Posted on February 11, 2022February 11, 2022 by Malu

Its Valentine’s day very soon. And I’m not really a person who appreciates days that focus on “you have to buy stuff or else you’re doing it wrong” but I do very much enjoy making creative love notes for my special people. And now I came up with a nature inspired one. Make your own…

No-Kill Christmas Tree

Posted on December 12, 2021February 10, 2022 by Malu

My family asked me if I would come with them to choose a tree and I felt like a real Grinch saying I don’t want to participate in cutting down a whole tree just for decorating a living room for 2-4 weeks.But that’s how I felt. I love the pagan traditions of Christmas but watching…

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…

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.
