• EkoLive: Betoniviidakot metsien maassa – kestävä kaupunki rakentuu puusta
  7 October 2021, by Eva Wissenz

  Metsä on aina ollut suomalaisten sielunmaisema ja ennen meille olikin itsestään selvää, että rakensimme myös kotimme puusta. Jossain vaiheessa kuitenkin totesimme, että parempiakin rakennusmateriaaleja löytyy. Vai löytyykö sittenkään?
  Puu on materiaalina kestävää, monellakin eri merkityksellä. Tampereella puurakentaminen halutaankin jälleen nostaa aidoksi vaihtoehdoksi. Mutta miten? Siihen haemme vastauksia lokakuun EkoLivessä tiistaina 12.10. G Livelabissa ja etäyhteyksien äärellä. Yleisö (…)

  6 November 2021, by Eva Wissenz

  That’s not an easy topic, I know but hey, the reality of climate change is going to have a direct impact on all of us. It means that after decades, if not centuries, if living our lives thinking we had "only" to solve domestic problems relatively easy to understand, we urgently need to all contribute to the resolution of a super-complex problem as much as we can in a short time compared to centuries of slow evolution.
  Imagine you’re 14. And maybe you are. How do you project yourself in (…)

• Eco-Impact event: the Doughnut economics model
  17 November 2021, by Eva Wissenz

  One of the most difficult things to grasp with climate change’s complexity has been to make people perceive how limited the planetary resources are. Especially in wealthy countries where we are still very protected from climate change side effects already ongoing elsewhere, right?
  The entire so called "Industrial Revolution" based on fossil fuels exploitation created a growth that is clearly not infinite. As a consequence, one of the first parameter to re-think from scratch is economy and (…)
