    I REVIVE
    May 9, 2024
    Many young people living in urban areas today live a life disconnected from nature and are therefore unaware of the extent of environmental crises and how they threaten their mental health. The disconnection from nature can cause young people to face emotional struggles such as stress, anxiety, and hopelessness. Through this project, we wanted young people to strengthen their connection with nature and build environmental awareness. We aimed to help them build a healthy connection with both the planet and their inner world.

    Bridges for Plastic
    Aug 30, 2023
    The Bridges for Plastic project brought together Catfarm residents, local neighbors, and visitors to reimagine plastic waste as a source of creativity, collaboration, and awareness. Throughout the project, we collected plastic waste around Catfarm and the surrounding area of Poussan using a cargo bike. We then recycled the materials with our Precious Plastic machines and transformed them into new, useful objects. What was once seen as waste became a symbol of community empowerment and environmental care. See the article from Precious Plastic here .
