Monthly Nature Care Challenge | August 2020: That Thing About Packaging

Posted on August 1, 2020August 16, 2020 by Malu

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…

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…

Monthly Nature Care Challenge | May 2020: Plogging

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.

Monthly Sustainability Challenge | July 2019: Refuse Single-Use Utensils

Posted on July 1, 2019March 1, 2020 by Malu

You already might be a pro sustainable take-away-hot-bevarage-drinker by now, but what about everything else? This month I challenge you to refuse all SINGLE USE forks, spoons, knives, chop sticks, straws and water bottles. Instead, have a look for easy, pop-in-your-bag alternatives that you can carry with you and whip out whenever you need them…

Monthly Sustainability Challenge | March 2019: Sustainable Drinking on the Go

Posted on March 1, 2019June 1, 2020 by Malu

This month, I challenge you to do something that you possibly already do: Use a keep cup. Keep cups are replacements for the single-use to-go cups made from waxed paper or plastic. Keep cups have become more and more fashionable lately and you can get them made from bio plastic (not recommended for any beverage…

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.
