The clothes we wear express on the outside what we are about on the inside. The struggle comes from knowing that these clothes are often the source of pollution all through their life cycle. From the vast amounts of water required to grow the cotton to the release of micro-plastic during washing and the waste created by discarded clothing, expressing our personality and bringing joy to our lives through fashion can quickly become problematic. With fashion there is more to consider than “reduce, reuse, recycle”, and constantly assessing the sources, materials, and manufacturers of the items we chose to wear can be overwhelming. If you live in Prague, read this article further to learn about eco-friendly fashion stores you can purchase your clothes from. Thankfully, the growing awareness of the issues surrounding fashion prompted some brands...

The Czech 3D-printed floating house has been completed in České Budějovice. The entire structure, including the interior partitions, was printed in 22 hours and required a total of 17 tons of concrete mixture. The project called ‘Prvok’ comes with sustainable solutions such as a green roof and reduced costs and carbon emissions compared to a regular construction. PRVK is now going through a series of tests to ensure proper performance. “Despite minor issues caused by the weather, we managed to 3D-print the house successfully. It took us 22 hours in total and we needed 17 tons of custom-developed mixture. As the concrete will take 28 days to harden, we are completing the house, preparing the green roof, floors, all distributions, doors, windows, etc,” said sculptor and project leader Michal Trpák in a statement. The simple 43-square meter floor plan includes a living room with a kitchen, a bedroom, and a bathroom. “The house is intended as a leisure-time house to stand in the countryside, ideally for a couple or a small family,” added Trpak, who drew inspiration from 3D-printed housing projects in the Netherlands. The 3D-printed house is planned to float on the Vltava river in Prague this August.
The Invisible Exhibition is a unique interactive journey to an invisible world, where in total darkness you find your way out only by touch, sounds and scent. If you say that you can imagine how it is to be blind, you are kidding yourself. To be able to say that convincingly, you have to go to this exhibition. You will not see anything, you will only be able to feel, hear, or smell… And you will be thinking “well it is never that dark…” – yes, it is. You may not have yet experienced darkness as complete as you will here. Of course, you will not be alone — you will have your guide with you, and he won’t be able to see anything either, but he has been experiencing it his whole life. All the visitors obtain information exclusively through touch, hearing, scent and their sense of balance. This way, in the new situation caused by the loss of sight, and despite the difficulties, they can experience that the world can be still beautiful without this key sense. You will be going through the kitchen, crossing a busy street, walking through a forest and across a stream, visiting an...

Ryanair have announced two new routes to/from Prague Airport, starting from August, as part of its extended Summer 2020 schedule. Following its announcement earlier this week, Ryanair will now operate 23 routes from Prague, including new connections to Košice & Paphos (both with 2 weekly services). Situated along the island’s southwest coast, Paphos it’s a great base for exploring the rest of Cyprus thanks to its international airport and well-connected roadways, and it just so happens that the entire city has been declared a UNESCO Heritage Site which means there’s no shortage of ancient sites to explore. The Archaeological Site of Kato Pafos is within walking distance of the central tourist area of the city, and next to the Medieval Castle and the harbour. Pafos is a year-round destination, but temperatures vary significantly with the seasons. During the height of the summer, the average temperature during the day is about 33°C, while in winter it is about 15°C (60°F). Tickets for the route can already be purchased on the carrier’s website
