Hello!
New TRIANGLE Collaboration Projects have taken off - students from three different countries are co-creating and learning through experience in the making of a "real life" environmental project. We will keep you up to date here and report on exciting experiences.
Looking forward to it – it’s sure to be magnificent!

Lebensraum Boden (Video, 3sat.de)
A few centimeters beneath our feet lies a hidden universe: the soil. We need this fragile world to survive. Yet we are in the process of destroying it permanently.
It is a thin layer that surrounds our planet, but more living creatures exist in it than there are people. The deepest part of this layer took a million years to form. The upper one, which feeds us and regulates the climate, centuries.
The soil: A diverse habitat
Healthy fertile soil is the most densely populated and diverse habitat on Earth. Only the interaction of billions of microorganisms and small organisms creates this thin layer, which is essential for survival. As part of the water and nutrient balance, it stores rainwater and nutrients, protects groundwater from pollution, reduces greenhouse gases and regulates moisture.
A Vital Resource Under Threat
We all drink too little tap water - even though in Germany and France it is considered the safest food of all. Here, as there, it is at least as good as bottled water from the supermarket. How can we make tap water more palatable (schmackhaft) to people? And: How is tap water actually produced? More...
There are brand new project categories:
- Project Medical plants
- Project Textiles
- Project Tree Novice
- Project Glacier melt
- Project Future mobility
- Project Littering
- Project Wild bees
- Project Surviving
[in progress]
Microplastic pollution is a serious problem, but blanket bans won’t solve the issue, says Denise Mitrano. We should regulate plastics more precisely to create incentives for both innovation and environmental safety.
