Ecologically friendly food and beverages in Albisrieden, Zürich

I’ve noticed that ecologically friendly food and beverages are gaining popularity. Migros in Switzerland sells a number of sustainable labels that you can read about by clicking here. And at COOP, the turnover of, for example, Naturaplan products has grown considerably since 1993 when it was first introduced. You can virtually experience Naturaplan by clicking here.


Another shop which sells ecologically friendly products is claro fair trade. For example, I bought some really good biological Max Havelaar chocolate in a claro fair trade shop in Albisrieden, Zürich. As you can see on this photo from the shop, claro fair trade also has many other fine products.

Yesterday, a new shop selling biological food and beverages from local farmers opened here in Albisrieden, Zürich. The shop is called Bachser Märt. I received a nice invitation to the shop opening. And I was not the only local citizen to show up on this opening day. A large number of other people had decided to also stop by to have something to eat and/or drink and/or buy groceries. There was a good atmosphere there. I tried some really great, sweet apple juice and also tasted the roasted pig that the people working for Bachser Märt had prepared (see photos below) on a big grill. What made the experience really good was also the music that the group La Tsiganotschka played during the opening event.

Impressions from Ree Park in Denmark

I visited Ree Park in Denmark earlier this month. I had a great time there. Ree Park is an interesting Experience Economy contribution. Here are some impressions from the day, I spent there: The lemurs in the park look really cute and come really close to guests. The Cheetahs are really agile and can run more than 100 km per hour. This is what the cheetahs had for lunch. Listening to the guide talk to the large number of people watching the feeding of the cheetahs, I learned that it's horse meat. The white powder on the meat is, as I understood it, vitamins. Here's a coke machine in the park that is adapted to the surroundings. Good innovation. I think it’s a good idea to split up the park in different continents. That way, it’s easy for guests to learn about on which continents different animals live.

Trust

One of the most innovative innovation communities I have come across is Innov8rs . I experience that both in terms of how technology is used and how moderation is done, Innov8rs is moving well forward. This week, Innov8rs Connect, a free online event, takes place. The first webinar, I tuned in for, focused on trust. And it certainly did not disappoint. Both the expert, Philipp Kristian Diekhoener, and the moderator, Hans Balmaekers, conducted a wonderful jam session, during which questions, ideas and knowledge ping-ponged back and forth so well that it sounded like great music in my ears. After the webinar, I was still so excited about what happened that I decided to update research I did about  Trust  some time ago.
