While I am at it: The #organictraveller's #travelnotes on #Kerala are hopelessly outdated, help (and #boosts) very much appreciated!

If you are in #Kochi / #Cochin, #Trivandrum / #Thiruvananthapuram and around I'd be grateful to hear whether places listed in the https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-kerala articles are still operating (in the described way).
I'm also keen to hear about newer places offering #organic #fairly traded/produced #food and goods!

Finally I finished my travelwriting on this summer's #MuenchenVenezia #biketour: https://www.organictraveller.de/ecotraveller-munich-venice-by-bike
It's based on my posts here, but more elaborate, with links and all: notes on the #bikeroute, the people we met, the accommodation, the food. Enjoy!

During #bitsundbaeume22 I realised I need a 2nd account for all the stuff I care about apart from #organic food, #trains, #bicycles and #sustainableTourism: So here comes @trish for the #activist part of me. #neuhier

The #organictraveller account will continue with #travelnotes, #restaurantreviews, notes on #ActiveMobility and #planetfriendly #food, in short: with the #goodlife. #althier

I'll unfollow some of you from this account and move you over to @trish, to keep things tidier.

Another example for the #biennalearchitettura2023's attempts to mitigate its #climate impact can be found on the menus of the on-site #cafes: three dishes marked as #carbon-neutral. Why not all? Why not a single #organic dish, no organic #fairtrade'd #coffee (which would make a difference for an event of this size)? A single organic softdrink was on display, as everything else in a #one-way #plastics bottle. Even the coffee is served in throw-away paper cups covered w/ plastics. Disappointing.

Unfortunately there won't be a positive update to https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-venice-icecream : #Venice has always been a place w/ few #organic food places, and I haven't been able to find a single new entry to the #organictraveller 's #travelguide to #Venezia this year. The only organic #icecream in town I know of comes from #French #franchise #Amorino, what a shame...

If you wonder why the #biennalearchitettura2023 #pavilion of the #Czech and the #Slovak republics in the #Giardini seems closed (it's under construction), with a scarse video presentation in front of it: The Czech exhibition "The Office for a Non-#Precarious Future" is being shown on #Arsenale, featuring the toxic working conditions in #architecture, with an important message to all (knowledge) workers: Organize, #unionize .

@labournet_de

The #German #pavilion at #biennalearchitettura2023 turns out to be a #reuse #recycle #workshop cum #storage: Materials from the #biennalearte2022 are being transformed into furniture and more for and with various #cultural, #social and #communal projects like the #centrosocialerivolta in Porto Marghera, among others in collaboration w/ # @bellevuedimonaco! Good work!

Alternatives to #flushtoilets in times of diminishing #freshwater supplies around the globe are a prominent topic at the #Venice #biennalearchitettura2023 : While the #Finnish #pavilion shows a traditional #Huussi dry #toilet producing natural #fertilizer which will be used at a #communal #gardening project on one of the #Venezia'n islands after the exhibition, you can actually use a dry circular toilet (or a unisex #urinal) producing fertilizer at the #German pavilion.

At the ticket office of the #biennalearchitettura2023 in #Venice I'm asked by which means of #transport we came here, the exhibition would try to balance #climate emissions. When I answered: "by train", the student at the ticket office seemed to be relieved, but her reaction showed clearly that this wasn't the answer she was used to. So here to everyone: #Venezia can easily and comfortably be reached by #train. Use it to come to

@juefried @mastobikes_de @fedibikes_de @CriticalMass The statistics for yesterday's #Munich #criticalmass (early part) : 365 cyclists, perfect bicycle weather, one car parked on a bicycle lane, one car driver (male, w/ kids) trying to break through the peloton and being stopped by the accompanying police (mounted on bicycles and motorcycles) who were otherwise enjoying the ride as much as we were. Fun!

It's #criticalmass #Friday in #Munich today, and the weather forecast is promising a beautiful summer day to all #bicyclelovers! Meet up in front of the #BayrischeStaatsoper between 6pm and 6:30pm.
Break at the #Bavaria monument around 8pm, to welcome latecomers.

#ebersberg #cm to start from Marienplatz 6:30 pm, @juefried ?

#Zerowaste #supermarkets are facing hard times, notably those established in the beginning of the #COVID19 pandemics. Many of them are forced to close now, among them the one in #Munich's neighbourhood of #Haidhausen I've been frequenting weekly for the past years, and the one in #Erding. I updated https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-munich-zero-waste accordingly.

What's going to happen to the #supermarkets of the #organic #supermarket chain #Basic w/ shops in South Germany (most in #Munich) and #Austria: All shops (at least in #Germany) are being taken over by the conventional supermarket chain #TeGut, making the latter a nation-wide player. Most shops are going to be converted into regular TeGut branches, starting in August 2023. Negotiatons on whether a few locations (three?) are to be continued as fully organic supermarkets are ongoing.

@fedibikes_de @mastobike_de @CriticalMass @juefried I'm sorry, my hopeful weather forecast did not work out for the #criticalmass in #Munich tonight. But despite the pouring rain, 50+ good-humoured #cyclists and a handful policemen mounted on #bikes and bikes swam bravely against the car wave, meeting a lot of amazed drivers' eyes :)
