Country: Estonia

Description: “Climate change on my plate” is a European Solidarity Corps project by young people that focuses on the impact of food on health and the environment, vegetarian food as one way to stop climate change, and youth conservation activism. With several YouTube videos the initiative informs young people about the threat of climate change to their lives and suggests activities. The videos inspire other young people to become active. The videos show forms of activism such as videos, podcasts, strikes, performances and street activism, and suggest recipes and podcasts.
Description: Over 200 people were invited to the mini lifestyle festival Elu5 to discuss climate change and regenerative lifestyles and to participate in workshops about, e.g., self-sufficiency. The festival was organised in an ecovillage and created an inclusive atmosphere for a community of differently abled international and inter-generational members and volunteers. International volunteers were invited to help organise the festival. The project raised awareness of the ecolog- ical, social, economic and cultural aspects of sustainability.
