On the 17th of May, this Friday, there will be a climate march to demonstrate distress about the current state of our climate and biodiversity, in a protest against the local and national government. Connect Wageningen has chosen to not take part in the march, as we do not agree with their protest against “seeming inability of local” government. In Wageningen, the city council is pro-climate measures and there are already plans in motion to reach our ambitious goals. It is awesome to see that everyone is so involved with the subject and we would really like to encourage you to not only march in protest, but also turn your concerns into something productive. Talk, message, email, call and fax your city representatives to see what they are working on and if you really disagree with the measures our city is taking. When you want to make or change policies afterwards, then the city council parties will help you realise it! Everyone is welcome to help Wageningen reduce greenhouse gas emissions! If you would like to take part in the march, it starts at 13:00 at the WUR building Atlas (Droevendaalsesteeg 4) and then you will march to the municipality of Wageningen (arriving at 16:00). Extinction Rebellion Wageningen and Extinction Rebellion NL host the event. For more details, check out their event: https://www.facebook.com/events/2291100014486171/. If you wish to inform yourself on the plans in Wageningen, here is a link to the climate plan Klimaatplan Wageningen 2017-2021 http://wageningenduurzaam.nl/wp-content/uploads/klimaatplan-Wageningen_16apr2019.pdf and on the same website (http://wageningenduurzaam.nl/) you can join many initiatives to become sustainable, so please have a look! The site, as well as the documents, is only in Dutch but if you contact us we will help you to the best of our ability.

Enquête 5 mei Hallo allemaal, hopelijk is iedereen een beetje bijgekomen van de 5 mei viering? Ondanks de kou was het op veel plekken toch erg druk en hebben wij in ieder geval een hele leuke dag gehad. Het is ook supermooi om te zien dat er zo’n dag neergezet kan worden doordat hier honderden vrijwilligers aan mee hebben gewerkt. Nu horen wij graag van u wat er goed ging en wat er beter kan. De enquête vindt u hier: https://forms.gle/4gX6axVDEvppiHkW8 ENGLISH We apologize to our non-Dutch speaking audience, as this questionnaire is only available in Dutch.
Deze enquête duur zo'n 5 minuten. Vanaf 2021 wil de gemeenteraad van Wageningen elk jaar €100.000 euro gaan bezuinigen op 4 en 5 mei. Connect Wageningen wil het mooie feest voor iedereen behouden en daarom is het belangrijk om te werken aan efficiënt gebruik van middelen en niet gelijk te gaan b...

Hey, you! Are you one of those super multi-tasking students that uses a mobile device while riding a bicycle? 😉 Starting from 1st of July 2019, it is prohibited to use a mobile device (phones, music players etc.) while riding your bicycle. This includes using it to navigate, whatsapp, scrolling through music etc. Anything that keeps your eyes from being on the road. Of course you can use it when you’re standing still. This is a new policy implemented nationally. Keep your eyes on the road, stay safe, and avoid the fine! 🚴♀️📱 https://www.facebook.com/politiewageningen/photos/a.335633819936723/1077527822413982/?type=3&theater
Vanaf 1 juli 2019 mag u geen mobiele telefoon meer vasthouden tijdens het fietsen. Bijvoorbeeld om te appen, de navigatie te gebruiken of muziek uit te zoeken op de fiets. Het verbod geldt voor alle mobiele elektronische apparaten voor communicatie- en informatieverwerking. Dus ook voor muziekspelers. Als u stilstaat mag u uw telefoon of ander mobiel apparaat vasthouden en bedienen. Wacht niet tot 1 juli en probeer er nu alvast aan te wennen! Dat kan u een bekeuring schelen. #politie #wageningen #boete #bekeuring #fiets #appen #muziek #veilig #verkeer #1juli #waarschuwing #mobiel #minderongevallen #daarredjelevensmee To the awesome, dear students of Wageningen. This is a special warning for each and everyone of you. Starting from July 1st this year, it will be prohibited to use a mobile device while riding your bicycle. This includes using it to navigate, holding it to scroll through music etc and obviously using a mobile phone to send WhatsApp messages. You can hold it when you're standing still. Do not wait until July 1st to accommodate with this new rule. It could save you quite a hefty fine! Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/pol_renkumwageningen
