Nature is an endless source of inspiration for artists. With works of art, you can take a stand on the events of the world around you and describe the phenomena of your own time. With art, you can also speak for nature and express your own feelings (e.g. joy, peace, sadness, anxiety). Environmental art is art made in the built […]

Springtime = balcony time – how my balcony helps the bees and the environment
Bee hotel, done by AnneMarie Ohnoutka, 2024 As I do every spring, I’m going to “winterise” my balcony. I remove the brown, annual plants in the flowerpots from the previous year and replace them with fresh, flowering ones. When buying plants, I make sure that the flowers are suitable as food for bees. As pollinators, they ensure the propagation and […]

EARTH HOUR – One hour for the climate and the planet
This year I’m joining in and turning off the lights from 20:30 – 21:30. This hour is a statement for the earth and climate protection. This is important to me and an hour spend with the family and good conversation is a small action that makes us feel good and is visible. I registered with WWF Germany’s Hour Bank and […]

A great thought, because last Friday it was that time again: weekend grocery shopping. Admittedly, this is always a question of time and so the route usually leads to the supermarket round the corner. The shopping trolley is quickly filled and then it’s time to unpack and store at home. These are always the moments when I start thinking about […]

At the beginning of the visits, the flea market owners present their operations and the principles by which their company operates. At the KannusKulma flea market, customers can […]
How do holidays and sustainability go together?
Every year a highlight for many of us: the long-awaited holiday season. We have made our plans months ago and discussed questions such as “nature or city, mountains or lake, active holidays or being really lazy, flying, travelling by train, car – or perhaps staying at home altogether”? For us, it’s going by car and ferry to an island. But […]
