One task a month

  • Probably Dresden as it’s the city where I have been the most often in the last few years.

  • Saxon Switzerland mountains ! One of the most incredible spaces I have been to.

  • Cactuses, Rabbits and Weeping Willows

  • Like many other musicians I travel quite often and I am always facing the contradiction between that way of living and my natural tendencies ( the first thing I do every morning is to find a natural space to exercise and I love nature/outdoors in general ). I believe that even small individual gestures count, especially to spread more eco-friendly actions.

Summer 2024

Task taken on and completed:

Definitely tried as much as possible to limit the holiday plane travel so I managed to stay rather local (Prague/Dresden mostly) and take only trains. During the season it’s not always so easy between Germany and the UK but it was nice to do that, and I will definitely keep that going as much as possible for most holidays.

April 2024

Task taken on:

Avoid 1 fruit or vegetable per week that is not in season (and buy something in-season instead). Search online to find out what is in season around you this month.

Completed?

March 2024

Task taken on:

Substitute one meal a week which would normally include meat with a plant-based protein (e.g., lentils, chickpeas, tofu, quinoa).

Completed?

Was a bit hard the first 2 weeks (probably more on a psychological level than physiological one as I am always afraid not to eat enough ..? ) but I did discover that with beans lentils and tofu it was actually more than enough and I am gonna apply that to more meals.
