    Le soir lorsque nous récupérons notre fille chez la nounou, on lui demande toujours ce qu'elle veut faire. La réponse est toujours la même: balader sa chienne.
    Soit dans la forêt derrière chez nous soit dans les champs en face de la maison pour visiter les chevaux. A 2 ans et demi elle passe sa vie dehors, qu'il fasse beau ou qu'il pleuve et je suis heureuse qu'elle ait cette chance de grandir dans la nature !
    Ca c'était hier soir à 19h...

    I don't know if you are familiar with Team for the Planet, but its mission is to take action against climate change on a global scale.
    They fund innovative projects aimed at reducing greenhouse gases.
    Currently, Team for the Planet has financed 13 innovations that fight against GHG emissions, such as next-generation heat pumps offering improved energy efficiency, producing decarbonized energy from ocean waves, a solution for recycling mixed waste and creating substitutes for fossil-based materials, among others.
    They are partly funded through investments from shareholders like us.
    I am already a shareholder, but I’m planning to take advantage of Earth Month to increase my investment.

    It's true that during this Earth Month, I say that I exercise every day. Technically, I haven't been running for a few months, I’ve stopped doing yoga, and I don't go to the gym anymore.
    But being 8 months pregnant, I walk actively every day — and more importantly, I'm the slave of a little 2-and-a-half-year-old princess, which I consider a sport in itself. :p

    Petit passage au magasin vrac avant le week end,
    Saviez-vous que la loi prévoit que, d'ici 2030, les commerces de détail de plus de 400 m² consacrent au moins 20 % de leur surface de vente à des produits présentés sans emballage primaire, y compris la vente en vrac .​
    La vente en vrac en France est en phase de consolidation, soutenue par une réglementation favorable visant à réduire les déchets et à promouvoir une consommation plus responsable, à nous de jouer maintenant !

    This morning, I walked my dog at 6 a.m in the forest. I started the day with a wonderful show of the sunrise and the birds' songs. It's a true source of energy to start the day off right.
