Everyone who visited the RespON stall at this conference could make their own softener, toothpaste or solve a cipher. Photo and recipes (in Czech).

In the National Technical Library on 31^st October 2018, we joined the Regional conference EVVO for companies and the public sector. We presented our activities at a stall.

In cooperation with the Prague 3 Municipality and Echoes of Ekofilm, we screened the Slovak documentary Immortal forest, within the event Sousedská slavnost.

Thanks to our previous collaboration with the municipality of Zeleneč, we could be present at the Fairytale expedition on 8. 9. 2018, where we had a stall with games for children. In the photo gallery you can even see too original drawings by young green-minded artists.

In 2018, the organisers invited us for their June conference too (18. 6. 2018). This time participants got the opportunity to make their own softener at our stall. Here you find pictures (source: Rise and Shine).

On Saturday 17^th March we had the pleasure to talk about our activities at a stand at a student Rise and Shine conference. We had prepared a quiz for participants and a video had been shot (in Czech) in connection with our participation:

In 2017 we presented sustainable issues on these occasions:

• presentation at Earth Day in Zeleneč u Prahy,
• stand at Elderly Day on náměstí Jiřího z Poděbrad in Prague,
• presentation at CEMS Block Seminar at Vienna University (WU) focused on managing the change towards a greater sustainability in companies.

On the riverside of Vltava, our fifth Sustainability Evening took place on 28. 11. from 18:00. Topic: climate change. Film screening included, stalls of sustainable vendors and NGOs, DIY workshop, discussion… It was organized on smíchovská náplavka (Smíchov riverside – Hořejší nábřeží, cell 17).

The fourth edition of Sustainability Evenings focused on Sustainable Future. It was organised on 3rd April from 18:30 at Prostor39 in Žižkov (Řehořova 33/39 Prague).

We created together some products for household and watched a movie Tomorrow, looking at sustainable future. Also, we invited again interesting people who engage in sustainable products so you could get inspired by them.

The third Sustainability Evening with the topic Sustainable consumption was held on 22^nd November 2018 from 6:30 PM, this time in Campus Hybernská. There were workshops on DIY cosmetics and projection of the film A Simpler Way. Invitation for the event. And some pictures.

The second edition of Sustainability Evenings, entitled Sustainable Sea, took place on 22^nd May 2018 from 7PM in Prague’s Studio Alta again. After an introductory debate, we watched the film Sea of Life, which dives into some of the most spectacular ecosystems on the planet. It focuses on both the destruction that’s happening in the ocean and the efforts underway to stop it. The purpose of our event, in cooperation with Ekofilm Echoes, was to draw attention to how humans have a big impact on the chemistry of our oceans. The event is documented by several pictures.

The first edition happened on 7^th December in Studio Alta from 6PM. The theme was Zero Waste, a concept focused on reduction of trash (mainly plastic) and finding reusable and recyclable alternatives. During the first edition of Sustainability Evenings we tried to show you how you can incorporate this philosophy into your day to day life. The program consisted in meeting local zero waste vendors and NGOs, a documentary screening of “The Clean Bin Project”, followed by a discussion on how to take action locally.
