Sustainable living - more than just high-quality food

With a growing awareness of organic quality and the sustainable selection of all types of food, we at Keimling Naturkost are making an indispensable contribution. Many of our customers want to live out their ecological commitment beyond a conscious diet and carry the sustainable spirit into other areas of life. Our article provides some inspiration - from contemporary home furnishings to sustainable building.

Sustainability and its facets in everyday life

Those who consciously buy and eat sustainable food are doing something good for themselves and the environment. The key to sustainability does not lie in the purchase alone. The intention can be continued, especially when preparing hot meals. This applies to electrical appliances for processing, which use low temperatures or slow speeds in blenders and food processors to maintain a large number of the high-quality ingredients.

Operating these appliances requires electricity, which can also come from purely sustainable sources. The installation and promotion of photovoltaic systems has become affordable for almost every household in recent years. This applies explicitly to mini power plants that can be installed on the balcony at home and are therefore also of interest to tenants.

If it is not possible to set up such a system, it is possible to fulfil one's preferences when choosing an electricity provider. Here it is important to look out for "genuine green tariffs", which can be found primarily with smaller electricity companies. With many tariffs, a large proportion of green electricity from the major providers comes from combined heat and power generation, which does not correspond to the classic concept of "green electricity".

Acting sustainably when building your own property

It doesn't have to be just about modern energy technology such as a photovoltaic system or a heat pump. If you want to build your dream home sustainably, specialised construction partners can provide you with the ideal suggestions.

Forward-looking and sustainable house building can be realised in all dimensions, from small bungalows to urban villas. Sustainable house builders, who adhere to strict ecological criteria from the selected building materials to the technical realisation, help with this.

As part of a personal house consultation, individual ideas of sustainable building and the possibilities of an experienced building partner can be harmonised. For a privately used family home, subsidies of up to 270,000 euros are available if a prefabricated house is to be realised according to a modern, ecological concept.

Consciously thinking about the future

From cities and municipalities to companies and environmental initiatives, there are countless tips for sustainable living - some easier to implement than others. Before the overview is lost in a flood of tips and information, owners and tenants alike should ask themselves where their individual focus should lie.

There are many ways to make your own life more sustainable - choosing high-quality organic products is just one of them. It is often better to consider where the greatest personal relevance exists and to implement this consistently than to take small and cautious steps in many areas.

Many of our customers expect our organic products to provide a comprehensive supply of nutrients and avoid toxins. You can adopt this concept if you use water filters to ensure clean quality in your own home or decide to grow your own small vegetable garden. You'll find plenty of ideas for successful home and garden design here.
