The Green Challenge - Städter in artgerechter Haltung

The Green Challenge - City dwellers in species-appropriate housing

Walking barefoot through damp grass, homegrown produce just an arm's length away, and while you breathe in the fresh air, a neighbor waves to you. No hustle and bustle, no appointments, far away from the noise and stench of the big city. That's more or less what it looks like. The romantic idea of life in the countryside. But does it correspond to reality? The comedy short film series "The Green Challenge - City Dwellers in Appropriate Housing" explores this question. We spoke with Annette, the brains behind the series.

Parents beware: These plants are poisonous to children

There's hardly anything more beautiful than when your children slowly discover the world. Especially the world beyond their own four walls – on the balcony, on the terrace, and in their own garden. But this environment harbors dangers: poisonous plants. Sure, the herbs you grow in your garden bed for your kitchen won't harm children either. Except maybe a little tummy ache if they're not used to chives, for example. The real dangers lurk with ornamental plants. This starts right in the home, by the way.

Sometimes it's just time for a change, and your raised bed is ready to move. But how do you get that devilishly heavy thing to the other side of your garden? That's right, you need a raised bed on wheels!

Build a seesaw from old tires

Bring the children's playground into your home. With just a few materials, you can build a great seesaw in a few easy steps. If the kids know something is being built especially for them, they'll definitely be happy to lend a hand. Hand over a screwdriver, hold the squared timbers—you'll always find something that makes them feel involved in the construction.

Build a barbecue side table from wooden crates

No summer is complete without a barbecue with friends. But where do you put all those salads, bread, sauces, and especially that beer supply? How convenient that you have a rolling side table handy. Don't you? Get to work!

Make your own tree trunk garden light

With effective lighting, you can skillfully set the scene for your garden or balcony. A natural tree trunk serves as your bridge to nature. Admittedly, this DIY project isn't for the faint-hearted, but with patience and a good dose of spit, you too can create light!
