Enjoy pure tap water \u2013 fresh, eco-friendly and free<\/h2>\n

Why choose tap water in Finland? Finnish tap water is high quality and tastes fresh. Studies have shown that it is even more pure than bottled water, so forget the single-use plastic bottles and fill your own straight from the tap. Drinking tap water is an eco-friendly choice that reduces plastic waste and cuts down the carbon emissions.<\/p>\n

Tip:<\/strong> Bring a reusable water bottle, fill up at any tap and enjoy the fresh Finnish water for free!<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s recycle together!<\/h2>\n

Recycling protects natural resources and reduces emissions that increase climate change. When waste is sorted, it can be turned into valuable raw materials. Recycling has many positive environmental benefits. In Tampere recycling is easy: you\u2019ll find bins for all different kind of waste everywhere in the city. Even small actions make a big difference.<\/p>\n

Tip:<\/strong> Return your cans and plastic bottles to any supermarket and get money!<\/p>\n

Explore Tampere sustainably<\/h2>\n

Make an eco-friendly choice and discover Tampere by using public transport, e-scooters or bikes! Tampere Regional Transport Nysse<\/strong> offers a good route network in Tampere and the surrounding towns. If you prefer to travel at your own pace, e-scooters and city bikes are ready and waiting to take you from one landmark to another. By choosing these sustainable options, you\u2019re helping to keep the air clean and streets peaceful. Easy, affordable and fun way to see the city.<\/p>\n

Tip:<\/strong> Hop on tram number 3 from the city center and hop off at the last tram stop, Hervantaj\u00e4rvi, and enjoy the beautiful nature!<\/p>\n

Stay in eco-friendly accommodations<\/h2>\n

Many hotels in Tampere are committed to sustainable practices, such as energy-efficient operations, saving water and recycling. Easy way to choose an eco-friendly accommodation is to stay in the hotel, which has a label of Sustainable Travel Finland<\/strong>. It proves that a company has certification and a transparent, long-term plan to promote sustainability.<\/p>\n

Tip:<\/strong> Skipping daily room cleaning helps to save water and energy!<\/p>\n

Support local<\/h2>\n

When you buy local products, you are not only strengthening local businesses, but also helping to reduce carbon footprint as local goods and products travel shorter distance and are often produced sustainably.<\/p>\n

Tip:<\/strong> Visit Tallipiha Stable Yards<\/a> to find local handicrafts, enjoy local food and delicacies in Tampere Market Hall<\/a> or shop at Pispala Clothing<\/a>!<\/p>\n
