EXISTENTIAL CRISIS IS MY PHRASE OF 2024 This is the catching intro chosen by the podcast creators of "Participation talks" - a great show created by Biedrība "NEXT" with different kind of social economy leaders that talk about the necessity to get involved and the role of civic society. I was honoured to be chosen for the podcast and really enjoyed it - it was not that pessimistic as a whole, however, some troubling issues were mentioned too. We touched upon social economy, social innovations, community involvement and the specifics of my native region. Living just 50 km from the Russian border, the external frontier of the European union, has never felt so troubling. We still feel the consequences of the pandemic too, economically the region is inactive, aging and shrinking (not smartly enough). For the past year I have been involved in countless meetings about the region and how we shall "save it", however, people get tired of being saved. And sometimes you shall give them voice too. Today, two closely connected professionals told me that it's enough for them. They are tired and burned out. They quit. I felt sorry, but happy for them as well. They knew where to stop and draw the borders. Lately, I have also been thinking about ParticipationFatigue as a concept - you just get tired of advocacy that works in the long term (maybe) and countless meetings that end up the same place year after. However, something has moved. Hopefully. Let this post be a message to you out there that: - You are not alone there, feeling lost / empty / tired / scared - It is important what you do every day. It matters. It has a value. - It is troubling time out there and out here, out everywhere, but we will get through it together. - It is more important than ever to support each other and find your community or "safe place" of people that make you feel like you. BE the support to someone. Keeping involved and connected makes us human that care. Don't stop caring, get out there in arena. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” - T. Roosevelt, 1910 

How to prove circularity of your packaging? Very much needed standards to regulate all claims on circularity, wheatear it is connected with your packaging or operations! We all need proved and correct information on products that we use every day so we can choose on sustainability and ISO Standards on Circularity will help achieve this. This is the reason why Alijansa za cirkularna pakovanja and Ambipak magazin are organizing seminar to introduce Serbian Industry in new requirements in front of us.

🎧 Priit Koit, the CEO of Utilitas, was a guest at Äripäev Radio's show "Juhtides tulevikku" (Leading Into The Future). 🎧 👉 Among other things, Koit outlined that there’s a myth in the energy sector that the old model will continue to work - that we can persist with the fossil fuel-based approach. "Considering the high costs of energy investments, it would be fair to account the expenses required to keep old equipment operational alongside the investments in new capacity. When doing so, the gaps aren’t as large as they seem. The key is to invest in the right things." Link below to listen in Estonian 👇
