It’s been more than a year since I shared what I eat in a week as a vegan, in March 2023. I also shared food diaries in 2022, 2019 and 2018. I think it’s important to share what I eat as a vegan, since many people have no clue what vegans eat. And I personally…

The ‘Beter Leven’ label on meat explained

Posted on June 3, 2024January 27, 2025

If you tell Dutch people there’s someone in their neighborhood who is gassing pigs or cutting off their tails, people are disgusted and mad. They think this person should be tracked down and prosecuted. When you tell them that it’s a company doing this, a slaughterhouse or a farmer, then they don’t seem to care….

ABOUT ME

 

when a teen goes green

Hi! My name is Romee and I live an eco-positive life. An eco-positive lifestyle is a lifestyle with more positive than negative impact on beautiful planet earth. Compared to most people, I live extremely sustainable. I don’t fly, eat meat or animal products, buy only secondhand clothing, etc. On the other hand, I try to help others as much as I can by donating a big chunk of my income, donating plasma, donating poop (yes!), volunteering, etc. On this blog you can read all about my lifestyle with only positive impact. I also have a Dutch Youtube channel (@duurzaamleven) and Dutch Instagram (@duurzaamlevenro). If you have specific questions for me, feel free to ask me anything.

Yours sincerely,
Romee (she/her)
