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…
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: 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…
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…
Series: Rot op met je milieu!
Today I am sharing a must watch in the form of a series. A series of four episodes which can be watched on NPO2. I am talking about: Rot op met je milieu! A great series that shows different opinions about sustainability and how we need to deal with those differences. Today I am sharing…
Documentary: Before The Flood
A good documentary, including Leonardo Dicaprio, what else can we want? Nothing. And so I’m writing about it today. Before The Flood is a documentary about climate change. It was released in 2016. If you haven’t seen it yet, I suggest you should. It is chocking, but extremely important.
No Impact Man by Colin Beavan
Today I’m sharing a must watch and a must read all at once. It’s about Coling Beavan and his family. That’s because Beavan names himself the No Impact Man. As Beavan mentions, his family and him used to be like most other American families. They barely cook their own food, don’t own a bike and…
Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer
Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer is an elucidation. And I barely ever read those. Not since those were mandatory in high school. The ones I read then were extremely boring. But Eating Animals is not boring at all. In fact, I think it’s the best book I’ve read about this subject so far. And…
Earth in Balance by Al Gore
Today I’m sharing a book by Al Gore as a must read! Earth in Balance, a book about climate change and global warming. The biggest challenge of our time and something most of my readers try to battle I suppose. Al Gore battles it too, just on a different level! Today I’ll tell you about…
Documentary: Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead
The past week I watched two documentaries. Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead and Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead 2. They were both on my list and on available on Netflix! It concerns a subject I’m very passionate about: a healthy diet. In this case about a whole-food plant-based diet. It’s about a guy named Joe…
