In #Dresden, only one of formerly three #packagefree #supermarkets is left, but fortunately the local #organic food #cooperative VG with its many organic supermarkets (and also other organic supermarket chains) allow you to buy dry food (and sweets!) in your own containers. Here's the updated #organictraveller 's #guide to #zerowaste #shopping in town: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-dresden-zero-waste
If you want to take a #bike with you on #German #ICE #trains you're usually well advised to secure the ticket many monthes in advance. Not so now, during the busy travel season around #christmas : Easy as pie to get a #DeutscheBahn #biketicket even on highly frequented long distance trains.
Mind you: Having your own bike with you at the highly compatible price of 9 EUR inside Germany saves a significant amount of transportation costs at the destination.
Little time when changing trains and hungry? At #Leipzig #Hauptbahnhof there's no need to compromise on the quality and the #carbonfootprint of hastily grasped #food as there's an easily accessible #organic #supermarket cum #cafe on ground level: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-leipzig-main-station
ÖBB Nightjet: Das sind die neuen Ticketpreise
Die ÖBB haben ein neues, komplett dynamisches Preissystem für ihre Nightjets eingeführt. Die Kosten für eine Nachtzugfahrt sind nun nicht mehr vorhersagbar, die Maximalpreise steigen teils erheblich. Besonders deutlich sind die Preiserhöhungen beim Schlafwagen, den die ÖBB damit klar ins Luxussegment befördern. Die „Zugpost“ hat das ausführlich recherchiert …
#Stockholm / #Arlanda #Airport : RC #Café & #Patisserie https://www.rcchocolat.se at terminal 5 next to gate E3 saves lifes with #organic #coffee drinks and sweet rolls while waiting for a heavily delayed flight ( #flyskam compensated using @Atmosfair )
No paper napkins at the #Tollwood #organic #winterfest at #Theresienwiese in #Munich (the place notorious for the Oktoberfest beerfest) - but you can have a returnable, reusable cotton napkin for a small deposit: This festival is the best example for how easy it can be to have fun without #plastics and other unnecessary waste. Open until Dec. 23, 2023 10pm: https://www.tollwood.de/
If you don't speak Portuguese it's not easy to find places offering #organic #food in beautiful (and easily navigable) #Lisbon / #Lisboa. So I hope the following research on location proves helpful: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-lisbon-zero-waste

@jon what baffles me is that one new Nightjet, at just 7 single-decker cars, has capacity comparable to a typical narrow-body airplane.
And just 33 of them, that's 5% of total Ryanair capacity; at 1/10th the airplane efficiency (average speed) they'd only be able to serve 0.5% of demand Ryanair serves.
In order to serve as many passenger-kilometers as Ryanair alone, they'd need to have over a thousand 20-car double-decker trains.
Well, some people think Teslas are sustainable urban transport...

The serious planning for #CrossBorderRail South East Europe has to start with *what rail borders* do I want to investigate
These are all now as pins in the map
https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/crossborderrail-south-east-europe_991708#7/43.619/20.660
The emphasis: ALL the places where lines exist between non-EU countries in SE Europe, external borders of the EU, and a couple of Croatian borders I am missing

Paris mayor quits X, calling the social media platform a 'vast global sewer'.
Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo said on Monday she was quitting Elon Musk's social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, which she described as a "global sewer" and a tool to disrupt democracy.

@organictraveller My advice: Next time don't miss Mahlzahn; my #Heidelberg organic bakery of choice since basically forever: https://www.mahlzahn.de/. If you have a bit more time, you could also visit the food coop Appel un'Ei in Neuenheimer Feld, https://appelunei.stura.uni-heidelberg.de/ and nearby the bicycle self-help workshop URRmEL http://urrmel.de.
With my last visit in #Heidelberg five years ago, there's a lot to update on the #organictraveller 's #travelguide. Unfortunately my recent stay was very brief, but here's at least an updated #sustainable #shoppingguide covering small owner-run shops offering durable and socially responsible goods, often #organic and/or #fairtrade : https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-heidelberg-shopping
It's #bicycle time today, on the last #Friday of the month: Meet up for the #CriticalMass #bikeride through #Munich at the #BayrischeStaatsoper at 6.30 pm, or at the #Bavaria at 8pm, or find the crowd using #CriticalMaps.
Whether you're interested in (not only #marine) #science and #technology, #history or #climate, the city of #Bremerhaven with many #museums drawing on its past and present as a #port is a worthwhile #tourist destination even on bad weather days and during the cold season. Here's where to #eat and #stay if you care about #organic food: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-bremerhaven
#Bowls, #overnightOats, #granola, #bananabread and #brownies - the menus of #cleanEating inspired #restaurants often resemble one another. However boring this may seem (who wants to eat this every day?) - they are usually a good starting point if you are on the outlook for an #organic #lunch or #breakfast in an unknown city: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-munich-eateries has updates and new entries for #Munich / #Germany.
If you have a #bicycle in #Hyderabad, here's a new must-have-seen, uhm, must-have-cycled: a 21 km long #bikelane - shadowed by a #solar roof (likely to power the surveillance cameras): https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/telangana/2023/oct/01/hyderabads-solar-roofed-bicycle-track-to-be-thrown-open-today-2619840.html
@fedibikes @mastobikes_de @CriticalMass Today's evening break is at Wettersteinplatz now, not at Bavaria: https://omaps.app/44GAtz4651
Second round is to start from here at around 8:30 pm.
All of #Munich stands drunk on the #Oktoberfest #beerfest tables these days? No, as today, #Friday, 29th Sep, is #CriticalMass day! #Bicyclelovers meet up for a leisurely #bikeride in front of the #BayrischeStaatsoper between 6pm and 6:30pm. Let's see whether there will be the traditional break at the #Bavaria monument (w/ a view over the #Wiesn) around 8pm, to welcome latecomers.
