Marburg’s Updated Sustainability Guide Puts Fair Trade and Eco-Living First
Marburg has released an updated version of its sustainability guide, Marburg in Transition. The brochure offers practical advice and highlights local projects focused on eco-friendly living. Residents can now access tips on reducing waste, supporting fair trade, and engaging with community initiatives.
The publication is printed on fully recycled paper and is available across the city, as well as online. It also includes contact details for key experts, such as Dr. Lukas Wagner from Philipps-Universität Marburg and Reinhard Cronenberg from the Ökomodellregion Marburg-Biedenkopf, who specialise in sustainable energy and regional products respectively.
The guide covers a wide range of everyday sustainability topics. It provides suggestions for cutting down on packaging waste, choosing fair-trade goods, and making ethical consumption choices. As a recognised Fair Trade Town, Marburg continues to promote globally equitable trade through local businesses and campaigns.
Volunteer-led projects take centre stage in the brochure. Listings include community gardens, Repair Cafés, and public drinking fountains, all aimed at fostering a circular economy. The guide also features schedules and contact information for recycling centres, secondhand shops, and other sustainable resources. For those seeking deeper involvement, the brochure outlines educational programmes and nutrition-focused initiatives. Larger quantities can be ordered at no cost from the Department of Environment, Climate and Nature Conservation, and Fair Trade. The digital version is available for download, ensuring easy access for all residents.
The updated Marburg in Transition brochure serves as a practical tool for sustainable living in the city. It connects residents with local projects, expert contacts, and actionable steps to reduce environmental impact. Copies are now distributed at public locations, with free bulk orders available for community groups and organisations.
