This week, Lydie Philippy presents a vegan Lentil salad with capers and parsley. You can find this and many other recipes on veggie-table.lu.

It’s hard to believe. Especially now – after a summer of unbearable temperatures that have brought the climate crisis even closer to home – the government intends to offer far greater tax breaks for so-called ‘plug-in hybrid’ cars as company cars than in the past.

It’s an absurd situation when you look at the facts.

In 2026, Oekofest will once again be a true festival for everyone. Spread across large parts of the Pfaffenthal, visitors can look forward to an extremely varied programme throughout the day.

Do you still have some space in your garden?

If you are interested, come by the Mouvement Ecologique stand during Oekofest on 20 September 2026 and reserve one of the trees.

On Tuesday 6 October at 8.00 pm at the Centre Culturel ‘Beim Nëssert’  – 14, rue de Schifflange – 3316 Bergem/Mondercange. The event will be held in Luxembourgish but will be simultaneously translated into French.

Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is a PFAS breakdown product produced in vast quantities by pesticides, refrigerants and other industrial chemicals, and which is steadily accumulating in drinking water, soil and even in foodstuffs such as cereals and wine (see studies by PAN Europe and Mouvement Ecologique from 2024 and 2025).

The ‘Wëllplanzesom Lëtzebuerg’ range of seed mixes and perennials is the perfect way to create a garden that is close to nature, welcoming to pollinators and climate-resilient. Autumn brings the ideal weather conditions for sowing your meadow or a flower strip.

As required by law, the Ministry of the Environment published a provisional assessment of CO₂ emissions in Luxembourg on 31 July. The central message: Luxembourg is meeting its reduction targets for 2025. All is well, one might think.

In Luxembourg, young people receive their first smartphone at an average age of 12; when purchasing new devices, however, reparability should be taken into account, particularly on Oekotopten.lu, which features the new reparability index.

From 2026, 70 per cent of new cars purchased in Luxembourg would have to be electric vehicles, in line with the National Climate and Energy Plan, if we are to meet our climate protection targets. However, we are a long way from that!
