Eco Recipes

I’m working on translating my recipes to English.

For now, you can still read them in Dutch.

Too alarmist or not alarming enough? Is doomsday j

Too alarmist or not alarming enough? Is doomsday just around the corner or have we managed to turn things around with our electric cars, solar panels and wind turbines? Where exactly are we at?
.
The average global temperature has increased by 1.1°C since 1880. The aim of the Paris Agreement in 2015 was to limit global warming to well below 2°C by the end of the century. Unfortunately, almost no countries are on track to meet that goal. Scientists predict that the earth’s temperature will increase by 3°C.
.
While we may not be approaching an apocalyptic scenario of an increase of 5°C , we’re still not heading towards a world we want to leave future generations with. The IPCC report was clear about it. The more earth’s temperature rises, the more extreme weather events we’ll get. More frequent heat waves, worse floods, more intense hurricanes, more prolonged droughts… We need to do better. We need more ambitious actions. We need better climate policy. If we can collectively get our act together, we can actually solve this problem.

British Petroleum promoted the term “carbon foot

British Petroleum promoted the term “carbon footprint” to make you think that climate change is not being caused by oil giants. They unveiled their “carbon footprint calculator” in 2004 to put the focus on personal impact. While all of our individual choices do add up in the fight against climate change, we should not lose sight of the bigger picture. We need to exit the age of fossil fuels and reinvent our energy landscape. We need oil companies to be on board.

Shopping haul part 1. I went to @pieceofrina on Sa

Shopping haul part 1. I went to @pieceofrina on Saturday and absolutely fell in love with the sleeves on this dress 🥰. I've already experimented a bit and tried combining it with some other items from my wardrobe. Swipe to see! I don't know if I'll actually wear the look with the purple corset though... 😅 The earrings and elephant necklace are from Piece of Rina as well. It's just the cutest little shop in Ghent that offers a mix of secondhand and new items. #ShopLocal #SupportYourLocals #gent #ghent

Well, I gave it my best shot. 😂 Tanya is on to something! Overproduction IS causing damage to our environment and climate. Instead of buying something new, go thrift shopping and give stuff a second life! Another advantage of thrifting: it's easy on the wallet. I bought this candle holder for only 50 cent @kringwinkelateljee. 🤯
