About ECO GUIDE:

Eco guide is a map where everyone can find more sustainable places.  Through our different categories, you will find a way to enjoy the city and the Polish culture and take better care of the environment at the same time.

MAP:

This map was created by Laura, one of our European Solidarity Corps volunteers. The purpose of this project is to share with foreigners places that are more sustainable.

“As a foreigner in Wroclaw, I found it difficult to find places that can help me to have a more sustainable life. It was not just the language barrier but also, that I didn’t find a place that gathered all this information, so it was time-consuming.

That is why I decided to create a map where you can find places from restaurants to secondhand shops that can help especially foreigners living in Wroclaw to have more sustainable options.”

Our categories:

Restaurants: vegetarian and vegan restaurants in different cuisines and prices. The main ones are fully plant based but there are others that offer some of these options.
Why: meat production is considered one of the major causes of climate change. That is why we want to support plant-based meals as we believe is a good alternative.

Second hand: all kinds of secondhand shops. From clothes to furniture.
Why: clothes production is also a big problem for the environment, especially in fast fashion. Thus, we want to give voice to secondhand shops as we believe that circular economy is a really good solution.

Fruits and vegetable shops: we have selected fruits and vegetable shops where you can find seasonal products.
Why: We think that supporting local business is important, instead of buying in big chains supermarkets.

Social initiatives: you are going to find social initiatives to be informed with what they do and be able to help them.
Why: supporting NGO’s and local initiatives is important, as their goals are aligned in making a better world and support people who is in social exclusion.
