This week, we’re switching to compost! Composting means reducing your waste by an average of 30%, taking out the bin less often and giving back to the earth what is supposed to be there. Compost is an excellent contribution to the garden, as is the “tea” produced by earthworms.

The end of March is here, and we all want to get away for a while. Holidays are one of the most important pollution items, especially in rich countries like Luxembourg.
Challenge № 4 March
Since the beginning of the month, we’ve been suggesting that you abandon the car for more gentle and/or shared mobility. Our aim has not escaped you: to encourage you to discover your neighbourhood, even if it means getting a bit lost sometimes. What did you discover? A bit of sad grass, a little corner to read, a passage that lacks flowers, a wall that is sad in its whiteness?
Challenge № 3 March
At the beginning of the month, we suggested that you opt for green transport. This week, we’re taking it to the next level: no car for a week!
Challenge № 2 March
March is the time to prepare your seedlings so that you can take over your neighbourhood with plants in a few weeks time.

Do you know anything about fake news? No, not a yelling orange man! I’m talking about information that spreads faster than the light, and which is often completely false.
Challenge № 4 January
This week, we turn to others: take a look at what you know how to do and what you would like to make available to others. It can be a skill (DIY, computer, cooking, …), a language, a little time at your disposal…
Challenge № 3 January
Minimalism is not just reducing the number of possessions: it is reconsidering everything that is present in our lives and reflecting on the place we give it.
Challenge № 2 January
Have you ever heard of mental load? This notion, which first appeared in the 1980s and regained popularity a few years ago, refers to the constant and unavoidable work of managing, organising and planning the smooth running of the home.
Challenge № 1 January
Phew, a new year is beginning. In January, we are in the bedroom, a quiet place where we take care of ourselves.
Challenge № 4 December
Does the impact of digital technology mean anything to you? Statistics have been coming out one after the other for a few years now and they are quite chilling.

Have you ever wanted to make yourself a raclette and ended up buying a machine that now sleeps in your cupboard as you rarely use it? Have you ever needed a drill to install a single shelf in your home? Why not share all these items?
Challenge № 2 November
It’s starting to get quite cold in the houses, don’t you think? But for the health of humans and the planet, you shouldn’t heat too much!
Challenge № 1 November
Have you heard of programmed obsolescence? It’s what makes your printer designed to print X pages and not one more, your phone doesn’t work after two years, and your washing machine will never last as long as the one your grandparents had.
Challenge № 4 October
Do you know the overflowing bin in the kitchen that needs to be changed all the time? The one that smells bad and fills up like magic? This week, we’re tackling that bin.
