Sustainability in daily life - taste the waste

I just made apple puree out of squashy apples. With a hint of cinnamon... taste the waste! It's rather tasty. Well it was not waste yet, but I didn't want to eat the apples anymore, so in the end I would have thrown them away. Sustainable consumption often means that you're faced with a cognitive dilemma. In this case: throw the apples away, hang around and watch a movie or find a solution for the apples and act sustainable?!
It's all about habits and laziness.

But it feels great to change habits.

City life or country life?

Usually you can't choose where to stay. But what if you were really free to decide where to live, would you opt for the city or the country life?
Well, after having enjoyed sleeping in a site trailer for almost two weeks I'm in love with the chirping of crickets, the sky full of brights stars, fresh air, great fruit trees and the dew on the grass in the mornings... Going back to the city definitely means waking up from niced dreams!

How I became an urban farmer!

My first own garden salad!

Our field of 40 square metres

Since spring 2016 I've joined an urban farming project called "Ackerhelden". Together with two friends who told me about the project I rented a piece of land. We grow potatoes, kohlrabi, salad, pumkin, tomatoes, spinach and much more. In short, urban farming or urban gardening is the practice of cultivating, processing and distributing food in or around a village, town, or city.

Why do I make the effort to plant my own vegetables instead of buying them only in the supermarket? Our modern agricultural production systems function at the expense of human beings and the environment. Meanwhile many people are talking about climate change and sustainability. But too few are willing to change their habits and their way of life. I think it's not only about producing words but also action! At least we could try a little bit more. 

A walk through Lublin

Fancy toilet in Lublin

What happens if you get off the bus after a four-hour ride from Kraków to Lublin? You go to a fancy toilet of a rather shabby bus station. Catholic Poland is full of surprises! ;)

Russia on the map of the world
