Measures and Tips

Sustainable-tips for your daily campus life

Stay warm – without buying new

The cold season brings with it a growing desire for new sweaters, jackets, and scarves. But staying warm through the winter doesn't automatically mean shopping for new clothes. Secondhand is a simple and sustainable alternative – and often surprisingly inexpensive.

Platforms such as Vinted or secondhand shops offer well-preserved winter clothing that has already been produced. Buying secondhand saves resources, reduces textile waste, and is easy on your wallet – perfect for everyday student life.

At the same time, it's worth taking a look in your own wardrobe: items that no longer fit or are no longer worn can be sold or donated. This gives clothes a second life and helps others.

In short: secondhand keeps you warm, saves resources, and creates space in your closet.
A small change in buying behavior – with a big impact on the environment and everyday life.

Do you drive to TH Wildau and often find yourself sitting alone in your car?
Carpooling is an easy way to share costs and save CO₂ at the same time. When several students travel together, the CO₂ footprint per person is significantly reduced—without any additional effort.

At the same time, fuel costs are shared fairly and empty seats are put to good use. Instead of sitting alone in traffic, you can drive to university together, more relaxed and more sustainably.

In short: carpooling is worthwhile – for the climate, for your wallet, and for a more sustainable campus life.
