Dare I say it? Is summer over? Is it time to go back to work? Well, in these times, who knows! Whatever the circumstances, getting to work on fixing the planet is never a bad way to spend your time. And this month’s challenge is VERY simple and so satisfying. This month, I challenge you…
Hello lovely people! This month, I have a challenge that is also still a challenge for me, rather than already a habit. This month I challenge you to buy only package-free! I find this hard. Especially after a long day at work it is much easier to stop at the supermarket on the way, rather…
Summertime! And the livin’ is easy… especially when you know a thing or two about wild herbs and foraging. I’m just cruising around stuffing my face with wild berries and leaves these days. So I had the idea to show you a few and give you a very simple recipe for a super tasty buttery…
An average western household throws away about 1/4 of the food they buy. Considering the carbon footprint, the land cleared to grow crops and the amount of people going to bed hungry in the world, 1/4 is simply not acceptable. This month I challenge you to cut your food waste to Zero. And here are…

Because everybody knows of the amount of unnecessary trash that comes with menstrual hygiene. I mean, plastic tampon applicators, double the size of the tampon and everything then wrapped individually in a plastic baggy? Are you kidding me? Now…
This month, I challenge you to try out Plogging. It’s just like regular jogging, or (power) walking, if that’s more your flavour, while simultaneously picking up the litter you pass by and disposing of it properly.
SAVE THE DATE: April 22nd, 2020 the world is celebrating the 50th annual Earth Day! Every year, the topic is a different one. Last year, it was all about saving our species. This year, and not unrelated, the theme is take climate action. We already are feeling the first effects of climate change: Excessive precipitation…
Hello friends! How are you doing in these crazy Corona-infested times? Are you #SocialDistancing and #FlattenTheCurve -ing? Is your life completely upside down or is it more like mine: hasn’t really changed at all and left me wondering if I’m an antisocial weirdo. I Shop Stopped a long time ago, so I didn’t notice when…
