October 2023
Task taken on:
For october I’d like to look for alternatives for a more planet friendly bank.
Completed:
In October I wanted to check for a more eco friendly bank. This task took me a bit long. First the researching and then the decision to switch bank, because well it’s an important theme. So in November I found Bunq, a digital bank from Netherlands, and then in December I opened my account. To open the account it’s very fast and you can do everything online. The fonds are protected by the dutch deposit guarantee. It’s great that they invest in eco friendly companies and projects, I can track my CO2 footprint based on my expenses and I can also for example plant trees to compensate it. And there is also a great offer for savings accounts for new clients :)

Task taken on:
For September I would like to spend more time in the nature 🌿

February 2023
Task taken on:
For February I will tell 2 musicians about Harmonic Progression and the 1 task a month challenge.

January 2023
Task taken on:
For January I’m going to continue with Ecosia, and I want to try to buy my groceries in a bio grocery store.

Yes, I could achieve my goal, I have my first tree with ecosia 🎉
And I went to Denns BioMarkt, I liked it very much! They have many options, vegetables are very fresh, and they have also different discounts in the week.
Here it is: Denns BioMarkt
December 2022
Task taken on:
I will take on the same take that I took on in November (buying from the local producers market), and I will also use the search engine Ecosia
Completed?
So I managed to visit the local market and I love it, I bought vegetables and fruits and they were delicious and fresh. I’m in Karlsruhe and for those living here, I totally recommend it, there’s also bread, cheese and meat, all bio and from local producers. It takes place in the Waldstraße 40B, in front of the Post Galerie, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 7:30 until 14:00.
My other task was to start using ecosia search engine and I’m very close to plant my first tree :)
November 2022
Task taken on:
I will try to buy vegetables in a local market
Completed?
My idea to buy in the local producers market was very difficult, because it works only two days in the week and I had to travel a lot, so I wasn’t able to do it. But I bought regional products in the supermarket, when it was possible, for example eggs, milk, and various vegetables.
October 2022
Task taken on:
Use stairs instead of elevators in the places where I work and in the building where I live.
It seems like a simple thing to do, but I realized that I always use the elevator, so I figured it's something I can avoid and get a little more exercise xD
Completed?
I managed to accomplish the task 😃
It wasn’t always easy, especially when I arrived home from a very long day and I was tired or when I came back with groceries, but in those moments I thought: it will take just a few minutes and you’re doing something good for the environment, that kept me motivated.
So I think it will be part of my rutine now, also I do a bit more exercise 😄
