German Version of the Website

How can we break with the taboo of the most natural thing in the world and rediscover its value for our soils? "Dominik Blöchl, author of the children's book of the same name, says "What must, that must! With the help of this book, young and old alike can become true circular-flow heroes! TShow more

What is the project goal and who is the project for?

The story is written, the pictures drawn by Horacio Pelayo. Now it's time to print and deliver the approx. 50 pages strong book. So give the project a hand if you can. It is worth it!

The target group is children from 3 years, kindergartens, forest kindergartens, daycare centers, libraries, schools and all others who are attracted to the idea of the cycle!

Why would you support this project?

Since we are all embedded in the cosmic circulatory system (which is often forgotten), the topic of "fertile soils" naturally is of concern to everyone! Especially those who are involved in healthy nutrition.

Especially children should be taught this knowledge, so that they can later decide for themselves how much they want to help shape a virtual or real world!

How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?

The money will be used for printing and binding the first edition (1500 copies), taxes, thank-you gifts and shipping. Further money will increase the print run to 3000 copies, thus dropping the unit price and increasing the reach of this important message. The trilingual concept aims of course at a wide distribution in Europe. If there is a great demand, we are for shure also thinking about a new edition in three additional languages!

What are the sustainable development goals of this project?

Primary sustainable development goal

Life on land

Why does this project contribute to this goal?

SDG15 zielt ja genau auf das Thema „Humusaufbau“ ab, das jedoch im SDG noch auf rein pflanzlichen Kompost beschränkt wird. Hier geht es natürlich darum, auch menschliche Ausscheidungen wieder an den Punkt zu bringen, dass sie mit in den Zyklus eingebracht werden können. Finizio (Future Sanitation) zeigt bereits, dass es möglich ist, zudem wird eine Änderung unserer Essgewohnheiten sicherlich zu qualitativem Humus beitragen!

This project also pays toward those goals
