What is L.O.V.E. ?

Everyone has a different definition for „love“ and what it means to them. So I’ll try an easier task and rather explain you what the acronym “L.O.V.E.” stands for. In short: it’s showing love to our planet. In the first articles of my blog I have teased it already, but now i will explain all the letters - so here we go, it’s quite simple:

LOCAL - ORGANIC - VEGAN - ECOLOGICAL

It is a concept and guideline to make the blurry and clunky word “sustainability” more tangible. And yes, it is my personal, subjective understanding and I won’t quote scientific articles or other sources why this is the best definition of sustainability and ecology. It’s simply what worked best for me personally all the last years since I got into the topic of sustainable living and i hope it will help you as well.

It may help you in your everyday living to make the right decisions towards a greener and more sustainable future. You are able to apply it to many situations in your everyday life to help you answer questions, like:

• What should I buy at the supermarket today?
• Where and how do I go on my next trip or vacation?
• How do I get to meet my friend at the other end of the city?
• What do I need at home for my everyday life?
• Where will I go for lunch?
• etc...

Instead of more words, I decided to go with a simple, graphical chart to give you further details on the contents. I will explain their meaning in more detailed blog articles. If we all apply these little steps - which everyone can do to their  own possibilities - into our everyday lives, spread the word and get friends & family to act (more) L.O.V.E.-ing, I am sure we have a good chance to live healthier lives, reduce emissions, stop global warming and heal our precious little planet for future generations.

So, what is happening here on this blog?

1. You can follow the blog and vlog on my trip through Asia on which I focused on slow, eco traveling and following the L.O.V.E. principles whenever possible (after an initial flight, which got of course CO2 compensated):
I travelled for four months all the way from India through several countries back home to Germany without flying once. →BLOG and →VLOG on YouTube

2. You can get inspired, find insider recommendations and follow the whole route and locations which I visited along my journey through Asia. →MY ROUTE

3. You find reviews of mostly sustainable restaurants & shops I found on my way (mostly in Europe) - all rated according to the L.O.V.E. principles to find hidden gems that care about what you most care for. The rating covers all four L.O.V.E. squares with 0 to 5 earths. →LOCATION REVIEWS
