Yet being a student I have not a real power to change meaning of mass so my current concept is to focus on my own life and a close neighborhood such as roommates and friends. Daily I´m thinking about the impact which my life of an ordinary student has on the nature and slowly I´m trying to find the way I will go in the future...having own eco-farm, living in sustainable community, living faraway in nature etc. For example, right now I´m concerned in food. I hope that the trip will help me to understand better our possibilities for sustainable life in Europe because I´m not sure there is a way how to keep a standard we live in and simultaneously how to concern the nature. Moreover I have learned about such technologies theoretically on my Erasmus in UK so I want to see it working. | Yet being a student I have not a real power to change meaning of mass so my current concept is to focus on my own life and a close neighborhood such as roommates and friends.

== Day 0 == | |||
I have been first at the bus station which was quite stressful because I wasn't sure if I hadn't missed the day or hour:-)Later other people came and as usual the first impression was that they are rather strange (unknown). During the way we get together little bit and after arrival we get to know at least our names. before I departed family frightened me that it will be raining and floods...fortunately we were lucky! Till now I have just described what we did because the only thing which is absolutely connected with the topic of field trip was our discussion about concept of sustainability we had that first evening. I really appreciate different views and quality of contribution of other people. A good beginning. | |||
== Day 1 == | |||
The day carried on the good beginning of the previous day. Luneburg really impressed me by a typical German architecture which I had never seen before but what's more there were so much green!! On the other side the city seemed to me to be quite small and calm but later the university increased my interest in the place. From the afternoon I remember more "students' perspective of sustainability at university" presentation because it is naturally closer to me and can inspire me to do sth right now in the area I'm within. At least I will follow Prague Oikos. | |||
== Day 2 == | |||
With great satisfaction I found two green hair at my head in the morning so that the process of greening had started:-) The tour around campus of university was so short I'd love to see more sustainable places so that I can get some experience what my university is missing and can improve. For some people this was day D because we visited THE LANDFILL. Well it was really perfect, I'm pleased I could see it for myself, I enjoyed a walk on the municipal waste without seeing or smelling it, I liked the way Mr. Wolfsteller presented his "child" but it wasn't so new for me because I had had a course about waste at university in UK so I had seen it before...in pictures only. Actually I am more thankful I could stand so close to a wind mill so that now I know a little bit how pleasant or unpleasant it is (in short-term of course). | |||
Hamburg has such a unknown atmosphere that I cannot find right words for a description. All the industrial buildings, cranes, ship, docks, bridge under the river basin looked enormously and wonderingly. Another memory is a super modern lift on the St. Michaelis church tower...(which caused a death of my two green hair). | |||
== Day 3 == | |||
A day D for me!! Pretty interesting talk with Susanne Eilers about environmental education and involvement of public into sustainability projects. I really appreciate that they have focused on working with public because it is a lifestyle of ordinary people which is mostly unsustainable and that should be changed. After that we had a nice but short walk around heath with the most colorful field I had ever seen (the one everybody took photo with). A flock of sheep reminded me on the same view I saw in Romania but it wasn't extraordinary and a shepherd was more common job there. For a lunch and to spend the afternoon we went to Baukhof, an organic biodynamic farm. First of all I have to praise the lunch which wasn't large but very tasty and nutritious, I believe healthy as well. During lunch with Eliska we had to sit to next table because the table for our group was not spacious enough but finally we were lucky because we sat at the table with farmers and all the people working there so we could smile at them and speak English with them. Later on we went with Ralf Weber for a round and saw part of production. At the same time there were also pupils from a high school on a kind of two weeks internship. And it is a good idea because children have to get somehow. | |||

I'm happy we were there only so few days because writing the diary takes so long... | |||
