Gardens and Balconies

Nature tips for your own home

Gardens and balconies are places to take time out from your everyday life, where you can get lost in your own dreams in a sea of flowers or amongst the wildlife – many people nowadays are under the illusion that truly relaxing and enjoying nature is only possible on holiday but you could have this idyllic scene in your garden as soon as tomorrow. NABU will give you all the reasons for having a nature-friendly garden and give you tips on how to make your garden just like nature intended. More in German

Whether the building you live in is old or new, if you’re planning some building work there are many things you can do to help the environment and to look after your own health. We would like to give you some tips on building with wood, environmentally friendly insulation, saving energy in the home e.g. with energy-saving appliances, roof and indoor planting and on making your office environmentally friendly.

Eating and Drinking

Recipes from nature itself

For decades now organic food has had a reputation of being tasteless and bland, but there is now a new generation of consumers with open minds, free from the misconceptions of the past. Organic products have since been able to capture a wide market. NABU is offering you some recipes and tips for you to try out at home. More in German

Green Energy

Get energy the natural way

By saving energy, we can save the future – that’s one of our goals at NABU. Our members have been committed to having a sustainable supply of energy for a long time because they know that the changeover of energy supply in Germany to renewable energy isn’t a far off dream or an unachievable utopia – it can and must be made into a reality and reinforced by our own actions! It is in every consumer’s power to opt out of wasting fossil fuels and the risk of nuclear energy and to choose a clean, green, renewable source of energy instead. More in German
