It’s a new year folks! Time to make big commitments again! This month, or actually, its January. Lets make this a new YEAR’s resolution. Because this one will take a while to get into. I don’t think a month is enough time to do it all and decide if you want and can stick with…

Nature Care Challenge | December 2020: Conscious Gifts
Its festive season! This means excited cookie baking and decorating and gleefully embracing the music you would never listen to for the other 11 months of the year. And it means stressed gift shopping. Each year we buy gifts for the people we care about. However, it is often hard to find the perfect gift….
Nature Care Challenge | November 2020: Lending and not Buying
Hello lovely people!It is time for another Nature Care Challenge. One of the best ways to preserve nature, is to limit our consumption of stuff. Since we learned about Shop Stop already, where we ask ourselves whether we really need something pre-purchase, I think we can take it a step further: What if we do…
Nature Care Challenge | October 2020: Get Political
Ugh! I had a technical fail and never realized this Post didn’t upload when I told it to, just before hastily closing my laptop. So this one is a little belated. But on the plus side, now I can add pictures of my latest protest adventures during a pandemic. Times are crazy and the destruction…
Nature Care Challenge | September 2020: Surf and Plant Trees with Ecosia

Nature Care Challenge | August 2020: That Thing About Packaging
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…
Wild Herb Butter
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…
Nature Care Challenge | July 2020: Zero Food Waste
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!!!
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…
Nature Care Challenge | June 2020: Never Buy Bottled Water Ever Again.
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…
