Work with authorities to restore a degraded stream section: banks, vegetation and habitat.
Exemple : Un guide réutilisable pour lancer un café réparation mensuel dans n'importe quel quartier de Lausanne : lieu, bénévoles réparateurs, promotion et un premier samedi réussi. Évite que l'électronique, les vélos et les textiles finissent à l'incinérateur de Tridel.
Example: A monthly fix-it event in the Flon, run with local makerspaces. Specialises in small electronics, bikes, and clothing — keeping things out of the Tridel incinerator.
Example: A volunteer-led network sampling micro-plastic and nutrient levels along the Lausanne lakefront. Monthly readings feed an open dataset used by EPFL researchers and the Canton.
Example: Co-designing climate lesson plans with teachers from Gymnase de la Cité and École de la Sallaz. Building on the Plan d'études romand.
Example: Linking the EPFL agroecology plots with neighbourhood gardens in Ecublens and Chavannes to share seedlings, tools, and harvest data.
Example: Connecting the Bois de Sauvabelin to the lake with native-plant pollinator strips along Avenue de Beaulieu. Working with the Ville de Lausanne parks team.
Example: Free Saturday cycling lessons for refugees and migrants in the Lausanne area. Bikes provided by Pro Velo Vaud — we need volunteer instructors and a route planner.
Example: Five shared compost hubs for the Sous-Gare quartier, hosted in courtyards and a school garden. Cuts organic waste from grey bins and produces compost for balcony growers.
Example: Pooling households across Sous-Gare and Renens to negotiate a group rate on PV panels. Builds on the Canton de Vaud subsidy programme.
Set up a recurring fix-it event where locals bring broken items and volunteers repair them. Reduces waste, builds community skills, and keeps useful things out of landfill.
Pool households together to negotiate a cheaper installer rate for residential solar panels. A collective approach means lower costs per household and shared knowledge through the process.
Turn a council-owned lot into a Miyawaki-method micro forest with the local community. The Miyawaki method produces dense, biodiverse native forests that grow 10x faster than conventional planting.
