Thomas Vonmetz:

Thomas is probably best known to many as a radio presenter. However, his true passion lies in telling stories. One day, he discovered the concept of permaculture – a system that he has since successfully implemented alongside his main occupation.
On his farm, Thomas consciously avoids using machinery and instead relies on the help of animals. In return, the animals receive freshly harvested feed directly from the fields. For example, Thomas uses pigs to naturally till his fields and prepare the soil.
In addition to permaculture, he also keeps several beehives. He financed both projects entirely himself, but now his old car has broken down.

The funded project

“Our old car broke down, and given our vision, buying a combustion engine vehicle was simply not an option for us. Thanks to Ethical Banking, we were able to afford an electric car”, says Thomas.

“Ethical Banking is an innovative project that is important for the future and closely connected to the principles of permaculture. It combines economic, ecological and social aspects.”
