Vier Millionen Kilo Kartoffeln suchen ein Zuhause

Vier Millionen Kilo Kartoffeln zu verschenken

"Der Plan ist simpel: Ecosia finanziert den Transport von Sachsen nach #Berlin. Die Berliner Morgenpost hilft, die kostenlose Verteilung zu organisieren.

Wir suchen dafür Verteilstellen in der ganzen Stadt: Kirchengemeinden, Schulen, Sportvereine, Nachbarschaftsinitiativen, soziale Einrichtungen oder Privatleute. Jede Abnahmestelle erhält eine Tonne der Kartoffeln, kostenlos, zum Verteilen an alle, die sie gebrauchen können (Sorte Agria, festkochend)."

Any update on this?

They have a website (4000 tons) with regular updates (in German) and a map.

Some rough automated translations:

Thank you!!

The first day is over. In the morning 22 tons were dumped at the Berliner Tafel, at the same time the first tour was supplied with potatoes in half (a total of 11 stations).

There is a lot to tell: press coverage, lots of great pictures, logistics details, support offered. Thank you to everyone who helps.

But the most important thing: the delivery of the many, many places next week seems organized. At the bottom of the map you will find all the places that will have potatoes since this afternoon (we have many more requests, but the financial support is still missing!).

Second week

Next week, 132 tons will be distributed (after 42 tons in the first week). Then, however, it gets cold - which is not good for the potatoes - and we can't finance more. Delivery will be made in several days, the details can be found at the bottom of the card.

We also collect recipes for potatoes in Berlin and Leipzig, which we then want to put online. In addition, we discuss how the unique action can perhaps be continued, in the interests of all farmers in the region. We will keep you up to date here.

Is it going any further? We definitely have a sponsor for another truck (22 tons!). We want to extend it as soon as it has become a few degrees warmer. And for the farmers in the region, we are currently trying to get our technology to the start, so that something of our action remains.

Thanks for the info and translation!
