About this project

Lizzy from Schwere(s)Los! e.V. is responsible for this project
The campaign began in late summer 2020 with the coronavirus cards. Further crises and unsustainable conditions for people, animals and the environment are escalating in these months, some tragically, some unnoticed by the media public.

In this difficult time also presents us with the opportunity and the challenge to set the course towards a more dignified and peaceful life for people, animals and nature, animals and nature.

New motifs:

"How nice that you exist"
- a card that simply wants to bring a little joy. Be it pinned on the
pinned on the mirror or given to a loved one or even an unknown person.
as a gift.

"Just be": a reminder to find inner peace and a certain lightness even in turbulent circumstances.

Finally, a wordless motif: "Erdenmensch", the effect of which we leave entirely to the viewer :)

Of the earlier motifs are currently still available:

The motif "It is enough to be me"  wants to invite us to create moments in which we free ourselves from the pressure of constantly having to do something, be it out of necessity because because there seems to be no end to the demands or out of a feeling of inadequacy that prevents us from finding peace.

The "Tree of Life" motif poses the question: What makes a life worth living?

billions people worldwide are suffering from the consequences of these crises. At the same time ideas and concepts can be found in many niches that seek to make (human) life life on this planet in a dignified way without damaging the earth and its harming the earth and its diverse inhabitants, but on the contrary strengthen them. Everyone is important and can contribute in their own way! contribute! This is what the card "The more beautiful world that our heart knows is possible" (quote from C. Eisenstein) wants to express.


The available motifs (see gallery above in the header graphic) are distributed free of charge. Other motifs can also be ordered again if there is reprinted if there is sufficient demand and the printing costs are financed. 

The response to the cards has been very positive. So far, over 45,000 cards have been distributed and given away, some of them worldwide, e.g. to Great Britain, Ireland, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Japan, New Zealand, USA, Canada, Brazil and Peru.
