Climat’Optimists! 🌿🌏☀️

On 8 September of this year, we chose to rise to former French Minister Nicolas Hulot’s call to action.

We want to show that we can all strive to make a difference on a daily basis. We aim to prove that green actions every day can go a very long way.

Check out our mantra and ethos, presented below by Vivien, Co-President of Les Climat’Optimistes:

“Is there such a thing as a developed society that gets out there and marches onto the streets, clamouring for the preservation of biodiversity?”

It was with these very words that environmental activist Nicolas Hulot publicly pondered the most pressing issues of our time as he presented his ministerial resignation.

As far as we are concerned, our answer to his question is a resounding yes! Lire plus – Continue reading “Climat’Optimists! 🌿🌏☀️”

Organic Christmas Fair – Thank You Poulehouse!

Poulehouse is a French start-up with one goal in mind. Saving hens!

And believe us, this is one egg producer that is wholly committed to its motto of “the egg doesn’t kill the chicken”.

Did you know that many laying hens are killed at the age of just 18 months simply because they’re no longer considered productive enough? They end up being prematurely culled even though they could live for another 10 years in some cases! Lire plus – Continue reading “Organic Christmas Fair – Thank You Poulehouse!”

Organic Wine fair: Thank you Château des Rochers !

As a third-generation family-owned business, the Château des Rochers vineyards provide quality organic wine that isn’t out of reach. Following the retirement of her father, Patricia took over the family’s business and decided to transform it into an organic wine-growing holding.

The vines of AOC-certified Côtes de Castillon are grown along the hillsides that surround Saint-Emilion, stretching from Belvès-de-Castillon right through to Saint-Philippe-d’Aiguille. The vineyard has been producing organic wine since back in 2002, and #biodynamic wine since 2003. Lire plus – Continue reading “Organic Wine fair: Thank you Château des Rochers !”
