If you’ve followed me long enough, you know that I once had a webshop for package free groceries. In 2020, I closed that webshop because a bigger party entered the market: Pieter Pot. Today I want to tell you about them, because they’ve got an amazing concept! Here’s more about ordering zero waste groceries at…
Category: Reducing negative impact
Reducing negative impact is the first step towards moving towards an eco-positive lifestyle. You first have to remove as much negative impact as you can, in order to live within the earth’s capacity. Meaning, that if everybody lives like you, we’d only need 1 or less earths.
Once you have that base of living eco-neutral (having no negative impact, but also no positive), only then it’s time to start increasing your positive impact. That’s why this category about reducing your negative impact is the biggest category on this blog, it is the core of an eco-positive lifestyle.
The best vegan ice-cream, desserts and yoghurt
I think this post will be the last one in the ‘best vegan product’-category. So far I wrote about the best vegan meat, fish, eggs & cheese, milk and butter. That covers just about everthing. Today I finish the series by writing about the best vegan ice-cream, yoghurt and desserts. But that does not mean…
I am a poop donor
This title may seem clickbait. Because for some people this sounds insane. However, it is 100% true. I am a poop donor. And the story gets ever crazier. People may be cured from a certain disease with my poop. I say may because I am a poop donor in a scientific research program. Today I…
Why I don’t measure my sport performances or sleep
Over the past few years I see a very strong trend of measurement around me. People measure a lot when it comes to their health. They measure how long they sleep, how deep they sleep, how far they ran, in what pace they ran, how many steps they took, what their heartbeat rhythm was, and…
Femicide
Some time ago I wrote an article about intersectional feminism. With that, we have an overarching term for the fight against all the injustice that is done to women on a daily basis. And that injustice is immense. From subtle injustice to matters of life and death. I want to describe all the different forms…
Vegan food diary for a week – March 2023
It’s been more than a year since I shared a vegan food diary with you. I’ve been following a vegan diet for over seven years now, so I can’t imagine myself eating any other way. However, a vegan diet is not the norm in The Netherlands, unfortunately. In my direct surroundings I see things improving,…
Amsterdam to London by train
Exactly one week ago I arrived back home from a city trip to London. I got that city trip from my boyfriends as a gift fir my 24th birthday past September. I love to travel, but it is a must for me to do so sustainably. In this climate crisis we can’t afford to fly…
Reusable birthday party decorations
If we’re lucky, we get to celebrate quite a bit of birthdays in our lifetime. In Dutch culture, it is tradition to decorate your home when it’s your birthday. Today I want to talk about a sustainable option when it comes to this: reusable birthday party decorations. Right now, most people use pendulums, balloons and…
The last secondhand clothing inspiration of 2022
In 2022 I shared 4 posts about some secondhand clothing I bought. In each post I came to the same conclusion: I am doing good, but not good enough. I want to buy less. From this point on I want to challenge myself more. From 2023 onwards, I will write about the secondhand clothing I…
Dieting distracts us
It’s still January, the month when a lot of people in our society start dieting again. Most people view dieting as a ‘good intention’ for the new year. I know a bunch of people around me who are dieting right now. New year, new me, right? Well, no. There are so many reasons why diets…
