Programme nearbyFood & GardenTodmordenShare seeds through a neighbourhood propagation stationLeave seedlings for the next gardener Propagation stations are simple shelves or cold frames where neighbours drop spare seedlings and pick up what they need. Incredible Edible groups use them to keep spring momentum without a single gatekeeper. What you can do - Set up a labelled shelf with a "take one, leave one" sign using the propagation station guide - Stock tomatoes, herbs, and pollinator flowers at the height of sowing season - Pair the station with a WhatsApp or noticeboard so people know when fresh trays arrive How it works A host garden or community centre offers shade, water, and a daily check-in. Contributors write the variety and sow date on each tray; takers replace with something else when they can. Why it matters Seedlings are the bottleneck for new growers. A propagation station turns spare windowsill space into shared abundance.seedsseedlingspropagation +2
Programme nearbyRepair & ReuseMunichBorrow from the Münchner Werkzeugbibliothek in MunichBorrow from the Münchner Werkzeugbibliothek in Munich The Münchner Werkzeugbibliothek lends more than 250 tools and useful objects for private use: drills and carpet cleaners, plus a 3D printer, a candy-floss machine, a projector, and more. Three Munich branches make borrowing cheaper than buying, and keep rarely used kit out of cupboards. What you can do - Create an account in the loan system and pick a membership (for example a weekly membership at 4€) on Münchner Werkzeugbibliothek - Search the catalogue, reserve up to two weeks ahead, then collect at Gasteig, Halle 2, or Trudering - Donate objects you no longer need so neighbours can borrow them - Come to a Stammtisch if you want to volunteer or help run the library How it works Register online first. On your first pickup, bring a German ID card with a current address sticker, or a registration certificate plus a passport. Loan fees are paid at handover, or charged when you collect from a locker station. The 24 h Halle 2 locker needs one in-person account check at Gasteig or the Halle 2 desk, plus a debit or credit card on your account. Treat borrowed objects as if a friend lent them. You can extend in your account if nobody else has reserved the item. Why it matters Sharing tools and event kit saves money, space, and resources. Neighbours get good equipment for a small fee instead of buying something that will sit unused after one weekend.toolslibrarysharing

Why it matters Ulm residents can try a sled, a uke, or a camera without storing another bulky object at home.borrowlibrarysharing +1

Programme nearbyFood & GardenKielRescue food and cook with what you haveSmarter shopping: less waste Kiel treats edible food as too valuable for the bin. The city supports fair sharing, better storage habits, and partnerships that keep surplus from shops, canteens, and cruise terminals reaching neighbours instead of incinerators. What you can do - Plan meals with a shopping list or weekly menu; buy soft fruit and veg only a day or two before use. - Store items in the right fridge zone; use senses before best-before dates; freeze leftovers in portions. - Join Foodsharing Kiel e.V. (about 650 volunteers and 93 partner businesses); try the interactive Zero Waste fridge at the Nachhaltigkeitszentrum. - Put cooked and uncooked food scraps in the Biotonne, never down the drain or in residual waste. Why it matters Kiel was named a Foodsharing Stadt in November 2024. A late-2024 cruise-ship pilot with Seehafen Kiel and Tafel Kiel redirected more than 700 kg of bread, fruit, and vegetables across six landings.foodsharinglocal
