Refined law: Everyman’s Right to Camping

The Finnish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry announces a new law called “Everyman’s Right to Camping”.

The traditional Finnish legal concept of everyman’s right allows free right of access to the land and waterways. Now the law has been extended to include a right to free camping. The camping is 100 % free as long as you rent a tent from the Ministry.

The legal minimum distance between the tent and any building is 10 meters in urban and natural environments alike.

The tents vary between luxury tents with ecological wind energy, sauna and indoor toilet and very simple basic tents.

All tents are equipped with GPS tracking to guarantee security for the campers. When renting a tent you can get 10% reduction of fishing permit fees and 15% reduction of entrance fees to Sami museum.

Only 175€ per week [basic tent]. The new law comes into force in January 2013.

World Design Capital 2012 committee demands that the blue shade in the Finnish flag must be altered.

“The finnish flag does not stand out from the other white-blue flags, like the one of Greece”, claims the head of committee Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo.

The new blue will be slightly darker.

The RGB code of the blue has been #18447e (24, 68, 126), the new one will be #18448e (32, 73, 134)

“Orange is the colour of choice for Canadians and a slightly lighter orange for Dubliners.” (the Guardian, 17.8.12) Also pink, pea-green and turquoise will be modish in winter.

Pussy Riot created a fashion in colours and a certain commando-partisan-resistance fighter style.

“The fresh mix of folkore designs combined with individual bright coloured balaclavas bring a flavour of danger and delicacy. This will be tomorrows trend”, comments fashion expert Jaakko Selin.
