Do-it-yourself-afternoon: Take action and protect the climate!
The DIY-afternoon with several groups will be held on the city campus in house no. 4, room 101. The event will take place outdoors when the weather is fine!
What | Who | Description |
Check your bike | Take two old bikes and create a new one! If you think that your bike is beyond remedy then this is where we come in. The tutors of the bike workshop can help you to repair damages on your bike with material from old ones. Donations are welcome and appreciated. That way all students that are short of money are able to visit our workshop, too. | |
Wood E-Bike | The study group led by Prof. Pfriem and the innovative Berlin-based company System 180 GmbH aimed at reducing the carbon foot-print of a bike drastically by replacing all normally used metal with the organic material wood whenever possible. Learn about the project and take a test ride on the Wood-Bike! | |
Discover cargo bikes | Cargo bikes make an important contribution to sustainable mobility in urban spaces. Learn about cargo bikes and take a test ride with different types. Use the afternoon to share your experiences about do-it-yourself constructions of cargo bikes! | |
Supermarket without product packaging | Forschungsprojekt der HNEE | Most people are annoyed with the amount of waste that one produces unintentionally every week by shopping and that grows to a huge pile of rubbish over the year. |
Climate protection by protecting resources | Projektwerkstatt "Terra Preta und Permakultur" der HNEE | The student project workshop of the Eberswalde university provides an update on the projects âedible mushroomsâ, âfilter systems for rainwaterâ, âsite caravanâ, âplant guildâ and the âbokashi-networkâ. |
Repair CafĂ© | You own a toaster or other electric devices that donât work properly? | |
SMERGY | How SMERGY are you? | |
Soap, deo, laundry detergent: Do it yourself instead of buying it! | Climate and environmental protection starts at home! The more things you do yourself, the less you pollute the environment with energy-intensive packaging and chemicals. In this workshop weâll produce deodorant, soap and toothpaste with on-hand ingredients. | |
Official opening of the campus donation box | For quite some time now students swap or give away their used but still suitable clothes, books, etc. Not only resources and money are saved but it is also a fun thing to do! Throughout the climate protection week in 2015 there already has been a campus donation box (Verschenkeschrank) at the Eberswalde university. And now it finally happened: A permanent campus donation box has been installed on the city campus! 4 p.m., between house no. 4 and no. 5. | |
Flee market: Swap or give away your stuff! | Too good for the trash bin? Things that are a waste of space for one person can be a sought-after item for others. A long-term use of products conserves resources and is more climate-friendly than the purchase of new ones. Bring along the stuff that youâd like to give away or swap. |
