Episode 142 - Anna De Matos: igniting circular communities   🤩Anna C W De Matos is the founder of several community-focused sharing initiatives, and a force of nature. 👏Originally from Brazil, Anna De Matos went to university in the UK and moved to Iceland in 2017. Inspired by a visit to Toronto's tool library, Anna started a tool library and repair café, and managed to bootstrap and crowdfund her way to establishing these – all whilst dealing with the serious challenges of autoimmune disease. 👉Anna has degrees in Conservation and Restoration and is now channelling her skills and experience into helping people conserve and restore their things. She founded the Munasafn RVK Tool Library to promote shared resource use and has organized numerous repair café events, fostering a culture of repair and reuse within Icelandic communities. 🛠Anna’s skills go beyond organising and bringing people together, and she’s also created a technology add-on to myTurn.com, pbc’s Library of Things software to provide a self-service kiosk option for Libraries of Things.  💡Anna’s hands-on experience in running these initiatives provides her with unique insights into the practical needs of communities, which she has channelled into the creation of the Circular Library Network (CLN), helping communities around the world manage their own "libraries of things”, promoting sustainability through shared access to essential items – so we can all get more, from less.  🎤I loved hearing Anna’s story, and found it both inspiring and fascinating to learn about the many forks in the road that led her to what she’s doing now.

Must think and take a positive action....

Waste ➡️ new life💚. Are you regenerating?🧐 Did you know that regeneration isn't just about sustainability? It's a powerful concept to transform your life. And your business. And your community. Did you realise? ♻️Nature's resilience: Plants can regrow from tiny fragments, teaching us about adaptability and renewal. ♻️ Ecosystem restoration: Regenerating habitats increases biodiversity. Restoring 350 million hectares of degraded ecosystems by 2030 could generate approximately $9 trillion in ecosystem services. ♻️ Circular economy: Regenerative business models reduce waste and create new opportunities. ♻️ Community regeneration: Revitalizing neighborhoods improves well-being. What an inspiration. Have you been regenerative lately? 🌿 #circulareconomy #innovation #regeneration Credit: Amazing Life Hacks 🌟

Exactly one week ago, we broke ground at our MYTY Group forest in Bernau near Berlin. Over the next few years, around 5,000 oak trees will be growing here, which are specifically selected for their ability to thrive under today’s climatic conditions. This alone will certainly not be a game changer against climate change - nevertheless, it is an important and symbolic part of our sustainability commitment, which we started last year together with our partner Planted. Planting some of the trees ourselves and being able to witness their development over the next few years makes everything much more tangible. By measuring our carbon footprint, offsetting CO₂ emissions through carefully curated renewable energy projects around the planet and green habit building in our companies, we are already offsetting 25% more CO₂ emissions than we cause. And the trend is rising thanks to the identification of our climate sins and the will to change. A big thank you at this point to Caroline Fritz and Lisa Pesch, who are driving the group-wide organization of this initiative, and all of our Climate Officers in the agencies: Barbara Lindić at SHAPE & 404 agency, Caro Gernemann at Strichpunkt Design, Miro Poffa at CRK Kommunikation, Kreation & Kino, Yannik Klitzke at INTEGR8, Florian Muff & Helena M. at Hutter Consult AG, Alexandra Ritter at appmotion, Michael Dängeli at The House, Martin Odenbach at norisk Group, Sabine K. at TRG | The Reach Group GmbH, Selina Teuber at Yellow | Strategische Kreativagentur, Céline Fontana at Monami AG & Florence Scherer and Nadine Pachoud at SiR MaRY & Lisa Pesch at MYTY Group. And of course every single employee in the group who supports this cause and does their part to maximize its impact.

How can we have a positive impact on our planet's climate? 🌍 Last week we started to plant our very own forest in Bernau near Berlin - with Planted and the whole MYTY Group. 🌲 Our goal is not only to reduce our carbon footprint, but also to leave a positive handprint. We are not simply climate-positive, but net climate-positive, by overcompensating our climate impact every year. 💪
