Hi there! Welcome back into my personal diary. This diary is about living an eco-positive life, trying to do more good than bad. The past week I had my first day at my thesis-company, went out to dinner and had some lovely vegan food and finally won a handball match! Want to read along? Here’s…
Amsterdam to Albufeira by Train
When I calculated my impact last year, I knew something had to change. I was doing quite well, because I live vegan and buy most of my stuff secondhand, but flying seemed to be a major issue. I could fly and still have the amount of eco-points to live a sustainable life. But, I want…

Documentary: Revolution
There are always so many emotions going through me while I watch documentaries regarding climate change. Fear, anger, disgust, disappointment. But there is one thing that really kept going through my mind seeing Revolution: stupidity. This is pure stupidity! I always though of us humans as rather smart beings, but oh my, we are so…
