oikos Newsletter January 2015

Happy new year from the oikos community!
The first newsletter of 2015 comes with a lot of firsts and new’s. While some of you have already decided on the new year’s resolutions, let us help the rest in making up their minds and add one more to the list of existing resolutions. This year, resolve to consume less of one thing. It isn’t about eating less sweets. Take a stand for the environment and use less flying and more trains, less cars and more trams, less meat and more veggies, less plastic and more cloth; less is more.
Apart from new year resolutions, the new year also brings along an empty diary! Block your dates with everything oikos has to offer this year, right from joining the Spring Meeting, organizing the FutureLab, attending the Winter School, 3o seconds with Eike  Haas and so much more.
Happy bookmarking! Read more
