Detmold Competes to Green City with 'GroundAir'
Detmold is actively participating in the 'GroundAir' competition, aiming to make the city more sustainable and livable. The competition, organized by Provinzial, encourages citizens to transform sealed surfaces like courtyards and driveways into green spaces.
Citizens can contribute by uploading before-and-after photos of their unsealed surfaces at bodenluft.net. The city may arrange for material pickup in special cases. Mayor Frank Hilker emphasizes the goal of improving Detmold step by step.
Worn-out stones can be disposed of at recycling centers Hellsiek and Maibolte. The competition offers cash prizes and garden center vouchers as incentives. Every unsealed surface contributes to the city's climate improvement, flood protection, and enhanced quality of life.
Detmold's participation in the 'GroundAir' competition is about creating new habitats for plants and animals. While the winner of the competition is not specified, the city encourages all citizens to participate, making Detmold greener and more sustainable.
