In my opinion, it isn’t fair that we don’t see the story behind every single thing we buy. Because, everything we buy has an impact. That impact can be low (which I prefer of course), and it can be extremely high. It can be horrific to see, but also beautiful. Today I want to talk…
Category: Books, documentaries, films, series and podcasts
In this category I share all the books, documentaries, films, series and podcasts that I personally think you should know about. Books, films, documentaries, series and podcasts are an amazing and often accessible way to learn more about specific topics. I value personal growth since I think it can make us better and more compassionate person. Good rescources can play a role in this personal growth for me personally.
Documentary: Gasland (Part I and II)
It’s time for a new must watch! Two, actually, since the makers decided to make a part II. These documentary tells us things about something we all use, energy. Energy is something all of us need. The difference lies in hoe we produce that energy. Fossil fuels or renewable energy? The documentary Gasland (part I…
Documentary: Chasing Coral
A few weeks ago I shared a blog post about The documentary Chasing Ice. That documentary was absolutely stunning and sad at the same time. As I watched it on Netflix, they recommended another documentary to me: Chasing Coral. I’ve seen it now and I am telling you: you should see this too.
Documentary: Seablind
This week a documentary which is a good follow-up on the subject from last week. This documentary is not about the melting of the ice caps, but it is about one of the biggest contributors to this problem. This 2DOC documentary is about the thing that causes the biggest negative impact on a personal level:…
Documentary: Chasing Ice
Ah, it’s vacation again! Now I have a lot of time to watch good documentaries. Netflix on the tv, feet up, a good snack and let’s watch. The documentary I am sharing with you today is amazing and sad at the same time, like most documentaries about climate change. It’s amazing because the images are…
Lekker Koken met Restjes by Daisy Scholte
Food waste, a huge and urgent topic if you ask me. Even though it’s not the biggest thing you can do to combat the climate crisis, I hear a lot about it around me about it. I think this is the case because it’s very visible but also because there are hundreds of tricks to…
The Hidden Impact by Babette Porcelijn
The past week I’ve read a book that has been on my list for a long time. I still remember the day it was launched. My social media blew up (I follow a lot of people who are concerned with the environment) and I saw the writer on television around that time too. I wanted…
Series: Rotten
Today another series around the theme: ‘knowing where your food comes from’. You probably haven’t noticed at all that I find this theme important *coughing*. When you want to know more about the origin of your food and how it’s made, there are quite a lot of subjects to cover. The use of pesticides, whether…
Documentary: Earthlings
A while back I saw an interesting article coming by. In a newspaper (in De Volkskrant, a Dutch newspaper) I saw an article about a slaughterhouse. The slaughterhouse had made a part of their proces transparant. They had literally made glass walls around a part of the ‘assembly line’ so that people passing the slaughter…
Documentary: Racing Extinction
Today I am sharing a documentary with you again. I’ve waited way too long with sharing it, I saw this documentary in 2015 already. I love documentaries but I have to say this is a tough one again. It might make climate change seem overwhelming, like we have no power as individuals. But that’s not…
