Over the past years I have been surprised by how many things we as people buy. Especially things we do not need, at all. Today I am sharing 5 of those things, 5 things I don’t buy myself. Marketing is extremely powerful and can make us think we need all sorts of things. I would…
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.
Eco-positive toilet paper: The Good Roll
The Good Roll is an eco-positive toilet paper brand. The product itself is the most sustainable toilet paper I could find on the market. And besides that, they use a part of their profit to make the world a better place. With half of the profits they built toilets for people in need. Being sustainable…
Why hunting is unethical
A few weeks ago, I wrote a post in which I explained why sports fishing is unethical. Sports fishing is something that some people do for fun. Today I want to discuss another hobby that includes killing: hunting. Unfortunately for the animals, there are still some people which hunt. But I would like to believe…
Racism
Under the category ‘intersectional feminism‘ I would like to write about all forms of oppression. Starting that category, I wrote something about intersectional feminism in general. After that it was time to write something about the general forms of oppression within intersectional feminism. The first subject I wrote about was ableism. Now it’s time to…
Why sport fishing is unethical
Some time ago I already wrote more about the ethical reasons against fish consumption. That’s all about eating fish or fish products. Today I want to talk about another way in which people abuse fish for no good reason: sport fishing. Maybe it’s a bit obvious that I am against it, as I am vegan…
DIY 2 ingredient air freshener
Since a few years I’ve been making my own air freshener. It’s easy to make, cheap and sustainable. This past week I already shared the recipe on Instagram in a reel. That reel was extremely popular, but I realized I had never shared the recipe on this blog before. But today is the day! Here’s…
Why biomass is not a sustainable fuel
This title that I wrote is pretty controversial, because it needs some nuance. And I’ll give that in a minute, I promise. But overall, I dare to say that my personal opinion on biomass is that it’s not a sustainable fuel. In my ideal world we’d need very little to no fuel created by biomass….
The Best Vegan Milk and Butter
Within this category of the best vegan product list I have written some posts already. I wrote about meat, fish, cheese & eggs. These foods have a wide range of products in them. That’s why I chose to share which products I like best. The category of today is quite different, within this category you…
Amsterdam to Budapest by Train
If I remember correctly, I took my last flight in 2018. After that last flight, I decided to stop flying to holiday destinations, as we’re in the middle of a climate crisis. However, that does not mean I won’t go on holidays at all anymore. The contradictory is true! And so, this past summer I…
The 9 Planetary Boundaries
The past 3 years I have followed a pre-master in Earth and Economy and a master in Environment and Resource Management. And up until now, I mostly wrote about sustainability and an eco-positive lifestyle in the personal sphere, as I believe that we all have a share making the earth a happy place for everybody….
