Fall is the season in which the most beautiful colors that cannot be compared to other seasons appear. There are different types of activities that you can do in fall, only these can also be done in a more sustainable way.

That's why we've put together a list of sustainable activities for you to do during the fall. This way you can enjoy this colorful season to the fullest and help the world a little bit.

1. Keep your leaves

Beautiful leaves are very characteristic of autumn. However, these leaves bring with them chores. Raking, bagging and mulching to take the leaves away via the garbage man with garden waste bags. This is actually all unnecessary since the autumn leaves are very good for your lawn.

Dead leaves are part of the life cycle of plants and soil. Plants grow out of the soil, die, decompose, and are returned to the soil. Removing dead leaves from this cycle can affect the health of your soil.

So where can you do your part? Large piles of leaves can cause the grass on your lawn to die. That is why it is best to mulch the leaves and spread them evenly over your garden. It can also be placed at the foot of a tree. This provides good insulation during the winter. Do you not have time to mulch your leaves or do you not have your own lawn? Then you can compost the leaves at home or via the municipality.

2. Keep it cozy!

In the fall, the weather will cool down nicely, so insulating your home even better is a good solution. By insulating your home, you save more money and energy and that is what we all want! Doorways and windows are still the biggest enemy of your warm home. Here are some tips to keep you nice and warm at home.

First of all window film, these are made of a thin plastic to prevent extra heat loss. They are easily removable and therefore only needed during the cold months that everyone is expecting. They make a big difference in keeping your living space warm.

In addition to window film, very thick curtains are also a nice substitute. It has the same effect and ensures that cold air does not blow in. It only makes your room a bit darker, but this of course also makes it nice and cozy.

Doors are also a problem with good insulation. Cold air often slips in through the bottom. This is where door draft stoppers come in handy. You place these in front of your door and they stop all the cold air that tries to slip in under your door. This way you keep your rooms nice and warm.

3. Enjoy nature sniffing

Autumn is of course not just for staying indoors, watching Netflix, drinking hot chocolate or staying warm under a blanket. Getting some fresh air in the outdoors is also important. A good balance provides a lot of good. Autumn is just good enough to be outside. It is not too cold and not too hot. For a more conscious lifestyle it is very important that we spend time in nature to appreciate and respect it, so that we can take care of it.

Admiring the leaves from your window can be fun while reading a few chapters of a book but take a walk around the city, bike to a park or your favorite coffee shop to grab a hot drink. Go camping and pitch a tent above the dry leaves so you can wake up the next day with crisp weather, surrounded by colorful nature.

4. Eat (delicious) local

Get your food from your local farmer or vendor during the fall. Experience the best that fall has to offer by using seasonal ingredients. By buying food that grows and ripens during this natural season, your food doesn’t have to come from far away. This reduces the use of fossil fuels and pollution from planes, trucks, and other forms of transportation. These benefits also apply when you choose to buy local. Another bonus is that your food is as fresh as it can be. Isn’t that great?
