Wild Herb Butter

Posted on July 19, 2020July 19, 2020 by Malu

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…

Monthly Nature Care Challenge | July 2020: Zero Food Waste

Posted on July 1, 2020 by Malu

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…

Great News for Pangolins!!!

Posted on June 17, 2020June 17, 2020 by Malu

I just got the best news on my e-mail feed! China has taken pangolin scales off their list of approved ingredients for traditional medicine. I love pangolins! They are right up there in my top 3 favourite weirdos. They are little termite eating creatures covered in scales from head to toe, with long sticky tongues…

Monthly Nature Care Challenge | June 2020: Never Buy Bottled Water Ever Again.

Posted on June 1, 2020June 1, 2020 by Malu

Guys, lets just cut the excuses. There is no reason to buy bottled water. The world currently produces approximately 1 million plastic bottles per minute. Only a fraction ever make it into recycling and to make it worse, recycling is mostly a myth. You see, while plastic can be recycled, it can never be recycled…

DIY Menstrual Pads

Posted on May 28, 2020May 28, 2020 by Malu

Happy menstrual hygiene day! What a perfect opportunity to write a post on my nature-loving-lifestyle blog. 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…

Posted on May 1, 2020June 16, 2020 by Malu

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.

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…

Eurasian Eagle-Owl (Bubo bubo)

Posted on March 16, 2020 by Malu

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…

Monthly Nature Care Challenge | March 2020: Chem-Free Cleaning

Posted on March 1, 2020May 1, 2020 by Malu

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…

About me

My name is Malu. I am a conservation-ecologist currently living in Germany. I’ve always been wild about the outdoors and can spend hours looking at an insect labouring away at its daily challenges, or a bird building its nest, or … there’s just so much amazing stuff happening out there! I’m really glad you’ve made it onto this page so I can share my joy with you.

Monthly Challenges

We only have about 6 to 8 years left to turn this environmental mess of a ship around. So much has to happen politically, but the people also need to change habits and start to appreciate our environment more. So every 1st of the month I post a monthly sustainability challenge for you to try for 30 days and if you like, adopt beyond the month.

The challenges  make up the major part in the flow of blog posts here, so they are easy to find. But if you want to get a good overview of the challenges set so far, simply follow the link below.
