Planica, where the final of the Ski Jumping World Cup will be held again in 2015 (March 19-22), smells like a record again, so just take a look at the competition program, because the holiday under the Ponci is not to be missed. The March match returns to the Gorišek brothers' airfield, where in 2005 Björn Einar Romören landed at the then record 239 meters. For the past four years, the longest running brand has been owned by the Norwegian company Vikersund, which, like Planiška, is also owned by a Norwegian, Johan Remen Evensen.
Planica 2016 will take place from Thursday, March 17, 2016, when the qualifications will be held, until Sunday, March 20, 2016, when the curtain will fall on the 2015/16 season in ski jumping with an individual competition. The program will be very varied, and the Slovenian jumpers, led by Peter Prevec, with their exceptional performances, are the best possible invitation to Ponce, where a new sports holiday awaits us. Last year in Planica we saw three Slovenian victories and a heartbreaking playoff, and although it seems that this cannot be surpassed in terms of emotional charge, we can expect an unprecedented spectacle in 2016 as well. Tickets are already on sale.
Planica 2017 will take place from March 24 to 26, 2017. Last year, an extraordinary 111 thousand spectators gathered in Planica. For the third time, we were able to celebrate the overall victory of Slovenian jumpers in the World Cup. In 1997 and 1998, Primož Peterka finished under Ponci with a big crystal in his hands, and last year the incomparable Peter Prevc repeated this success with a dream season. In 2016, the Slovenians took all the victories from the valley under Poncami, and this year our ski jumpers will be among the favorites in both individual competitions, and we can also hope for a fight for the top in the team competition. Tickets are already on sale.

Plant-e has found a way to harness the energy of living plants. The project, which is called "Starry Sky", debuted in November last year near Amsterdam, where more than three hundred street lights in two different locations were lit using the energy of living plants. The energy of living plants is also used to power wireless internet and chargers for mobile phones.
It is no secret that we live on a planet that is barely breathing through its gills due to human actions. And what would humanity be without zealots who really care about the Earth and try to warn us that our "hands" have destructive consequences? Andreas Franke tackled this with the help of the Plastic ocean project.
Plastic reflection is an interactive kinetic installation by Thijs Biersteker that draws attention to the amount of waste that we humans create, much of which ends up in the oceans every year. The individual stands in front of the installation, which offers a reflection made of plastic particles instead of a classic reflection, thereby knocking on his conscience.
The Bank of England recently put a £5 note into circulation, which would be nothing special if it wasn't made of plastic. The advantage of money printed on polymer is that it is more durable and, among other things, withstands washing in a washing machine and burns only with difficulty. The British quickly discovered other functions of the new money. Due to its durability, it can serve not only as a means of payment, but also as a gramophone needle! Who is the better DJ? Elizabeth II. or Winston Churchill? Listen and rate!
Whether it's a small change in your everyday life or supporting projects that really strive to make a difference, you too can contribute to a world with less plastic.
