Free Walk Tours, Sustainable Living - Eco Habit Challenge Month 3

Whether you're new to Basel or have been here for a while - there's always more to learn about the city. And you can do it for free, too! Free Walk is an organisation that offers free walking tours around various cities in Switzerland, including Basel. You can leave a tip at the end of the tour, but you don't have to. The tours are in English as well as other languages. You'll learn about the history of the city through the eyes of a local. Our reporter Ingrid Koning went on a Basel walking tour last weekend. She talked to the tour guide and to some of the people on the tour, and recorded impressions from the walk. Local tourguide Anouk studied history and loves showing people around her city.

Our "Queen of Green" Carrie Aikman continues her Eco Habit Challenge for 2018. This month, we're looking to Zero Waste and overhaul our recipes. The first step is to eliminate dishes that call for hard-to-find ingredients - things that can’t be replaced with a package-free option. The second step, which can be done simultaneously, is to take recipes you like but simply need a swap to make them zero-waste. For more details, tips and links on all the challenges so far, check out this page and listen to Carrie's segment again.
