A sustainable life for the residents of Riihimäki

Kestävän elämäntavan piirroshahmot: Sipi Siili ja ystävät

The aim of the KERI experiment was to raise awareness among Riihimäki residents on sustainable services and to get city residents to choose these, to form a community that supports a sustainable lifestyle, and to outline the operating model of a goods and items loaning point. The experiment was implemented through meetings, discussion, communication, networking and gathering observations, findings and ideas.

Results

  • Operating model for loaning of goods and items
  • Sustainable services as a list and on a map
