Something about me
I was born in the city of Děčín, near the border with Germany.

I am studying at UJEP at the Faculty of Environment in Ústí nad Labem. My master's thesis is about chemistry, specifically "Phospholipids in soil" I am just starting now.

I have been in Germany during my studies. I was in Dresden for one year. I was at TU Dresden. I was a very nice year. I met very nice and friendly people a learned about new things and a new culture. I know German very well.

I have a B2 certificate in the German language.

Hopefully I go back. I am searching for possibilities of how to go there, maybe for traineeship or a job in a company. Companies in Germany are more open to students and pupils.

I sing in a choir, I play flute, and I'm trying to do step dance.

Concept of sustainability
Sustainability is very important thing. I prefer within sustainability self-sufficiency. For example to much food and drink are transport from so far distance. This is very bad and nonsense. The support of our farmer and agriculture is very important, because it is not well, when state is reliant on another countries.

The things must have be recyclable and always useful. The science should focus on sustainable production, if possible.

We could to use raw materials, they could we always use.

The people must to save with water, energy and waste to recycle.

The basic thing for this is education of people and explain of reasons for arrangments of sustainable steps. The people should to join.

We can to observe how many electricity was produced. We were in the landfill in the afternoon. This landfill was restorated and they have own windmills for electricity production. They have solar production. They use the gas from the waste. We went into Hamburg after this excursion. We had free time. We went through the tunnel under Labe and we were in the church. We saw the city from the tower of church. Hamburg is so much big city.

3. Day

We were in the Alfred Töpfer Akademie for landscape protection. In the "Hof Möhr" we had the lecture about enviromental education. Then we went into "Lüneburg Heath". This heath is to poor. The soil is not so fertile. Because the people breed sheeps, they fertilze soil and enrich with nitrogen. We went into Bauck Hof by Lüneburg in the afternoon. We had lunch there and than we had excursion through the farm. This farm was biodynamical. They breed cows, chicken, and vegetables. Our agriculture is close. The farmer does no buy things. Jung people could come and enjoy the agriculture and farm. The farm make enviromental education. After exkursion we went into farm - shop and farm - coffee. We discussed with the farmer about agriculture. Then we went in the city and into the hostel.
