  • Recycling and FSC

    The abbreviation FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council. The FSC is a council that wants to promote more responsible management of forests worldwide. It was founded in 1993 by environmental organizations such as WWF, trade unions, the timber industry, indigenous peoples and forest owners. So all groups that have an interest in the forest. The FSC consists of three chambers, the social, environmental and economic chambers. The chambers have equal voting rights.

  • Environmentally friendly grilling

    🕯 Instead of using charcoal from overexploitation of tropical forests, we recommend that you pay attention to the seal of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) when buying charcoal. The FSC seal is the only international certificate that guarantees that all raw materials come from sustainable forest management. FSC charcoal is available in many hardware stores, supermarkets and petrol stations. And it doesn't harm your wallet: The eco-coal is no more expensive than products without a sustainability guarantee.

Household and health

  • Water - a precious commodity

    💦 When shopping, make sure to buy environmentally friendly and certified products: Products that have been awarded the Naturland or Blue Angel label help to protect bodies of water, soil and species.

  • Cook and bake

    🥕 Always use a pot lid when cooking. You use up to 65 percent less electricity or gas, as the heat can escape faster without a lid.
