Oh-my-god-oh-my-god-oh-my-god! I saw my first all wild Eurasian eagle-owl! And he was so handsome! I’ve recently started the habit of taking a break and going outside for an hour every day so I don’t feel psychologically dead every evening, after a long day of staring at a laptop screen. And it is wonderful. Birding is…
Have you ever looked on the back of your bathroom cleaning agent and saw that little icon with the dead fish and naked tree on it? As a child I always felt horrible for the poor fish. What it means, is that the product you’re about to flush down your toilet and sink and shower…
It is still winter. That means lots of cuddly times with books, tea, knitting and podcasts for me. Well, trying to knit at least. But all that indoor activity and trying to ward off the cold means the air inside can get quite stale. I’ve recently noticed, how many people tip their windows for fresh…
It is January and, where I am, that means woolly socks and vitamin D supplements and only emerging from a cuddly warm corner when you absolutely need to. What better time than this to read all the books I stacked up in the times where I rather was outside. And here’s one that I absolutely…
Happy New Year!! Let it be a weird and wonderful year and most of all, let this year be big for the fight against climate change! 2020 we rise up! Also happy 1st of January everyone, it is time for another sustainability challenge. This one was actually requested by a friend of mine who loves…
Hello lovely people!I have a gift for you: a nice, home made, no cost gift idea for that person you forgot to get something for and now it just got stressful. A rejuvenating, coffee scented, gently moisturizing, exfoliating body scrub! All you need is any amount of used coffee grinds from this morning. I really…
Oh look! It’s another festive season! Its the season for panicked shopping and stress-relieve-decorating. Aaaaah consumerism! Let us bury ourselves in garbage! Yes, I have been called a Grinch before, but hear me out: I’m a fan of Greta Thunberg and in a recent interview I saw on the Ellen Show, I learned her top…
About a quarter of all our greenhouse gas emissions are accounted to forestry and agriculture. Modern agriculture is one of the big contributors to habitat loss and the resulting extinction of way too many species already. To make it worse, about a third (!) of the food produced globally is lost or wasted. That’s about…
On October 7th 2019, Extinction Rebellion set out to block London, Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, NYC and many other cities all over the planet. The goal is to put a stop to the climate catastrophe spiraling out of control. To call attention to the mass extinction, currently reaching dimensions far beyond the mass extinction that wiped…
At the risk of repeating myself, consumerism is bad for the planet. Which is why cutting down your consumption of things to what you actually NEED to be new, is a great way to love our mother earth better (I’m feeling very tree-huggy today). One thing we do not need to buy new, especially not…
