Civic activity
Human activity always has some impact on the population, nature and its biodiversity, the built environment, the landscape or natural resources. Societal influencing begins with following common issues. The next step is participation.
Make sustainable choices in your everyday life
Everyday life can be made meaningful when one strives to realise oneself, share what one has and promote the common good. Climate change, overconsumption of natural resources, loss of nature and other sustainability problems can be overcome together.

People from the Nordic countries make the most trips per person in the world. Finns are unfortunately at the top of this list. Instead of the number of trips, invest in the content of your trip and travel sustainably. The components of sustainable travelling include environmentally friendly modes of transport and activities at the destination, as well as possible carbon offsets.
Environmental impacts of projects must be identified and prevented
Projects subject to an environmental impact assessment (EIA) can be motorways, mines, waste treatment plants or wind farms. The legal procedure provides information on what the actualisation of a project would mean in practice and what its impact on the environment would be.
