Together…?
What effects do crises have? More egoism? Solidarity? Razorblades on your elbows? Probably all of the above. But we are certain, that in times like these, togetherness is crucial to address the challenges. And that is why we want to inspire you: With stories of people, who are successful because they are working with appreciation and respect for people and nature.
With ideas and products, that use resources mindfully. With background information on Fairtrade and work at eye level. And by being optimistic that if we stick together, we will “make it work somehow”. Certainly.
Our biggest asset: Confidence.
New year – new luck? Definitely. Optimism and confidence are our best and most important resources – that is at least what we at Mount Hagen believe. Here, you can read why we think that and what can be achieved by it.
One of the hottest recipes ever: Berry-Coffee-Smoothie. So tasty.
A remarkable combo: Berries and Coffee. As a slightly frozen smoothie. Especially now, a very welcome and refreshing wake-up call. Try for yourself, the recipe is really easy.
Saving trees?
Spending a relaxed summer day under trees – beautiful. But these trees need a huge amount of water, especially now. We have discovered a very practical watering system, that does not only help city administrations to reduce the consequences of the climate change for chestnut trees and the like, it also saves time – and money.
Using the sun for more independence.
It does not have to be the huge photovoltaic system up on the roof.
In this article, we tell you how to turn your balcony into a mini energy supplier and thus, to become a little more independent of the craziness of the energy markets (and the energy giant in the east) using a 22 sqft solar system.
Biodiversity? Who cares?
Did you know that already in 1988, the UN urgently recommended to tackle the topic biodiversity? And today, only 30 years later, it slooooowly arrives in economic enterprises and their sustainability strategies. Which is good. But insufficient. What can we do about it?
About the courage to use a washcloth.
Together we are stronger – that is no news. But what is actually surprising are the amounts of energy and CO2 we could save if all of us would for example change some of our habits for just one day. Here are some sample calculations…
What is a Wiener Melange?
Just in time for the holiday season we have some coffee know-how for you, to make sure that you do not get confused when you are travelling. Here, the specialty coffee from Austria.
Bye bye fast fashion.
Hello needle and thread. Mending things instead of throwing them away. A motto that is actually quite easy when it comes to clothes and a nice and effective way for reaching a greener lifestyle. And sometimes it even results in real art pieces.
A real veggie-miracle.
This vegan espresso tart is so terribly delicious, that we do no longer want to keep the recipe from you. You must try it.
That’s amazing…
Because courage also needs motivation, you will occasionally (and hopefully more often) find good news about environmental protection and similar topics here.
A courageous idea: Conflictfood.
There are many types of sustainable consumption. This one here – conflictfood – is especially worthwhile. The company fights the causes that force people to flee from their home countries and establishes “peaceful perspectives”. In this article we explain how that works.
Simply epic.
How waking up to a cup of our Arabica feels like. And why we are glad that we are not everybody’s darling.
The second life of bread.
Don’t throw it away: There is more you can do with dry bread before feeding it to the ducks. Like using it to make French toast. A delicious way of recycling.
