Commission Fairmined jewellery with local goldsmiths

Ask your jeweller for metal with a fair mine story Fairever in Leipzig supplies Fairmined and Fairtrade gold and silver to goldsmiths and makers across Europe. Premiums flow back to artisanal mining communities for schools, safer chemicals, and restoration. Other seals (Green Gold, Auropelli, LBMA Responsible Sourcing) exist — ask what each certificate actually covers, then choose craft over anonymous bars. What you can do - Commission a ring, repair, or remake and ask your local goldsmith to order Fairmined or Fairtrade half-products via Fairever - Browse the Fairmined supplier page for Fairever for alloys and casting grain - Read Fairtrade Deutschland’s gold background before you shop How it works Makers order certified grain, wire, or sheet. Independent audits check labour, mercury-free methods, and premium payments. Your piece carries a traceable chain instead of anonymous scrap-mix metal. Why it matters Jewellery can celebrate love without funding conflict or poisoned rivers — when neighbours and makers pull the same fair supply.

Support Fairmined Credits for Corazones de Oro

Fund inclusion in Pacarní with one gram of impact Fairever offers Fairmined Credits: each credit stands for one gram of responsibly mined gold from Iquira, Colombia. The physical gold stays in the local market; the credit pays extra impact. Most of the price supports Corazones de Oro, an inclusion project for children and youth with special needs in Pacarní, with a share for the Alliance for Responsible Mining. What you can do - Buy a Fairmined Credit on the Fairever site (Corazones de Oro section) - Share the project with a makers’ group or repair café that wants a solidarity action without shipping gold - Follow Alliance for Responsible Mining for more ASM community programmes How it works Credits separate metal trade from social impact funding. Miners sell gold locally; buyers fund verified community work and ARM’s standards work. Why it matters Solidarity can travel farther than a parcel — one credit ties European makers to a named Colombian community project.

Make and mend at Makerspace Gohlis

Selbermachen statt neu kaufen The Makerspace in Gohlis is a shared workshop in a former car dealership where Leipzig residents turn ideas into objects: with tools, machines, and neighbours who enjoy teaching. What is on offer - 3D printing, wood and textile work, ceramics, photo lab, welding, and more. - Workshops and courses to learn techniques and meet other makers. - Priority on reused and surplus materials; new purchases only when necessary. Open hours - Tue-Fri 17:00-22:00; Sat 10:00-16:00 - Lindenthaler Str. 61-65, 04157 Leipzig Why it matters When households share heavy tools and skills, fewer rarely used machines are bought and discarded: repair and making stay local and joyful.

Pin cycling obstacles with RADar

Pin cycling obstacles with RADar RADar! lets riders mark the bumps, gaps, and dark corners that slow everyday trips. Drop a pin on the lane you already use, add a short note, and watch the public map as towns respond. What you can do - Open stadtradeln.de/radar or radar-online.net (no account required on radar-online.net) - Pin glass, tree roots, missing links, or lanes that end without warning; attach a photo when safe - Filter the map by status and share fixes with neighbours or councillors How it works RADar! works Germany-wide. Participating STADTRADELN Kommunen receive a free 21-day licence; others can use the open map. Reports feed municipal workflows so repairs target real ride routes. Why it matters Small fixes on streets people already ride make the network feel cared for faster than waiting for megaprojects.
