With this blog I keep telling you over and over: individuals have a massive impact on our planet. And therefore, every single person can have positive impact, every single day. Up until this point the focus of this blog has been about sustainable changes to cross out the negative impact on the planet. But there…
Category: Inspiration
Inspiration and learning new things is crucial to me. I get inspiration from books, documentaries, films, organizations, etcetera. These media forms teach me how to see the world and how to be a better person every single day. I find is highly important to be aware of certain problems and how I relate to them. In this category I put all those resources together for you. This way you can always find relevant inspiration here.
I write separate blogposts about individual books, documentaries, podcasts and more. However, I’ve also created an ultimate list of all those things combined. This way you can take a quick look at which books, documentaries etc. I recommend on a specific subject. That list is a never-ending project.
Documentary: De Klimaatontkenners
Climate change, I know what it is. I hope you do too. For me it is one of the most critical subjects. I find it interesting and horrifying at the same time. Climate change has been proved as real, it is therefore a fact. However, there are still people denying its existence. Crazy, I know….
Documentary: Vegucated
My past week has evolved around one thing: eating vegan. Right now I’m in the transitioning period from vegetarian to vegan and so I’m learning a lot. I call myself a proud vegan already! A while ago I saw a documentary about this subject and the transitioning period and so today I want to share…
Series and book: Hoe word je 100?
Food and water are the two most important things we need in life. Without any of these we die, simple is that. A person has to eat. But what should a person eat? It’s a subject which raises a lot discussion. There is a lot to choose when you’re putting together your diet. The amount…
Sustainable Hotspot: Madurodam
Today my holiday begins! Yes, again … The life of a student is good! But for now I wanted to look back to my previous holiday. In the big summer holiday I went to Madurodam! My grandpa had won tickets in the lottery, but he didn’t want to go himself. And so we (my boyfriend,…
How I Lived a Year on Just a Pound a Day by Kath Kelly
A while ago I read a book about a new subject to me personally: living off of very little money. It’s been a theme I’ve thought about a lot but never read a book or written a blogpost about. Today that has changed! I think the theme can align with a sustainable lifestyle in many…
Documentary: Cowspiracy
Wow. Just wow. That was my response after watching the documentary Cowspiracy. I just sat there, flabbergasted. But then I took a look at my personal values and beliefs and decided things were going to change, for good. I watched Cowspiracy in January of 2016. Ik was then in the middle of an experiment. In…
Sustainable and fun hotspots in Budapest
A while ago I mentioned in one of my weekly diaries that I wanted to start a new category on this blog. Today I am actually doing that! This is the new category: hotspots. I want to share the sustainable hotspots with you from everywhere I’ve been. I’m sharing only the positive/sustainable hotspots. The things…
Documentary: The True Cost
The past I bought a new sweater. At least, it was new to me, because I bought it at a secondhand shop. I’ve had a love for secondhand clothing for most of my life. My mom took me with her to thrift shops and to secondhand fairs too. It is a bit of a search,…
Better than Before by Gretchen Rubin
I know this blog has been about sustainability and so far most mostly about a zero waste lifestyle. That’s why I also started the weekly diaries, to show what my journey towards sustainability looks like. But, sustainability isn’t the only thing that interests me. And the past weeks I read a book I found so…
