With raising demand for minerals there is an increasing threat of resource conflicts because of mining’s thirst for water and its huge impact on water quality. A circular economy is one way to slow down the rush to dig up the ground.

Plastic waste, industrial effluent, chemicals: scarcely a single body of water is safe. They threaten ecosystems, biodiversity, and human health. The solution to the wave of pollutants? A circular economy that conserves resources.

The second edition of the Polish School of Agroecology was successfully held in 2024. The program enhanced participants' knowledge, empowered their engagement, and fostered networking among agroecological practitioners from Poland and other European countries.

Every passenger aims to get from point A to B as quickly, easily and affordably as possible. For persons with reduced mobility, one cannot talk of fair and equal access.

Consequently, the freedom of mobility is strongly related to the question of accessibility to the different means of transport for everybody.
