Nature Care Challenge | December 2021: Recycle Your Phone

Posted on December 1, 2021February 1, 2022 by Malu

Take a look in that junk drawer of yours. Any old phones in there? If you are an average westerner, chances are, there are about 4 such devices in there. You might still have that old indestructible one from the late 90’s, and it still works! There might be the smartphone with the broken screen,…

Nature Care Challenge | December 2020: Conscious Gifts

Posted on December 1, 2020October 18, 2021 by Malu

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….

Posted on November 1, 2020October 18, 2021 by Malu

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.

Nature Care Challenge | October 2020: Get Political

Posted on October 10, 2020October 18, 2021 by Malu

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 | 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. To make it worse, about a third (!) of the food produced globally is lost or wasted. That’s about…

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.
