Reinickendorf starts with the neighborhood basket: Free picnic set for everyone!

A free and sustainable picnic set called the “Kiez-Korb” is now available to borrow in Reinickendorf. Launched on September 25, this innovative offering is a response to the challenges often associated with waste such as plastic cups and single-use bottles at outdoor picnics and celebrations. The Kiez basket offers an environmentally friendly alternative that not only reduces waste, but also saves resources and has a positive effect on the climate. This is reported by the Berlin side.

The set consists of a spacious, washable bag and includes reusable cutlery, dishes and cups for up to 12 people, as well as a 2-liter thermostal. All articles are made of high -quality and ecologically sustainable materials and 100 percent recyclable. In addition, the neighborhood basket contains a fair trade football and a colorful Fairtrade garland, which are particularly suitable for children's birthdays and smaller celebrations outdoors.

Sustainability in focus

District mayor Emine Demirbüken-Wegner (CDU) underlines the importance of sustainability and fair trade in this project. “The Kiez basket is an important step towards environmental friendliness in our district,” said Demirbüken-Wegner during the presentation at the Open Town Hall Day. The set is a cooperation project between the climate control center and the coordination for sustainable development in the Reinickendorf district office and the cargo bike rental fLotte Berlin.

The neighborhood baskets can be loaned free of charge for up to three days, whereby the booking can easily be made online. Collections are the Rathaus Reinickendorf, the Frohnau district library, the Diakoniezentrum Heiligensee and two QM offices in Auguste-Viktoria Allee and on Lettenplatz. More information is on the website Fleet Berlin to find.

The influence on club sport

The sustainability initiatives that are reflected in the neighborhood basket are also important for clubs. These often face the challenge of integrating environmentally friendly concepts into their program despite limited financial resources. A common prejudice is that sustainable products are expensive. However, acting sustainably can bring both economic and social advantages, such as through the use of reusable dishes and the absence of disposable items, which lowers costs and protects the environment. This strategy could even make membership more attractive, especially among young people, what through the Merway's platform is emphasized.

In summary, it can be said that the Kiez basket not only offers a practical solution for environmentally conscious celebrations, but also represents an example of the implementation of sustainability in everyday life. It promotes joint action and awareness of ecological alternatives in society.
