CommunityCologneGreener carnival: sustainable VeedelszügeKarneval can be loud, joyful, and lighter on waste The AG Nachhaltige Veedelzüge brings together BKB Verlag, Cradle to Cradle NGO Köln, Scientists for Future Köln/Bonn, and Zero Waste Köln. The aim: carnival tradition that respects materials: costumes, floats, Kamelle: without preaching from the sidelines. What the AG offers - Growing guide “Zoch ohne Driss” with tips for costumes, throws, and parade logistics. - A shared database of ideas and field reports (filter “Idee Karneval”): submit your best practice with photo rights. - Second-hand costume markets and swaps across Cologne in January/February (dates on their page). - Mini booklet giveaway “Pänz feiern Jeck - ganz ohne Dreck” for participating parades. Get involved Ideas, photos, and questions: AG-Nachhaltige-Veedelszuege@posteo.de Why it matters Karneval draws huge crowds; lighter throws and reused costumes cut parade-day waste without dampening the festivity.
