"You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."

Buckminster Fuller, philosopher, futurist and global thinker (1895 - 1983)

"Then I say the Earth belongs to each generation during its course, fully and in its right no generation can contract debts greater than may be paid during the course of its existence"

Thomas Jefferson, September 6, 1789

Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."

Getting around

KVB is the local mobility company with many available lines and ticket options. The tram is the best way to get around the city besides walking. You can purchase tickets on the tram or at the stations, for all of Cologne simply select price category 1b on the ticket machine of the stop or in the KVB vehicle and pay with coins or card. A one-way ticket in a single zone will cost you 3 EUR, while a one-day Cologne pass gives you free transportation and costs 9 EUR (and also offers other benefits).
