Stay With Me

We are sooo excited that a new episode of young, wild & green🎧 is out now and even more excited about the fact that we could speak to a well-known activist, .marx ! Climate Activism has many faces, and this episode´s guest knows (almost) all of them. .marx is a political scientist, journalist and social media activist fighting for intersectional environmentalism, feminism and anti-racism. Since the pandemic radically affected the way movements had to organize themselves, we are discussing the role of social media to fight for a more just and sustainable society. We then explore how climate change is a symptom of a larger systemic crisis of class struggles, racism and inequality. Berfin uses the tool of intersectionality to explain how the ecological and social crises are fundamentally linked to each other. 🌞

New Episode is online!

Consumption is one of the, possibly even the most important, key driver for climate change. While the corona crisis clearly affects sustainability areas such as traveling, consumption patterns are somehow out of focus. Or did the crisis change the way we can consume? Green Consumerism is supposed to be one means for individuals to "do their share" for solving climate change. Yet, can Green Consumerism address systemic problems? We are joined by social entrepreneur and sustainability geek Veena Balakrishnan, originally from India, to talk about Zero Waste Weddings, Green Consumerism and her presence at COP26, the global climate conference that took place in Glasgow last year. Veena advocates that reducing consumption can bring joy and autonomy, and will share what politicians miss out in the debate about climate and overconsumption. Veena studies Sustainable Resource Management at TU Munich, and has organized the first Indian Zero Waste wedding (whose after-movie has been viewed by over 18 million people!) out of which she created the company Everwards India, a consultancy focusing on sustainable innovation for large-scale events.

Moderation: Henriette Reinhardt & Julian Willming

After some quiet weeks we are finally back with our 5th episode of our podcast young, wild & green! You can find the link in our bio.🔥

In this episode we are joined by Third Wave Co-Founder and Critical Futurist Johannes Kleske to discuss the rich worlds of futures. 🔮We are discussing why futures actually start in the present and how the choices we’re making every day can influence possible, and yet unknown, futures. We will link sustainability to the tools of scenario planning and backcasting. According to Johannes, the climate movement needs collaborative, participatory and multi-scale action - and perhaps a Ministry of the Future.💚💚💚

Wusstest du schon, dass die Klimakrise auch eine Menschenrechtskrise ist?🔎

Im neuen Blogbeitrag klärt unser Teammitglied darüber auf und appelliert an die zukünftige Bundesregierung📢 strengere Klimaziele zu formulieren, um die Menschenrechte zu achten. 🌍🌿

… und woher kommen alle Zutaten? Die Verpackung der Riegel besteht aus Papier, Biofarben und Bio Zellulose. Dazu kommt, dass für jedes gekaufte Produkt ein Baum gepflanzt wird!

Damit werden vier der Sustainable Development Goals beigetragen:
Good Health and Well-Being
Decent work and economic growth
Responsible consumption and production
Climate Action

Wir finden das toll und einen einfachen Ansatz auf einen positiveren individuellen Konsum zu achten. Wir sollten nicht nach etwas suchen, was hierbei noch nicht perfekt scheint, sondern die positiven Aspekte solcher Initiativen loben! Es ist ein ständiger Prozess, der weiter geführt wird. Aber warum nicht schon Mal damit anfangen bevor man ewig wartet?!

Mit der Idee aus Abfällen etwas neues zu schaffen, entwickeln sie seit 2016 die weltweit ersten Rucksäcke aus Meeresplastik und gründen GotBag. Eine coole Art das Reinigen der Meere von Mikroplastik mit Fashion zu verbinden!

Das ist ein SWM Shoutout wert, finden wir! Macht euch euer eigenes Bild von GotBag unter: https://got-bag.com

Wir finden es toll unperfekte Produkte trotzdem zu verkaufen und deswegen gibt es heute wieder ein .

Manchmal sind die Mängel so klein, dass man sie gar nicht bemerkt. Das gute ihr bekommt die Produkte sogar billiger!

Helft mit nachhaltigen Konsum zu fördern...

Wir wollen die Zeit nutzen, um uns allen mal auf die Schulter zu klopfen: Du, Du und Du haben dazu beigetragen, dass wir halbwegs erfolgreich durch die Krise kommen.

We are taking a moment for backslapping every single one of us: You, You and You have contributed to a more or less successful strategy that helps us cope with the current Covid crisis.

Lob an alle, hier und jetzt — Stay With Me Die Corona Krise hat uns trotz physikalischer Distanz in einen solidarischen Zustand des “aufeinander Acht geben” gebracht. Die politischen Maßnahmen der nationalen Quarantäne wirkten nur, weil wir (fast) alle an einem Strang ziehen. Ein Lob. 16.07.2020 Julian Willming & Henriette Reinhard...

We believe there is reason enough to question the concept of the "platform/sharing economy". Many examples of good for the common good lead to hyper-capitalist structures, exploitation and brutal market mechanisms.

In this blogpost, we want to drag attention to a good example: BikeSurfBerlin. BikeSurf provides bikes for the community- and you pay what you can! Read Henriette´s blog post to get to know BikeSurf and how it is different from the big corporations of the sharing economy.

Bikesurf - A true example of the sharing economy! — Stay With Me Tick-Tock.  Tick-Tock. Tick-Tock. Time is running.  We are facing a limiting time frame, during which we might even stand the slightest chance to limit the present and future  effects of climate change. There are more and more individuals who are thinking outside the b
