Climate-proofing our home
Climate change affects us all. Worldwide, but also, in Belgium, we are confronted with this. Periods of drought alternate with periods of flooding.
The intensity is getting more and more intense.
With my project “Water For Live” I want to highlight the facet that we ourselves consider very important for our well-being. We all realize that we need to protect nature, but we must not forget that the food chain is equally in need of protection. No water, no food. Therefore, Water For Live.
We can all contribute to adapt to this problem. On the one hand, be frugal with water, on the other hand, collect rainwater to get through the droughts.

Make your home greener and bluer.
Scores range from A to F. They indicate the extent to which your plot is already climate-proof. Because there is always room for improvement, you will be given a number of suggestions that are best suited to your particular situation. With a few measures, you can make your plot greener and bluer. Or, put another way, you can simultaneously ensure more biodiversity and better, sustainable use of rainwater.

Profit
As opposed to backfilling with gravel, we chose to sow with sedum, rosemary and white clover. Our driveway is now not only permeable to water and cooling on hot days, but also a rich asset for bees .
Because adapting to climate change is very important to us, we want to share this information with you and are happy to answer any questions you may have.
