Schweriner Tafel and village community: green change for the region!

In a time when climate protection and promoting biodiversity, a current project by the Schweriner Tafel shows how local initiatives with fresh fruit and vegetables can make a positive contribution. Here not only food is provided for people in need, but also planted fruit trees that act as air filters and bind greenhouse gases. The garden of the board becomes a green oasis and offers children the opportunity to actively contribute to improving their environment. The initiative was awarded the "Climate Protection next door" ideas competition and receives a funding of 1000 euros, reports Nordkurier .

The support of local projects is crucial. By August 22, supporters can vote online for projects, whereby the ten with the most votes also receive 1000 euros in funding. A jury is to select five projects from a total of 20 winners, whose funding is doubled. In this way, more extensive measures can be taken to promote biodiversity and to improve the habitat.

Green oases and the commitment of the community

In Rathebur, the village community plans to redesign a bus stop into a "accounting point", which is intended to serve as an exchange platform for books and other objects. This not only promotes education, but also creates a place for social contacts. “There is something about” - an inspiring project that strengthens the sense of community and at the same time has ecological benefits.

In Bad Doberan, 100,000 crocus onions are to be planted in order to promote biodiversity and supply wild bees with food resources. The commitment of Parchim's citizens who want to plant a Moltke-Linde in honor of Helmuth von Moltke's 225th birthday also makes an effort to contribute to environmental protection. The cost of this magnificent linden tree is around 2000 euros, according to the Nordkurier.

biodiversity in cities in focus

The need to promote urban biodiversity also becomes clear through the program in Frankfurt, which collects innovative ideas in order to preserve and strengthen urban nature. The Initiators are convinced that such an approach not only contributes to improving air quality, but also increases the lifestyle in cities and addresses challenges such as food safety and climate protection. An upcoming ideas competition in the summer of 2025 will offer another forum.

A rethink in urban planning is necessary. It is important to recognize the diverse habitats of the city and to continue to pursue the concept of the green infrastructure. In this way, not only the needs of people, but also that of the flora and fauna can be optimally brought into harmony.

The initiatives in Schwerin, Frankfurt and beyond show very clearly: The future and the preservation of our biodiversity are in the hand of committed citizens and community projects. If we tackle together, these small green oases can make a big difference.
