Sustainability & connection to nature, what can you do?

In a time when sustainability and environmental protection are becoming increasingly important, aren't you also looking for creative ways to actively contribute to protecting our planet? One simple and effective way to support nature is to make so-called "seed bombs." These small balls of soil and seeds can be placed in various locations to create blooming oases for bees, butterflies, and other insects.

In this blog post, you'll not only learn how to make your own seed bombs, but also how to do so in a sustainable, climate-friendly, and resource-conscious way. There's also an exciting competition with an interactive quiz at shinyly.shop . As a reward, you'll get everything at shinyly.shop 10% off and a free e-book on "INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING SUSTAINABLE ORGANIC SEED BOMBS" !

Before we delve into the world of seed bombs, let's take a look at the meaning of sustainability and connection to nature. Sustainability means using resources in a way that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It's about consciously using our limited resources in harmony with ecological, social, and economic aspects.

Sustainability and closeness to nature – what does that mean to you?

A connection to nature is your intimate relationship with nature, where you see yourself and your environment as part of the natural cycle and are gifted with the ability to appreciate its beauty and value. Both of these together can lead you to discover opportunities to actively work towards preserving and protecting your environment. You can directly examine your intuitive, empathetic relationship with nature in your current living environment by listening to yourself.

Sustainability and connection to nature go hand in hand and are inextricably linked. It means living consciously and considering the impact of our actions on the environment. But what exactly does this mean for you? How can you easily and creatively implement this in your life here and now? What ideas spontaneously spring to mind when you think about it? Why not start implementing them right away?

First and foremost, it's about cultivating a respectful approach to nature. This means protecting and preserving natural resources instead of recklessly exploiting them. shinyly.shop consciously strives to focus on products that are ecologically produced and sustainable, whether for everyday use or leisure. All of our products are handpicked and carefully tested for their sustainability for you and your loved ones.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to make your own seed bombs:

Step 1: The right materials

You need:

• Potting soil from sustainable production
• Clay powder (can be purchased at hardware stores or online)
• A selection of seeds of native plants (particularly suitable for bees and insects)

Step 2: Mix the ingredients

Mix the potting soil and clay powder in a bowl in a ratio of 3:1. The clay acts as a binding agent and ensures that the seed bombs stick together.

Step 3: Adding the seeds

Place a generous amount of seeds into the bowl and mix them well into the soil and clay mixture. Make sure the seeds are evenly distributed to ensure optimal germination.

Step 4: Forming the seed bombs

Take small amounts of the mixture and form them into manageable balls. You can make them about the size of ping-pong balls. Then let them harden for 1-2 days in a dry place.

Step 5: Applying the seed bombs

Once the seed bombs are dry, you can plant them in various locations. Make sure you choose suitable locations where the seeds have good soil contact and receive sufficient light.

Climate-friendly and resource-oriented production

The seed bomb manufacturing process can also be made climate-friendly and resource-efficient. By using local, sustainably produced potting soil and organic clay powder, you can reduce the carbon footprint of your seed bombs. You can also use open-pollinated seeds from native plants to promote biodiversity and support the preservation of regional plant varieties.
