Eco-positive weekly diary #122: trying canned vegan tuna

Posted on January 30, 2020January 24, 2023

Hi there, welcome back into my personal weekly diary! I try to live an eco-positive lifestyle and in this weekly diary I try to show you what that looks like on a daily basis. What choices and habits make my life eco-positive or not? The past week I received my low-waste make-up order, had vegan sushi and I tried vegan canned tuna. Here’s eco-positive weekly diary #122.

Thursday

Today I posted something on Instagram about my opinion on horse-riding. As a vegan, I think the sport is unethical and so via Instagram I sometimes post my opinion about it. I’ve really noticed that this is the part of veganism people get angry about because I get a lot of negative responses from my posts. People saying I post bullshit, that does actually only happen when this subject comes up. I think there’s a reason people get so angry about it, maybe it’s their inner conflict too. Soon I’ll write a blogpost about because I also feel like I need to elaborate on the subject, a lot of people misunderstand my point of view. At night I had some drinks at the student association. I ended up at MacDonalds, after not going there for over a year and I ordered some fries and ketchup. I don’t feel bad about supporting this company for once, it sometimes happens.

Friday

I had a presentation at school today. They asked if one person from our class wanted to practice in front of class as a preparation for the final presentation next week. I signed up because I can always use the feedback. And it went very well today! Afterwards I went back to Enschede had some vegan organic lentil soup from Lidl and some homemade vegan garlic butter. I also got a package with low-waste make-up which I ordered. Some time ago I ordered a refill for my powder, which came in aluminum and cardboard. I also ordered another mascara, because I wasn’t happy with the last type of zero waste mascara I ordered. The one I got today is packaged in plastic, but the least I could find. Both are from Zao and I ordered it at Nienies webshop. They shipped it in a package with plastic, which really bothered me. Next time I’ll contact them to see if they can send the package plastic-free.

Saturday

Before I went to work today I went to the gym again. Once at work they asked if I could work longer and so I worked all day at my part-time job.

Sunday

I went to the gym again and it feels so good! Today I did a boxing class today which I would really recommend (at Basic Fit), it is very energizing. I did some chores at home and at night I had the very last order for my webshop Loose. A while ago I announced that I am quitting and handing over the concept to another business so that I can focus on my education. Today was the last order. Afterwards I went out to eat sushi at Ginza in Enschede with friends. Sushi is my favorite food and they have a lot of vegan options at Ginza. It was great to see my friends again!

Monday

Today I walked our dog Darco again, but today I didn’t pick trash meanwhile. Normally I try to, but today I did not feel like it and that’s okay. I also went to the library after ages. Just the smell made me happy when I walked in. I love the library, I love books. Since June 2019 I have only been reading Naomi Klein (a book which I did not finish because it was too heavy for me) and readings for University. I had been busy but now that school is almost over I have time to read books again! Today I got a book about financial independence. I also bought a gift for my handball trainer in Haarlem. Tomorrow is the last training and I wanted to thank him because I was so welcome there. I did not buy any new stuff, but I bought a local set of beers for him. Giving drinks or food is most of the time the more sustainable option, if you choose it over new stuff. Once back home I tried some canned vegan tuna, which was awful. I had bought it a while ago in Amsterdam because I was curious. It was gross and I do not recommend it. In the end I managed to get it okay with vegan mayonnaise, herbs and silver onions so I did eat it because I did not want to waste it.

Tuesday

It is the last week of school this week, I have a presentation on Thursday. So today I travelled to Haarlem for the last time. I feel quite bummed because I love going to school and so the next 6 months I won’t go to school but I’ll work. Yet, I have a lot of nice things planned the coming 6 months and so it will be great. At night I had my last handball training in Haarlem and said goodbye. It was quite weird to close this chapter already, but it has been fun!

Wednesday

Today I am going to cook for us in Haarlem. My boyfriend came over and I made a vegan couscous from WakkerDier (a Dutch organization for animal rights).

An eco-positive lifestyle is a lifestyle in which I have a more positive than negative impact on the beautiful planet earth. On this blog you can follow my journey to a life with only positive impact. At this blog you can find all sorts of things, from tips to recipes to personal experiences, but most of all fun (I hope!).

Ik ga dit jaar weer de challenge aan om de winter door te komen zonder de warming aan te zetten. Hiervoor ging mijn essential, een warmwaterkruik 💦, kapot. In deze reel laat ik je zien hoe ik een ‘nieuwe’ tweedehands kruik kocht. Vandaag te lezen op whenateengoesgreen.com: een inspirerende documentary over Greta Thunberg: I am Greta. Een documentaire over hoop, maar vooral over doorzettingsvermogen 🔥. Lees het nu via de link in mijn bio. Meer vegan producten in de schappen, yay! Gisteren probeerde ik voor het eerst de vegan lentil tikki masala saus van Patak’s 🧑🏼‍🍳. Zie in deze reel wat ik ervan vond. Vandaag verscheen er een nieuw artikel op mijn blog over: 5 dingen die ik niet koop. Want we denken vaak dat we dingen écht nodig hebben, maar vaak is dat niet zo 🧠. Check het artikel via de link in miijn bio. Vorige week verscheen er een artikel op mijn blog over alles wat ik nieuw kocht in 2022. Dat is een groot deel van mijn negatieve impact. Deze week was het tijd om te kijken naar de andere kant van de medaille. Vandaag lees je op mijn blog een artikel over al mijn positive impact in 2022 🌞. Je vind de link naar het artikel in de link in mijn bio. Afgelopen week verscheen er op mijn blog een artikel over alles wat ik nieuw heb gekocht in 2022. Eén ding op de lijst waren deze onderbroeken (een stuk of 20). En nu denk je misschien: waarom zou je in één keer zoveel onderbroeken kopen? Op 31 december, nog net op de valreep in 2022, kwam er een video online op mijn Youtube-kanaal over voedselcoöperaties. Ik denk namelijk dat voedselcoöperaties ons voedselsysteem democratischer en eerlijker kunnen maken 🥦. Elk jaar stel ik mezelf als doel om geen nieuwe spullen te kopen. Er is weer een jaar voorbij, dus het was tijd om te evalueren. Is het me gelukt om in 2022 geen nieuwe spullen te kopen? 🛒 Je leest het vandaag op m’n blog. Ook tijdens het gourmetten kan je heel makkelijk vegan eten 🌱. Zie hier wat ik at als vegan op de tweede kerstdag 🎄. Gourmetten is een topoplossing als je niet uren in de keuken wilt staan. Lekkere snacks kopen, even snijden en alles neerzetten en bakken maar!
