  • 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.”
    Yrityksen uusi tehdas on rakenteilla Valkeakoskelle. Ensimmäisten muotimerkkien on tarkoitus julkaista Infinite Fiberiin perustuvat kapselimallistonsa vuonna 2020.
    On mielenkiintoista kuulla, miksi (…)

  • 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 (…)

  • Local and ecological actions: are you joining?
    9 November 2019, by Eva Wissenz

    The Kurki eco-village is opening its association to new members. Would you like to join and co-create inspiring activities with the resources of the place?
    So far, the village has organized volunteering projects with Erasmus and a summer café but they would like to do more workshops and local actions so new people, new ideas and new skills are needed to co-create that together!! The village exists since a long time and has a long experience of community building.
    No need to live in the (…)

  • Tohinapäivä Lempällässa (Ilmastosoturit)
    6 October 2021, by Eva Wissenz

    "Ilmastosotureilla oli keskiviikkona 6.10. varsinainen #tohinapäivä! Emme osallistuneet koulun normiarkeen vaan keskityimme edesauttamaan niitä lukuisia Soturiprojekteja, joita on tämän lukukauden aikana kertynyt “rästiin” ja paljon saimmekin aikaan! Töitä tehtiin urakalla ja hyvällä fiiliksellä ja tekemisen ilo oli silminnähtävää.
    Päivään osallistui lähes neljäkymmentä Soturia. Ryhmä oli jaettu tehtävärasteille, erilaisia rasteja oli neljä: #Vaikuttaminen #Soturitaide #Kouluvierailut ja (…)

  • Kurki: why eco-villages are so important
    14 September 2019, by Eva Wissenz

    We are lucky in Tampere, we have a beautiful eco-village only 45min drive accessible to learn tons of things. And for those who want to travel without polluting, the bus 55 is taking you there. I’ve been there with family and friends a couple of times.
    The place is called Kurki and it’s located in Vesilahti, by the lake Pyhäjärvi. It’ s a community ecovillage and a biodynamic farm (which mean organic basically but I’ll explain the differences later if I have time...).
    In 2011, after (…)

  • Infinited Fiber: an amazing company
    10 September 2019, by Eva Wissenz

    Infinited Fiber is tackling the recycling clothes challenge.
    The technology can "turn textile, cardboard and agricultural waste into new and better cotton. The brand-new fiber can be circulated infinite times while preserving 100 % quality".
    Their new plant in Valkeakoski is now building up. They are expecting the first fashion brands to launch their Infinited Fiber based capsule collections in 2020!
    It’s interesting to understand why they chose Valkeakoski: "The key benefits of the (…)
