Nature Care Challenge | November 2021: Let the Tea Loose!

Posted on November 1, 2021 by Malu

It is now cool and wet and dark and all I want to do is curl up with lots of blankets, read books and sip on tea. And that made me come up with this month’s, very simple challenge: This month, I challenge you to stop buying tea prepackaged in bags, switch to loose tea…

Posted on April 17, 2021October 18, 2021 by Malu

Its that time of the year where foraging is exciting even to those who don’t like the acquired taste of many wild plants: Wild garlic is popping up and I am spending my free time looking for it in the forest close to my home. Yesterday, I even bumped into a wild boar, who was…

Warming Winter Breakfast Oats

Posted on February 10, 2021October 18, 2021 by Malu

It snowed! It’s cold! And I decided to get back into the habit of having fruit for breakfast. There is not a lot of fruit in the middle of winter but thankfully the freezer is full of things from when the garden was full of food. I just made something with what I had, and…

11 Food-Blogs for Overwhelmed Vegan Beginners

Posted on January 16, 2021October 18, 2021 by Malu

Veganism saves the planet. Omitting animal products from your diet helps prevent loss of habitat, climate change, water pollution and animal cruelty. So the obvious thing to do is be as vegan as you can. But it can be so hard! Especially when you don’t have any inspiration on what to eat and you are…

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 | August 2020: That Thing About Packaging

Posted on August 1, 2020April 18, 2021 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…

Nature Care Challenge | July 2020: Zero Food Waste

Posted on July 1, 2020April 18, 2021 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…

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

Posted on June 1, 2020April 18, 2021 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…

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.
