 Summer 2024

Task taken on and completed:

This summer I went to Rome by train instead of taking the plane. And what was nice is that with Lola, it was a given to not take the plane. We were happy to have the same way of thinking about our travel.

 February 2024

Task taken on:

I was in Baie de Somme at the beginning of the month and during the low tide, my girlfriend and I decided to pick up the all of the rubbish we found!

Completed?

Yes!

 January 2024

Task taken on:

For this month, Lola and I will choose a very difficult task : to avoid the more than 6 minutes shower per day. We should have done that in spring maybe, but less hot water

Completed?

It went well! But sometimes hard, especially after bicycle under parisien rains…. 😅

But even if sometimes I had a longer shower, I always had in mind to pay attention, and so I think this was good

 March 2023

Task taken on:

I'd like to speak a lot about the new Giec report. To talk to everyone and to manifest. And use my social medias to share the information.

Completed?

And March goes well, but I saw that on my social media, lots of my friends already agree with me... It is more difficult to talk about Giec report to people that don't give attention to that...

 February 2023

Task taken on:

Change my bank account to a “green” bank (meaning it has strict policies on making sure its actions are helping rather than harming the environment).

Completed?

I opened my new bank account but I still not have close the previous one... I will do it as soon as possible (administratives problems which can take time....)

 January 2023

Task taken on:

My task for this month is to know the name of 1 plant a week.

Completed?

Done, and very interesting! The exercice was for me to name 1 plant per week that is in my country and that I see every day but I never know the name! Like to recognize Frêne from Chêne

 December 2022

Task taken on:

Eating vegetarian for the whole month!

Completed?

During this month, it was really easy to be vegetarian. I will continue without any problem. Just once, a rainy day after biking for 10 km, I enter in a shop and just see French “saucisson”. I would have love to bite it. But I didn’t :)
