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, 2020September 18, 2021 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.

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…

Nature Care Challenge | March 2020: Chem-Free Cleaning

Posted on March 1, 2020April 18, 2021 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…

Nature Care Challenge | February 2020: Stoßlüften

Posted on February 1, 2020April 18, 2021 by Malu

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…

Reading for Nature: My Book Report on Alan Weisman’s “The World Without Us”

Posted on January 30, 2020 by Malu

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…

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 nature care challenge with environmentally friendly lifestyle choices of habits for you to try for 30 days and, if you like, let it stick with you for longer, maybe even for life.

Lots of little droplets make up the largest ocean.

Are you absolutely unable to do the current challenge? Or maybe you are underwhelmed with the challenge and want an extra one? Check out the previous challenges to see if there is something you would like to try.

The challenges  make up the major part in the flow of 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.

Do you want to set next month’s sustainability challenge?

Contact me and pitch your challenge to me. It might be up next month. You can either write the whole challenge, and why we should do it, or just give me an idea for something to look into.
