Shop in stores with unpackaged groceries and save plastic waste

What is this commitment about? The purchase in stores with unpackaged food can save a lot of plastic and other waste. Thus, you actively contribute to waste reduction and can also decide for yourself how much food you really want to buy. You also avoid the consumption of microplastics with that very easily.

We are a social enterprise from Berlin with a big dream: We want a world in which everyone contributes to a better and more sustainable future according to their possibilities and regardless of time budget, language or previous knowledge. For this purpose, we gather on vostel.de numerous engagement offers from non-profit organizations that are looking for volunteers. By doing this, we show concrete possibilities for action in order to become socially active and would like to motivate above all the younger generations to get involved for a better world.
