A Visit to the Sustainable side of Spalenberg.
This tour revealed the sustainable shops located on Spalenberg, Rümelinsplatz and Marktplatz. It was very enlightening regarding the fair trade stores ensuring fair working conditions and support for organic materials. The upcycling at Freitag and Rework were impressive.
