series: rot op met je milieu!

Series: Rot op met je milieu!

Posted on August 21, 2017January 24, 2023

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 the series Rot op met je milieu! with you. The series is unfortunately only available in Dutch. But since I am Dutch, I have decided to still share it.

Rot op met je Milieu!

The idea of the series is quite simple. Six different people with different views about sustainability are put together in a house for two weeks. And with different views I mean really different views. We have for example Donny, who thinks people that are concerned about sustainability are a thread to society (thanks, Donny). But we also have Anne Fleur, the vegan sustainability activist. As you might expect, tensions and discussions are inevitable.

The House

To not just be in the house they go out every once in a while for a special assignment or trip. But the house itself has rules too. Consequently, they have to see it as the earth. Nothing leaves the house. They have to keep all their trash and since CO2 is not visible they will receive that in the form of balloons and keep it inside of the house. They even have to keep their wastewater in a special tank. This gives an extra dimension to the story. An example is that on the first day they throw a party and choose to buy disposable cutlery. They will face those consequences later!

The Episodes

As I said, the attendants don’t just stay inside the house. Every day they go on a trip in groups. The trips are supposed to give them insights on sustainability. Here are the subjects of the different episodes:

  1. In this first episode you get the know the 6 attendants and they go on a trip to pick up trash as garbage collectors.
  2. Food Waste. In this episode the attendants learn more about dumpster diving and learn to cook with leftovers in a restaurant.
  3. Feces, ew! The attendants are going into the sewage system. They’re also visiting a pig farm (I personally found that part really harsh) and learn more about pee!
  4. Plastic. In this episode they’re going out with a person who ‘hunts’ trash (as this person calls it), they’ll see how much plastic is collected out of the ocean every day and they’ll investigate animals to see how much plastic they have inside them.

My Opinion

I think this series is a must watch, that’s why I’m sharing it today. It makes you look at different subjects when it comes to sustainability. You see how they really affect all of us. I learned a lot about dog poop in one of the episode, haha! I think I identify most with Anne Fleur, but I also find it useful to see all the different opinions these other people have. This way the conversation about sustainability will be more accessible and that’s important because we need solutions and we need to do better!

Have you seen the series Rot op met je milieu! ?

Yours sincerely,
Romee

ABOUT ME

 

Hi! My name is Romee Hoeksma and I am on a journey to an eco-positive life. An eco-positive lifestyle is a lifestyle in which I have a more positive than negative impact on the beautiful planet earth. On this blog you can follow my journey to a life with only positive impact. At this blog you can find all sorts of things, from tips to recipes to personal experiences, but most of all fun (I hope!). I write about how I want to change the world, but don’t look at it as if I’m judging you. If anything, I like responses from my dear readers the most, so don’t hesitate to contact me or respond to any of my posts!

Yours sincerely,
Romee

Eén van mijn favoriete vegan snacks, bij de Lidl tijdens de Griekse week 🇬🇷. Op dit moment is plantaardig eten nog niet de norm in Nederland, helaas. Daarom hebben veel mensen dan ook geen idee wat veganisten eten. Om die reden heb ik de afgelopen week weer eens een eetdagboek bijgehouden, want wat eet ik nou als veganist gedurende de week? Je leest het nu in mijn vegan food diary via de link in mijn bio 🥭. #plantaardig #veganfood #dagboek Verpakkingsvrij wasmiddel kopen, dat hoeft niet moeilijk te zijn! In deze reel laat ik je zien hoe ik dat doe 🧺. Volg mijn account voor meer duurzame tips. Elke maand doneer ik ongeveer 7% van mijn inkomen aan goede doelen, omdat ik dat zie als enorm belangrijk en het juiste ding om te doen 💸. Maar daarmee komt de vraag op: geloof ik dat goede doelen het antwoord zijn op alle grote problemen van onze tijd? Oftewel: is geld doneren de oplossing? Over die vraag én het antwoord schreef ik een uitgebreid artikel die vandaag online staat, de link vind je in mijn bio. #goeddoel #doneren #blog Vegan pizza tonno, hmmmm. Dacht je dat vegans geen tonijnpizza kunnen eten? Think again! 🐟 Een hele tijd geleden schreef ik een artikel over e-mail activisme: een vorm van activisme die je thuis op de bank kan doen. Vandaag deel ik graag een geslaagd voorbeeld daarvan met jullie ✨. Vandaag staat er een documentaire-tip op mijn blog. Disclosure, een documentaire over de representatie van transgender personen in de media 📽. Echt een must-see, want wat wij hebben als cis-gender personen nog een hoop te leren. Lees meer over de documentaire via de link in mijn bio. #disclosure #documentaire #transgender Vandaag deel 2 van de vegan hotspots in Londen 🧆. Wat heb ik lekker gegeten daar, niet te doen! Bubala was mijn absolute favoriet, dus als je iets moet kiezen, kies Bubala. Vorige week verscheen er een artikel over treinreizen naar Londen op mijn blog. Aanvullend daarop verscheen er vandaag een artikel over een ander aspect van duurzaam reizen: het eten. Lees nu het artikel met mijn favoriete veganistische restaurants in Londen nu via de link in mijn bio 🌮. #veganfood #veganlondon #veganrestaurants
