Volunteering in the red cross: sustainability, community and joy at work!
Augsburg, Deutschland - Doris Fehr, a committed volunteer in the Red Cross Lädle Augsburg, emphasizes the importance of sustainable action by second-hand fashion. In 2020, the former deputy headmistress of a vocational school wanted to work actively for society and found her place at a social meeting point where people come together from a wide variety of cultures. "My commitment has changed my purchase and consumption behavior a lot," she explains, while talking about the challenges that the BRK shops face, including criticism of the prices. Despite inquiries about discounts for the needy, she sees pricing as fair because it has remained unchanged for years and promotes transparency. A monthly price offer also helps to promote the goods rotation beyond the limits of the need, reports the Augsburger Allgemeine .
The interaction of circular symbolism and sustainability
Interestingly, the symbolism of the circle, which in many cultures has a deeper meaning in parallels to Doris' work. The circle not only stands for perfection and unity, but also symbolizes the cyclical nature of life and the importance of recycling. Like Magic-Magie , the circle represents the idea of wholeness what is in connection with the idea of sustainability in philosophy and spiritual practice. The life cycle, which is characterized by circulars within nature, is reflected in the second-hand trade, where wasteful consumption patterns are questioned and the reuse is in the foreground.petitions that have been started in the BRK Lädle show the endeavor to integrate both social responsibility and the spiritual meaning of circles in daily practice. Fehr encourages the community to deal with their resources more consciously and to promote the exchange between different social classes. Their work and the symbolism of the circle are thus in a strong connection that strengthens awareness of sustainability and community action.
