We´ve explored the city of Luneburg, then we´ve been introducted to the concept of sustainability by PD Dr. Maik Adomßent. After a break we had a workshop with two members of the student organisation Oikos which attempts to make the university more sustainable. | We´ve explored the city of Luneburg, then we´ve been introducted to the concept of sustainability by PD Dr. Maik Adomßent.

- We started with a lesson of Dr. Alexa Lutzenberger on sustainability project in Germany. Her presentation was for me the most important event of the day. It made me think (and doubt) about the big business of renewable energies in this country. Obviously Germany wants to have a monopoly on sustainability know-how and wants other countries to follow. But if every european country starts to buy pv panels, wind turbines,starts to import biomass and starts to plant and import fuel plants, the impact on the Third world will be catastrophic. There will be new ways to exploit poor countries, new conflicts, new environmental catastrophes and new wars... I´m still not persuaded about the true of German good intentions. | - We started with a lesson of Dr. Alexa Lutzenberger on sustainability project in Germany.

That was very inspirating day of our stay. We´we seen Saxon heaths and had a guided tour. The history of heaths was a great example of how no-sustainable economy can destroy the whole regional community and cause emigration. | That was very inspirating day of our stay.

Afterwards we moved to the first biodynamic farm in Lower Saxony and had a great guided tour around the property. I appreciated all informations we got and the close experiency of the farm life. | Afterwards we moved to the first biodynamic farm in Lower Saxony and had a great guided tour around the property.

Today we spent the morning having a lesson with young polititian member of local green party. In Lower Saxony green parties share about 30% of the power. In whole Germany it´s about 10 to 13%. | |||
Another thing that was very interesting was new "sustainable" quarter in Hamburg that we visited in the afternoon. We got to know the whole project, visited modern and green houses and discussed about their advantages and disadvatages. | |||
