One of the purposes of Majavan tila osk is to defend the commons from the climate crisis, by bringing Finland closer to carbon neutrality. We are happy to announce that we have managed to reduce our direct energy usage (electricity costs) by approximately 50 % with a small investment in energy saving.

Our energy use

As discussed previously, the main contributions to carbon emissions that we expect to help reduce are those from building construction and heating. By taking over a space which had previously been almost unused for years, and would soon not be able to contribute to the maintenance costs of the building any more, we help extend the useful life of our building. Also, our building has plans to renovate our front doors, which are currently a major heat leak during winter and therefore probably contribute to higher usage of our district heating (which is not carbon neutral).

One of the purposes of Majavan tila osk is to foster relationships between the people in our neighbourhoods, particularly projects which grow the commons. We are therefore very happy to have joined the association Etelä-Haagan toriryhmä ry.

Etelä-Haagan toriryhmä ry

Etelä-Haagan toriryhmä helps people come together to organise local events in Haagan tori, one of the 8 market squares of Helsinki (according to the city’s own Torilla tavataan!).

Individuals, groups and businesses can join the association to participate in the events arranged in Haagan tori and to propose their own.

About half of our space in Kauppalantie 22 is available for rental. We’ve posted public announcements in oikotie and mushrooming focused on the main 42 m² area.
