Category: My Ideal World

When I started this blog, I started out small. I looked at small steps that I could take to make this world a better place. And don’t get me wrong, those small steps are very important. However, after about 6 years of writing about these individual changes we can make, I started to look at the bigger picture. What would my ideal world look like?

I started looking at the structures instead of the actions itself. Sounds vague? I know. What I mean is that at first, I looked at my personal shopping behavior in the supermarket. However, after a while, I looked at the bigger picture. Instead of looking at what products are most sustainable within the current system, I evaluated on what the system should look like in the first place. What should our entire food system look like?

And that zooming out is something I like to do for every category. For a society as a whole, in what way should our food, but also energy, clothing, government, healthcare systems, etc. look like. One day I hope to write a book about this, writing about my utopia, my ideal world.

Where would I like to see the world in 2100 when it comes to intersectional feminism?

Not long ago I wrote an article, listing 23 reasons why we still need intersectional feminism today. In that article I write about what’s wrong with our society at this moment when it comes to intersectional feminism. It’s a rather negative article, because the world today is not as I (and many others) would like…

Crowd-funding for a better financial sector

Posted on August 21, 2023January 23, 2025

For years now, I’ve been writing for personal changes people can make in their daily life to make their life more sustainable. However, since about a year, I’ve started to expand that view. From that point on, I also started thinking about what I wanted society as a whole to look like. I started the…

The energy transition decentralizes power

The energy transition is a necessary transition that the whole world is in right now. It means that societies are slowly switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Instead of heating your house by burning gas, you’ll use renewable electricity, to name one example. We need to do this to combat climate change and make…

More than 3 years ago I wrote a post called: how to make sustainable food choices. It’s a step by step guide for making the most sustainable choices when it comes to food. However, that post assumes you’re already in a shop of some kind. A supermarket, a farmer’s market, a local shop, etc. Right…

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)
