Sustainable Christmas joy: Give away market in the House of Sustainability!

On January 22, 2025, the Weltzänder e.V. organizes a Christmas gear market that aims to promote the responsible use of resources. The venue is the House of Sustainability, where items released from Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. can be collected. The event aims to use materials longer and save resources and energy.

In order to take part in the gift market, the items cast must be in good condition, washed and intact. Articles such as clothing, footwear, household items - including bed linen, towels and kitchen utensils are particularly addressed. A special focus is on Christmas things that are in the new state. In contrast, certain articles are not accepted, including books, CDs, DVDs, loose accessories, underwear, socks, larger electrical appliances and furniture.

sustainability and resource conservation

The event not only sees itself as a simple exchange market, but as part of a comprehensive sustainability strategy. According to sustainability-wirtschaft.de , resource conservation is one of the essential measures to use natural raw materials efficiently and responsibly. The goal is long -term environmental protection and ensuring resource availability for future generations.

In this context, the gifewage offers an opportunity to promote the resource -saving measures in everyday life by reuse of objects. These can be implemented by various strategies such as recycling, the use of regenerative energies and conscious consumption.

past events and their successes

A similar event took place on December 17, 2022 in the St. Arnual sports hall, organized by the sustainability initiative Transition Town Saarbrücken e.V. There were able to hand in objects from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and take them from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event was free of charge and required no pre -registration, which made participation easier and promoted social exchange.

The acceptance criteria for submitted objects were similar, with clothing, shoes and household goods being searched for in good condition. Remaining objects were passed on to social institutions in Saarbrücken. This practice illustrates the goal of protecting resources and minimizing the environmental impact by abundance.
