On the 22nd of April it’s Earth Day. For the past 32 years this day has been an annual, global event dedicated to environmental protection and sustainability. You can be part of it by taking full advantage of this opportunity to be more responsible for our planet. To help inspire you, we’ve put together various events and workshops that will give you some concrete ideas. Because tomorrow starts today. With less waste. Every day.
The motto for this year’s Earth Day is “Live greener. Live in harmony with nature”. This has inspired us to organize various workshops and activities. Starting on the 22nd of April, and lasting for 2 weeks, we’ll have lots going on in selected Telekom Stores. There’s sure to be something for you, such as building a DIY bottle garden, making your own sustainable cosmetics, Fairphone workshops, tips on urban gardening, mobile phone repair stations and presentations by local, sustainable start-ups. Find out where and when you can participate here.
