Goal
GRO SELV is an open community of young people who experiment with making sustainability more real and practical in small and large projects. We explore opportunities for upcycling, recycling and seasonal experiences in our own lives. Together with volunteers, we organize events and workshops where we eat, build, experience and travel with a focus on a lower CO₂ footprint. We fantasize, get ideas and experiment - and make GRO SELV a laboratory for green initiatives and dreams. We get down to business and try out the green ideals with our own hands. In GRO SELV, we want to support the good ideas and utilize the many resources and materials that otherwise go to waste. We want to turn worry into excitement and desire to create. With the green projects, we expand our palette of experiences and see new and better opportunities around us.
