d out during regular safety inspections during the year. RADON In order to assure the quality of our properties we conducted additional radon measurements in spring 2012. Th ey have been carried out with the trace fi lm for 2-3 months. A few raised levels were noted, and will be included in the action plan for radon. GREEN MIMER Green Mimer – a collaboration between our tenants, our housing representatives and our head gardener - is now in its ninth year. Th e idea is to increase tenant satisfaction through their own commitment to the outdoor environment. Th e projects vary in size - from pot planting to larger activities - where tenants are responsible for ideas and input while Mimer covers the fi nancial costs and off ers good advice. Among this year’s new major projects include Jakobsbergsgatan 41, where almost the entire property is ‘green developed’ and where virtually all tenants are involved. To increase the tenant’s garden knowledge and dedication we have even this year provided various courses and activities. We have made two pleasant fi eld trips, study visits and held three courses and two lectures. As usual, we use the very best in the gardening world URBAN CULTIVATION During the year, we worked with the Adult Education School and started the Network for urban cultivation. Th e goal is to increase awareness of the ‘greens’ importance to our quality of life and increase cultivation within the city. We have also initiated collaboration with Th e Vasteras Garden Society. ! All Mimer’s company cars are ‘green cars’. We think that is great! Did you... ...know that Mimer tenants collected more than 250 liters of food fats over six months, which was converted into biogas in Västerås Bio Power Plant?
