The plug of my vacuum cleaner broke! I couldn‘t do the repair, but I went to a repaircafé and they fixed it. They do not charge their work, which is incredible. These guys do a good job, repairing things from strangers every month!

Nourishing Food Forest-Friendly Foods

How did you figure out ways to remove foods that are not forest-friendly?

Susanne Neßhöver 10/21/2022 3:05 AM

I watched the film „the green lie“, which is about companies that intend to be sustainable, but they are not. I start to read the labels of products before buying. Takes a lot of time, but then I can choose the ones, that have a better footprint on earth.👍

What are the implications for a culture that spends most of its time inside and on screens?

Susanne Neßhöver 10/16/2022 6:55 AM

Lazy life? It seems to be easier to get entertained. But in my opinion, staying inside means, you meet less other people, this leads to suspicion and having fear of others. Looking on screens detect people of real life.

Susanne Neßhöver 10/11/2022 10:42 AM

I already compost a few years, and use it to raise my own vegetables. My trash bin is never full until the day, they come to pic it up, so I startet to throw away odd things (not good enough for selling or donating). So I empty the house..

I love taking showers, the feeling of warm water embracing me like a blanket. But we all have learn to change habits, so I will turn off the water when taking action on soap an shampoo. The feeling to turn it on again to get rid of the bubbles must be nice, too.
