„Bunte Wiese“ (Colorful meadow) is an initiative to promote biodiversity on public green spaces. It was founded in the course of the Year of Biodiversity 2010 by students and employees of the University of Tübingen. They are committed to a sustainable maintenance concept for public parks and green spaces in the city of Tübingen. Together with the city of Tübingen and the Tübingen office of Vermögen und Bau Baden-Württemberg, existing measures are being reconsidered and improved. Following on from existing ideas, an exemplary concept is to be developed and implemented that shows how biodiversity can be promoted even in small areas.

The climate garden at the University of Tübingen was established in 2012 as an initiative for sustainable development by students from various disciplines. It serves as a place of learning for a regenerative city of the future and for climate-friendly urban self-sufficiency with fresh food. The garden is open to all interested parties as a space for experimentation, learning and meeting. There is an active community garden group of about 20 active people who meet regularly.

PapierPilz collects misprints and paper waste and then binds them back together into spiral-bound notebooks. The aim is to avoid waste and not throw away things that are not actually waste. PapierPilz products are therefore also documents, evidence of throwing things away.

The Sch(m)utzengel Tübingen are a group of people who show that real change doesn't have to come from above.

We are an initiative of PhD students at the University of Tübingen. We have different backgrounds, but are all interested in the different aspects of sustainability. Our first project was a sustainability symposium in December 2017, where we developed new ideas and planned the next steps for our initiative.
