About

This is a very special day - why? Because we are at episode NO 10 of the GreenMe Berlin podcast, yeah!!   Now what’s happening on todays’ show? Well, what would be more fitting to celebrate this special episode than getting the organizer of a very, very unique event in Berlin in front of the mic?   It’s Stefanie from the Green Market Berlin!   The Green Market is Berlin’s first and no. 1 green lifestyle market. It’s running 4 times a year, one for each season. And for the summer edition, it’s moving to a brand new location (which we gonna tell you more about in a bit). There’s usually around 3000 people per day (which could rise quite a lot this year). You can check out around 60 vendors: a whole world full of original vegan street food, fashion, cosmetics, crafts, creative gifts, music, live presentations, workshops, cooking shows, film screenings and so much more. Promise, there’s no activism, no preaching - just heaps of flavor explosions, beautiful products and positive people.   And I’m so excited to have the hero behind it all on the show today. Stefanie Witt, a super energetic Berliner. With a big portion of passion, she built up an incredible platform for the Berlin green scene. She’s bringing together consumers with small scale producers, so we can all learn and grow.   We talked about heaps of things: * What’s new for the summer market & why Steffi is taking a big risk with that * Why you need to choose your words wisely to get people excited for vegan products * Some books and films you should definitely watch * Why she says no to big brands and helps small businesses instead * How to stay cool in a crisis moment & why you sometimes just need to take the risk * Why Berlin is a vegan paradise * Why there’s always a way, even if others tell you it won’t work * A special announcement on what’s next (apart from the Green Market)   You can check out the full transcript, pictures and all links mentioned on www.greenmeberlin.com/podcast-010-the-green-market-berlin   Make sure to swing by at The Green Market Berlin and let me know if you do so, I’ll definitely be around on Sunday.   If you don’t wanna miss out on events like that, make sure to check the GreenMe Berlin events calendar on www.greenmeberlin.com/events   AND if you happen to be in Berlin on the 22nd June - I am running my next GreenMe BLN tour! This time, we’re off to explore the buzzing Friedrichshain neighborhood. I’ll take you to some of the most passionate and dedicated green businesses I know in the area.
