Make Sense!

Yesterday two french girls came in to GrundKert, a community garden in District 8 to check things out. Apparently they were looking for the Leonardo Garden, the project of KÉK, at the corner of Leonardo and Tömő, but ended up here at the Grund. It’s a quite common event, since the two community gardens are just a stonethrow away from each other, both identified easily by the nearby Corvin köz, a historic site of the 56 revolution, now dominated by a shopping mall.






They represent Make Sense, and are on a Central European tour to get to know people and organisations doing meaningful stuff. Check their tumblr about this amazing trip, here.




What is MakeSense?


Basically people post their world-saving projects, or humble initiatives focused on some social enterpreneurial project, You can check that out, and can offer help, which could mean a click on Facebook share, but could also mean you can contact the organiser and offer your dedicated work on the project, or you could also BOOM it, which means you yourself set up a Facebook event and invite others to discuss what can you do about this certain project you found on MakeSense, all this with a few clicks, integrated in the site.




It’s up to you.

All Plants Bulletin is endorsing You to go and find something which helps our common goal of peace and harmony for all plant and human life on the planet, but of course you can go and Make Sense of anything what makes you tick!

Defend Your Community Forests


All Plants Bulletin is not stating that you should go out and defend your natural resources yourself, when they need it, forming militias and expressing general civic unrest if necessary, we only share this report about a mexican town where they did so, enhancing and strengthening the ties of the social structure of the settlement, practicing direct decisionmaking, growing trees in greenhouses, patrolling the woods, guarding it from illegal cutting.

Live Without Toxics In Your Home Workshop

"You love taking care of your body and skin but you are fed up with all artificial creams, showers gels, deodorants and shampoos? You are concerned about chemicals found in everyday cosmetics and how they can affect your health and natural environment? Then you cannot miss Szatyor’s “Live without toxics at your homeworkshop! Come and have fun preparing your own, totally toxic-free and eco-friendly bath bombs and deodorant, which you can take home afterwards!"


Well, well, well, isn't modern life is just so terrifying, terrible and terrific? You might be a person who trusts consumer protection systems, like, badges and certifications, and thinks that what could get to the shelves of supermarkets or beauty shops is MUST be safe - we've been to the Moon and we are playing with radio-controlled robots on the surface of Mars, so safe mass-production can't be an issue, can it.


All Plants Bulletin wouldn't dare stating that big companies are poisoning you with their products, no way, but if you are interested in the subject, check this funny cartoon about how it is overseas.






But anyways, making cheap and totally natural cosmetics for yourself is a cool social activity. If you were a gal, doing useful and good-smelling stuff together with likeminded gals probably sounds great, and if you were a guy, well, spending time with a lot of young and open-minded urban gals doing useful and good-smelling stuff together probably sounds freaking awesome, so, we won't hold you up, click on the Attending button right now if you happen to be at Budapest. If you are not, start moving, you got 10 days to get here!
