Each year we are co-financing activities of non-governmental organisations in the field of environmental protection
Each year the City of Ljubljana is co-financing via public tenders different projects and activities of non-governmental organisations in the field of environmental protection. Some of the projects address also the areas of circular economy, for instance:
- Everyday greenery/ Smetumet cultural ecological association and social enterprise
In May 2016, a social event was organised in front of the City Hall presenting sustainable solutions for an everyday greener life: waste collection and processing – recycling, global learning, local food, reusable products, packaging-free shopping, fair trade, do-it-yourself principle, creative alternative solutions, item exchange, self-sufficiency, urban gardening and other good practices.
- Bag on Bag/ Ekologi brez meja
On World Environment Day, 5 June, Ekologi brez meja teamed up with artist Luka Mancini to stage a guerrilla event against plastic bags at Ljubljana’s Central Market. At the event the passers-by had the opportunity to witness the creation of a real-life Bagfoot (in Slovenian it is called Vrečkožer). At a stand they received reusable bags and information about the problem of non-degradable bags and their impact on the environment.
- Don’t buy, repair/ SEZAM
The aim of the campaign running in 2017 is to raise awareness among the youth about the problem of excessive consumerism and the negative impact it has on the environment. The campaign is focusing on promoting repairs, material recycling and upcycling of different items with special emphasis on furniture, electronics, clothing and bicycles. Ten videos are planned to be made which are then going to be promoted through different communication channels and a document on state policy in the field of repairs is planned to be produced.
