Example has enormous power, as does sharing different ideas. That’s why we decided within our project to challenge you to tell us what your sustainability promise is! With the challenge, we want to encourage managers, developers, teachers, students, as well as various stakeholders to write their own act of sustainable development and responsibility. The more we say and talk about […]

Springtime = balcony time – how my balcony helps the bees and the environment
Bee hotel, done by AnneMarie Ohnoutka, 2024 As I do every spring, I’m going to “winterise” my balcony. I remove the brown, annual plants in the flowerpots from the previous year and replace them with fresh, flowering ones. When buying plants, I make sure that the flowers are suitable as food for bees. As pollinators, they ensure the propagation and […]
Easter, the bunny and chocolate

Every year, children look forward to searching for the colourful eggs hidden by the Easter Bunny. Along with […]
Learn-Reflect-Act
What I take with me from EARTH HOUR 2024: HandPrint Approach vs. Footprint Concept I think action days like Earth Hour are valuable opportunities to learn about environmental issues, reflect on our own actions and discuss them together. In this way we can raise awareness of the need to protect our environment. I am pleased to know that environmental organisations […]
EARTH HOUR – One hour for the climate and the planet
This year I’m joining in and turning off the lights from 20:30 – 21:30. This hour is a statement for the earth and climate protection. This is important to me and an hour spend with the family and good conversation is a small action that makes us feel good and is visible. I registered with WWF Germany’s Hour Bank and […]

In the justification for this International Day, the UN emphasises the importance of sustainable development for individual and collective happiness. In a world that is constantly changing, characterised by uncertainty and complex […]
A life almost without waste?
A great thought, because last Friday it was that time again: weekend grocery shopping. Admittedly, this is always a question of time and so the route usually leads to the supermarket round the corner. The shopping trolley is quickly filled and then it’s time to unpack and store at home. These are always the moments when I start thinking about […]
Let´s go to the flea market!

Here in Kannus, natural resources students get to know sustainable development shops and flea markets in these classes! At the beginning of the visits, the flea market owners present their operations and the principles by which their company operates. At the KannusKulma flea market, customers can […]
Christmas time at last!
Follow our Advent Calendar Christmas time. For some it is the best time of the year. It’s a time full of lights, scents and flavours, thoughts about pleasant little gifts and time together. But the countdown to Christmas is supposed to be also a time of calm and reflection. We, the G2VET team, love both sides of the Christmas season. […]
