When it comes to environmental problems, they’re all covered in one scientific framework: The 9 Planetary Boundaries. If you know more about that framework, you know what challenges the environment is facing and what the limits of the planet are. And if you know the planet’s limits, you know the way forward when it comes…
The importance of a sustainable mortgage
Often when we as individuals think about a sustainable or an eco-positive lifestyle, we think about our own behavior. And when we look at our own behavior, we tend to look at details as well. We look at recycling or cutting food waste, when the biggest impact is in the supply chain of the products…
4 podcast tips – May 2025
It’s May again! And that means I have a tradition to follow. The past 4 years, I’ve always shared 4 podcast tips with you in May. Today I will do so again. 4 podcast tips about 4 very different subjects because my interests are quite broad haha. There’s not really a red line. The only…
Vegan restaurants in Enschede
About one year ago, I posted an article about all the sustainable hotspots in Enschede. It consisted of vegan restaurants and secondhand clothing hotspots. In hindsight, I am not happy with that article, because it’s actually two things in one. This combination makes both the vegan restaurants and secondhand clothing shops hard to find (on…
Why my partner and I divide the household expenses equally
Last week I told you why my partner and I divide the household work equally. That’s all about the work to be done at home. The hours spend cleaning, cooking and planning, to name a few things. But there’s another aspect of the household which aligns with this: the household expenses. As an intersectional feminist,…
Why my partner and I divide the household work equally
As you might have read a few weeks back, my partner and I bought a house together. It’s not the first time we are living together, we have rented a place before, but it is the first time where it’s permanent (I hope, haha). Now that we’ve settled in a little bit (we’re about a…
All the secondhand clothing I bought in 2024
In the first years of writing this blog, I used to write multiple articles each year about all the secondhand clothing I bought. Now, I feel like the fact that I wrote so many articles each year showed that I bought too much secondhand clothing. It’s secondhand, yes, so it’s the most sustainable option. But…
Life update: I moved to Utrecht!
I created this blog to write about my sustainability journey. However, it is also my personal blog. And so, sometimes, I write about what’s happening in my personal life too. When big things happen, life updates. Today is such a day, because something big in my life has happened and I want to share more…
Where would I like to see the world in 2100 when it comes to intersectional feminism?
Not long ago I wrote an article, listing 23 reasons why we still need intersectional feminism today. In that article I write about what’s wrong with our society at this moment when it comes to intersectional feminism. It’s a rather negative article, because the world today is not as I (and many others) would like…
My series recommendations from 2024
Last year, I wrote three ‘types’ of recommendation articles: book recommendations, documentary recommendations and series recommendations. This year, I am sharing only two: my book recommendations from 2024 and today an article about my series recommendations from 2024. Because honestly, I made no time in 2024 for documentaries. But since series are usually shorter and…
