Atlantic salmon becomes fish of the year 2019
Now, the endangered “Salmo Salar” has been named Fish of the Year 2019 by the German Fishing Association (DAFV), the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN) and the Association of German Scuba Divers (VDST). As a demanding migratory fish it has become increasingly difficult for him to keep up his hiking trails through rivers like […]
World largest protected area in the Amazon rainforest?
The Amazon is not known as “the lungs of the planet” with its half of the world’s species of plants and animals living in this region. Also about a million indigenous people live in that region.

Whale with 6kg plastic in the stomach
I just came across the article by Heike Vesper and am really disgusted. A whale has been found dead in a national park (!) With 6kg plastic (including 115 plastic cups, 25 plastic bags, a nylon sack and two flip-flops) in the stomach !!! It’s not a novelty, but it makes you sad again and […]
Environmentally friendly gift packaging

Pragmatic solution for plastic avoidance in the sea
I am really not a fan of washing in general…e.g. when you take a bath, you get wet! Really wet! I hate it! But well, the humans love to wear clothes and they can smell really bad after a time, so I am okay with washing them. Even though we know that its not particularly […]
Eco-friendly holidays in Ireland
Five eco-friendly places to stay in Ireland Ireland is a fantastic country. I visited it only once so far, but would love to return! Even though its hard to understand for me, the people are really welcoming…and the atmosphere in Pubs and Bistros in the cities as in the countryside is really something special. Especially […]
Environmental labels … which label means what exactly?
There are now so many labels and seals, it is really not easy to find out which label is actually the “right” or the “good” one. There is an article who tries to explain a few, but there are still some missing… In the future, we will try to create a label guide. Until then, […]
