Zero Waste picnic with think SI³
Relishing in the green

There’s also a great programme for the whole family, including a quiz on waste prevention, craft activities for children and a presentation of the booklet “Chillen statt Grillen” (Chilling instead of barbecuing).

Join the Zero Waste Picnic with think SI³
With around four million residents, Berlin is Germany’s most populous city. Yet this steady growth also brings its own set of problems. Green spaces and certain neighbourhoods are bursting at the seams, whilst a lack of cleanliness and other issues mean there is barely any room left for life in public spaces. This also affects the sense of safety felt by many residents and visitors.
Since 2019, think SI³ has therefore been working on various solutions to shape Berlin in such a way that everyone can feel comfortable and safe. These include, for example, park and neighbourhood runners, park managers and awareness runners. They are all intended to mediate between the various parties and ensure greater safety and cleanliness in public spaces. They can be found at locations such as Schlachtensee and Krumme Lanke, in Mauerpark, Kleistpark or Fennpfuhlpark.
