  • Meeting with eco-village co-founders: Satu & Jarkko Mattila
    24 June 2021, by Eva Wissenz

    Satu and Jarko Mattila are change agents of the Pirkanmaa region. Together with others, they have created an eco-village where about 30 people live permanently.
    When you start something like that, you obviously enter a fascinating journey because everything is going to be questioned. It’s a life time adventure where you’ll have to re-think the food system, the energy consumption, the quality of the buildings, the dirty waters management, the relationships between the co-founders and the (…)

  • Eco-Impact event: Natural lifestyle
    13 June 2021, by Eva Wissenz

    In Finland, the cottage lifestyle is a beautiful connection with simplicity and nature. It may not be that familiar to foreigners so during this evening we will address that. We’ll also have tips to behave more consciously when we are at the mökki and also learn from community living in beautiful Finnish nature.
    Our guest this week is Tânia Carvalho, from Lisbon, Portugal. She’s living a very natural lifestyle in an eco-village nearby Tampere and she has a lot to share about that!

  • Infinited Fiber: mahtava yritys
    1 December 2019, by Eva Wissenz

    Infinited Fibre käy käsiksi vaatteiden kierrätyksen haasteisiin.
    Yrityksen teknologia kykenee ”muuttamaan tekstiilejä, kartonkia ja maanviljelysjätteitä uudeksi, paremmaksi puuvillaksi. Upouusi kuitu voidaan kierrättää äärettömän monta kertaa samalla kun sataprosenttinen laatu säilyy.”

  • Transformation festival at Tehdas 108
    15 October 2021, by Eva Wissenz

    Tehdas 108 it’s almost a decade of art, creativity, peace & love building.
    Sounds beautiful, isn’t? Sounds a little bit 70’s, don’t you think? And why not?
    I mean, we - as human species - have tried destruction, critic, pride, individualism, envy, anger, domination, coldness, robots, explore Mars and back. We see the results.
    Can we try love? Can we engage with art again? And community? Can we try gratitude, altruism, tolerance, generosity?
    That’s what Tehdas 108 experimented for (…)

  • Community Supported Agriculture... what’s that?
    24 September 2019, by Eva Wissenz

    CSA means Community Supported Agriculture. As you know, a farmer’s harvest depends on the weather. Not only but mostly. And it has always been hard for farmers to anticipate the quality of harvest, and the amount of clients.CSA was created to mitigate the risks for farmers.
    I have found here a good definition. It "consists of a community of individuals who pledge support to a farm operation so that the farmland becomes—either legally or spiritually—the community’s farm, with the growers (…)
