma... Make sure to check well the compositions of the products and remember that "natural" doesn’t necessarily means "organic".
    All these cosmetics are imported from France, Sweden, Latvia, Germany... As far as I know, only Frantsila is offering organic cosmetics made in Finland in their Hämeenkyrö’s farms.
    Downtown Tampere, Ruohonjuuri is the place to get proper advises (…)
