What is better to bring people together than building together? The Yearly Summer Pavilion is a project with the goal of involving the community into thinking, designing and finally building a public pavilion that would last all summer. It will become the symbol of our community and a great place to hang out! This space could also be hosting some events to discuss about current issues of our society and how we could make it better. For this first version, I am proposing an library with an outdoor play area. This could fit in a 3x3m open space (or more) next to our townsquare. Let's make ourselves proud, let's build a great Summer Pavilion!

An incentive or competition between cafes to reduce the amount of disposable cups used. The cafes could reduce the price of coffees in keep cups. The aim is to have cafes with no disposable cups. Disposable cups are not recyclable and end up in landfill. Many cafes are not aware of how much harm this is doing to the planet and are carelessly using two cups (double cup) for each customer! 'The war on waste' television show began to address these issues.
