If you’ve followed me long enough, you know that I once had a webshop for package free groceries. In 2020, I closed that webshop because a bigger party entered the market: Pieter Pot. Today I want to tell you about them, because they’ve got an amazing concept! Here’s more about ordering zero waste groceries at…

The best vegan ice-cream, desserts and yoghurt
I think this post will be the last one in the ‘best vegan product’-category. So far I wrote about the best vegan meat, fish, eggs & cheese, milk and butter. That covers just about everthing. Today I finish the series by writing about the best vegan ice-cream, yoghurt and desserts. But that does not mean…
I am a poop donor
This title may seem clickbait. Because for some people this sounds insane. However, it is 100% true. I am a poop donor. And the story gets ever crazier. People may be cured from a certain disease with my poop. I say may because I am a poop donor in a scientific research program. Today I…
Why I never light candles
A few years ago I decided to stop lighting candles. At the time, candles were one of the few things that I would still buy new something. I love the smell of some candles, even when they’re not burning. And honestly, there are some pretty beautiful candles available. Aesthetically, they can really make your home…

It’s a series which dives a little deeper in the world of Dutch development aid. Something I’m very much interested in, because I feel like countries which are…
Why talkshows suck
I rarely watch live television. On average, I think it’s about 20 minutes per week. That’s usually when I’m cooking dinner or chilling with flatmates. I rarely watch live television because I want to watch programs very intentionally. I want to choose what I watch and when I watch it. And so, there are some…
Why I don’t measure my sport performances or sleep
Over the past few years I see a very strong trend of measurement around me. People measure a lot when it comes to their health. They measure how long they sleep, how deep they sleep, how far they ran, in what pace they ran, how many steps they took, what their heartbeat rhythm was, and…
My 3 biggest sustainability challenges at this moment
A few years now, I’ve been living an eco-positive lifestyle. Meaning that if everybody lived like me, we need 0,9 earths. It would mean that we’d have a sustainable future. However, I am not perfect. And I realize that I’ll never be perfect. And as long as I live within the earth’s capacity that’s all…
Mapathons
Today I want to share a very specific way to make positive impact with you: mapathons. I want to dedicate a full blogpost to mapathons because I feel like they’re a fun and accessible way of volunteering and creating positive impact, but not many people know about them. Up until this point I’ve joined 2…
