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 | November 2019: Share Food

Posted on November 1, 2019April 18, 2021 by Malu

About a quarter of all our greenhouse gas emissions are accounted to forestry and agriculture. Modern agriculture is one of the big contributors to habitat loss and the resulting extinction of way too many species already.

Home Made Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Posted on July 5, 2019April 18, 2021 by Malu

We’re having a heatwave at the moment. The kind where you wake up early, have a siesta and work at night. My terrace has a pebble-floor that gets so hot in the sun, I can only stand on them barefoot for a few seconds. Perfect conditions to dry some food! Who would have imagined, in…

Everything I Know About Containering

Posted on February 8, 2019April 7, 2020 by Malu

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.
