On April 25, a demonstration titled "The forest is for bequeathing, not for plundering" took place in Tallinn. The Tallinn University Green Club was also represented.
But what exactly is this forest of ours, and why is it so important?
Green Month 2026!
Green Month 2026!
Green Month took place at Tallinn University in April, and we participated with five events!
Green Club Film Night: Cost of Growth
Green Club Film Night: Cost of Growth
April 1, 2026
We kicked off Green Month on April 1st by watching the film Cost of Growth together at the BFM SuperNova Cinema.
It was a preview screening, meaning the film is not yet available to the general public, and the creators gave us the exclusive opportunity to screen it before taking it to film festivals.
After the screening, a panel discussion took place featuring Halliki Kreinin, Maia-Liisa Anton, and Grete Arro. The panel was moderated by our club member Ayan Shamichiyeva.
Culture Club x Green Club Plant Bingo

As the second event of Green Month, we hosted "Green Bingo" in collaboration with the Culture Club. We took the classic bar bingo concept, complete with MÖKU’s official bingo machine, and gave it a more sustainable twist.
Prizes included beverages from local producers (such as Pühaste, Saaremaa Brewery, and Mull) and plants donated by the Tartu Botanical Garden. Attendees also had the chance to swap plants with fellow enthusiasts at an on-site plant exchange corner. Furthermore, all bingo cards were printed on the other side of previously used paper from the Ecology Centre to minimize paper waste.
Thank you to all the participants and sponsors!

As part of the third Green Month, we organized a natural cosmetics workshop led by Pille Laiakask. To start things off, Pille explained what natural cosmetics actually are and why they are a great choice.
Afterwards, everyone had the chance to make their own natural body cream, design a label for their jar, and take the finished product home!
Earth Day Bog Trek at Viru Bog

We spent Earth Day together in Viru Bog.
Andres Arendi guided us through the bog on snowshoes, introducing us to the bog itself, the plants growing there, and the wildlife. We also took a short break to eat and enjoyed some tea we had brought along in thermoses.

The global water crisis affects us all, yet women are disproportionately affected compared to men. For this reason, the central theme of Water Day this year is water and gender.
DIY Merch Event
DIY Merch Event

In March, we organized a DIY merchandise event for our club members so we could all wear items featuring our logo without needing to manufacture anything new. Everyone brought along a shirt, bag, pair of trousers, or a similar item they wanted to customize with the logo.
We provided the means for DIY linocut printing, as well as various fabrics, threads, and other materials. Participants were free to use whichever technique resonated most with them, and by the end of the day, everyone left with a "Green Club" themed item, something they had already owned but which now held a deeper meaning!

Overshoot Day marks the date when humanity's or a nation's demand for ecological resources and services in a given year exceeds the capacity to regenerate them within that same year. Earth Overshoot Day is announced annually on June 5th, World Environment Day. Last year, it fell on July 24th.
Overshoot Day arrives earlier each year. This is not sustainable. At current consumption levels, we are living as if we had multiple Earths from which to draw resources.

How do we buy clothes? Do you swap items with friends, buy second-hand goods, or purchase new ones? Which second-hand shops in Tallinn do you visit? Humana?
On February 6th, the Green Club visited shops in the Kopli and Balti Jaam areas with Erasmus students. This outing was organized partly because we had noticed certain misconceptions and myths regarding the purchase of second-hand clothing and other items during our events:
Items sold in thrift stores are always dirty or damaged – this is generally untrue; sorting second-hand clothes in quality shops is hard work.
The impact of buying second-hand clothes is negligible compared to other sources of greenhouse gas emissions – this is simply not true; fast fashion and overconsumption have negative effects on our environment and quality of life, as they impact the health of the planet.
Shopping for second-hand clothes takes a lot of time – it takes no more time than searching for clothes online or walking around department stores.
For your next second-hand shopping spree, here are some shops recommended by club members:
Paavli Second-Hand Store
Sõbralt sõbrale
Uuskasutuskeskus
Aarete Laegas
