    Ma jardinière en bois était bien abîmée après plusieurs années passées sur le balcon et exposée aux intempéries. Plutôt que de la jeter, j’ai préféré la réparer. J’ai découpé de nouvelles planches pour remplacer les plus endommagées. La voilà maintenant prête à accueillir de nouvelles plantes 🪴 😊👍

    J’utilise très souvent une application comme Yuka pour scanner mes aliments lorsque j’ai un doute.
    Quand je vois qu’un produit a une mauvaise note (proche de 0), ça m’aide à reposer le paquet et à chercher une alternative plus saine et équilibrée.

    Installed it two years ago and it’s still going strong! My rainwater container has been a simple but powerful way to save water. Small actions are always worth it! 😊

      Vraiment difficile. Gros sujet de discorde durant les repas de famille ! Sans demander a l’entourage de changer ses propres habitudes, il est parfois difficile de leur expliquer pourquoi j’essaye de changer les miennes, et qu’ils en entendent les raisons.

    Pour tous les trajets jusqu’à 2 ou 3 km, je choisis la marche à pied🚶‍♂️. C’est le plus simple pour moi. En marchant, je maîtrise totalement la durée de mon trajet ⏱️ 10 minutes par kilomètre, c’est régulier et sans surprise. Contrairement aux transports en commun ou aux modes partagés, je n’ai pas besoin d’attendre, de chercher un vélo, ou de sortir un équipement que je devrai garer ou recharger ensuite.

      Je comprends bien que ce n’est pas la même chose à la campagne, où les distances sont plus importantes, avec d’autres contraintes aussi, comme la gestion des enfants en bas âge, par exemple. Dans mon cas, les commodités sont facilement accessibles car je vis en milieu urbain.
      On met souvent en avant le vélo comme solution miracle pour les trajets de plus de 3 km. C’est vrai qu’il a ses avantages, mais il ne convient pas à tout le monde (et j’en fais partie pour mes trajets domicile-travail). Entre la voiture telle qu’on la connaît et le vélo, je pense qu’il y a une vraie place à prendre pour les micro-voitures. C’est une option qui m’intéresse particulièrement, mais l’offre actuelle reste très limitée et pas vraiment séduisante. J’espère qu’on verra bientôt des alternatives plus variées et accessibles dans ce domaine !

      C'est super ! Et c'est vrai qu'il y a une réelle maîtrise du timing. J'essaye aussi de le faire mais habitant à la campagne, les commodités sont minimum à 3km de chez moi, je dois vraiment anticiper car quand je suis prise par le temps je dois forcement prendre ma voiture pour pouvoir faire ce genre d'aller-retour...
