Ilmastoviisas Salo

Ilmastoviisas Salo is a community organisation based in Salo, Finland working on environment & climate, nature & wildlife conservation.

Ilmastoviisas Salo is a volunteer-run citizen group in Salo, Finland, founded in 2017 as part of the Hiilivapaa Suomi campaign. It works on climate change mitigation and biodiversity loss. Its activities include public webinars and discussion evenings on reducing emissions, participation in Fridays for Future climate strikes, and advocacy to city and parish decision-makers. It has also campaigned against a proposed solar power plant on the Melassuo peatland in Pertteli, Perniö, calling for the bog to be preserved as a nature area. The group also promotes practical options such as gas conversion of cars and renewable heating.
