With the campaign in which we provided simple and understandable information about the concepts of waste, garbage and compost, we researched solutions to the waste problem from kitchens. By documenting the lives of people who compost, compost production was possible in city life, and awareness of the contributions of compost production to ecology was studied with the information provided by permaculture and agricultural engineers.

​

Examples were presented on the separation of garbage and the use of waste with compost production. We underlined that even with behavioral changes in kitchens, a better, livable world can be provided for future generations.

Urban traffic problem; It continues to increase its presence in our daily lives as a factor that makes city life difficult. While the number of vehicles used and the number of vehicles purchased is increasing, air pollution, climate change and urban traffic problems are also increasing.

Cyclists in metropolises have been meeting for the last 10 years to raise awareness with slogans such as "we are in traffic too" and "get out of the car and get on the bike".

We participated in these awareness drives with activists in these cities, especially Istanbul, Izmir, Eskişehir, Ankara and Manisa. We went to the cities we visited by bicycle. We produced a documentary with zero carbon emissions.

Longoz means "flooded forest" in our language. It refers to a formation in which the river channels in the forest change with every rain and thus the movement becomes visible. İğneada, which has one of the longest coastlines in Turkey, has 6 lakes, including Mert Lake, Pedina Lake and Erikli.

The documentary film, which is a joint work of Bicycle Film Collective Kinocycle and Miki Film Collective, examines the Longoz forest and opens it up for discussion, with the testimony of beekeepers, fishermen, foresters, guides and other professional groups living around the Longoz forest, which is three hours away from Istanbul.

We would like to thank İğneada Environment Platform, Kırklareli City Council, Dayko, Demirköy, Beğendik, Limanköy, Sislioba people for their protection and contributions to the forest.

The experiences of individuals who turn their living spaces green show that the need for soil and greenery is increasing day by day.

The effort to go green in balconies, gardens, roofs and terraces is not only an organic method but also responds to the noise problem and lack of recreation in metropolitan cities.

People who planted in front of their houses due to increasing concrete and gray areas, those who planted their gardens, those who left seeds in public spaces, interviews of a storyteller couple who said "we carried the soil to my balcony in 10 kg sacks for days", interviews of Ceyda, with whom I had preliminary interviews in Izmir, who said "life" for her balcony. "I want to have a say in my field" were just a few of the headlines of the documentary.

With this content, I continue to make open calls and invitations for "#mydreampublicspace, #mydreamcitygarden".

I met a sweetest, 7-year-old, beautiful girl with autism. Her name is Pırıltı. He has a strong family who strives for him. Sometimes the burdens of life require unity, that's exactly why we said come on and wanted to join hands with a campaign. 30% of Pırıltı's school expenses are covered by Seed Autism Foundation. This is not enough because he is currently receiving training 3 days a week for 1 and a half hours. With this training, his health problems have disappeared in the first place. She started to express herself and communicate. Pırıltı is unique and education liberates Pırıltı and makes her shine. We're looking for volunteers to crowdfund Shimmer and celebrate life to train full-time. This video is Pırıltı's story, but we express it with the testimony of her family. I really want you to watch and support. Sometimes it's so easy to embrace joy. Let's join hands and celebrate life together.
