As part of our Reduce a Ton! carbon emissions reducing campaign the University of Helsinki challenged the associate Helsinki city manager Pekka Sauri to share his seasonal vegetarian recipe. We have now reached the goal of vowing among students to reduce more than 400 000 kg of carbon emissions and it is time to cook!
By using Sauri’s recipe, UH and HYY are organizing a restaurant – Green Cafe – for a day on the next Restaurant day. All profit will be donated to HYY development cooperation projects.
On the menu: Mushrooms with barley and oven-cooked root vegetables, vegan crêpes, coffee and tea. The venue: Uusi ylioppilastalo at Mannerheimintie 5 A.
