Our Projects

Over the next month many projects will be launched in the village with the purpose to educate, inform and motivate people towards an environmental friendly way of living and ecological awareness.


The first and main “food for the earth “project will be the provision of composting facilities in the neighborhood and thus to enhance the community consciousness for the sustainable use of natural resources. The situation today is that the people throw their organic waste in the normal garbage; this biowaste constitutes 30 – 40% of the whole waste volume. This means that not only a lot of greenhouse gas emission is produced – during transport as well as during disposal - but also that the organic material, which can be transformed into valuable compost, is wasted.


Therefore, our community association has developed an integrated project for neighborhood composting. A compost site with several composters will be set up and all people will be given the opportunity to bring their household and garden waste to this site, which will be located close by, in their own street or neighborhood. For the quantities of bio waste they have brought, they will receive in return the finished compost, ready to use in their garden.


One of the other projects - called "Forest Children´s Kingdom” - involves to restore the children’s playground which is situated near the compost site  in a natural and ecological way and to create an area suited to be used for events and workshops. In these workshops tools and opportunities will be provided to  get aquainted with the aspects of re-cycling and other environmental friendly approaches.  Some of the planned events and workshops: playing with clay and other natural materials; creating art with recycled materials; planting flowers on the compost site,… .
