How many planets do we need, if everyone lives like you?

Do you know how many Earths we would need if everyone lived like you? I took the test to find out how big the impact of my lifestyle is on the environment.

🌳 September: #CleanPlanetBingo

1 hour, 2 people, 6 garbage bags. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
On #WorldCleanupDay, Gabi and I cleaned a small part of the coast of a local river. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We mostly found plastic bottles, many of them already starting to fall apart, and a lot of #microplastics of which we were unable to identify the original product.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Due to months of drought, the water level in the river is low. I really hope the rain comes soon, but I fear for all that plastic that we couldn't clean up today and that will be swallowed by the river once the water level starts to rise.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Although I am happy we could make a little contribution today to a cleaner planet, this isn't a permanent solution. A large part of the trash that didn't end up in the river today, will end up in landfill, as it is not reusable or not even recyclable. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The world NEEDS to shift away from disposable products to a system where ALL the bottles we found today can be reused over and over again, without the bottles deteriorating. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Is this really that difficult to implement? How does your city / state / country handle this?⁣⁣
⁣⁣

Who's up for a little game on #WorldCleanupDay?

Based on trash I found during my own cleanups, I have created a #CleanPlanetBingo card, which I would love to share with you.

No, wait, I am saying that all wrong.

I came up with the idea of the card. And @gabo_bel used his designer magic to turn it into reality. Thank you! 💚

If you want to use the card, just make a screenshot of this post or head over to the link in my bio to download the card for free. There is also a version for stories, in the highlight CleanPlanetBingo.

With pretty much any image editor on a smartphone you can digitally edit yours - swipe for an example - and it’s ready to share on Instagram.

Don’t forget to use #CleanPlanetBingo and tag @myhappyfootprint as you post it, I’d love to see what you cleaned up!

Never thought I could get this excited about... ha

Never thought I could get this excited about... hair!⁣
⁣
Most hair is seen as waste and ends up in landfill. ⁣
⁣
Because what else can you do with that yukky stuff collected from a brush, or the hair clippings from your latest haircut? ⁣
⁣
As it turns out, a lot! I did a bit of research, and here's what I found out:⁣
⁣
🌱 Hair contains a lot of nitrogen and can be used as an organic fertilizer in your garden. According to articles I read on @motherearthnewsmag and "Off The Grid News" it's also a great natural way to keep out snails, rabbits and deers.⁣
⁣
🌊 Hair can combat oil spills. The clean wave program of @matteroftrust (swipe) felts hair and other natural fibers into mats that are used to soak up oil spills and other petrochemical pollutants.⁣
⁣
♻️ This one is probably the most obvious: hair can be recycled and turned into wigs. This is something I already knew and did a couple of years back. ⁣
⁣
These examples show once again that waste isn't waste until we waste it. ⁣
⁣
Also good to know: except for the example of the wig, you can use both human hair as well as pet fur (yay for Toni! 😻)
⁣
I didn't get a haircut for the past 3 years. I wanted my hair to grow, so I can donate it again.⁣
⁣
If you were me, what would you do with it?⁣

I am pretty sure I am not the only one who dreams

I am pretty sure I am not the only one who dreams of a world without waste. If I would be, there wouldn't be millions of us joining #WorldCleanupDay on September 19th.⁣

By raising awareness, cleanups are a necessary START for what's really needed: a systemic shift in our approach to resources.⁣
⁣
A world without waste means that we shift away from disposable, low quality products to a world where resources are preserved at their highest quality and where we treat all 'waste' as a precious resource. It's only waste when it's wasted. ⁣
⁣
If you want to take action for a clean planet, now and in the future, check out the official website of @worldcleanupday.ldiw, where you'll find everything you need to get involved.⁣
⁣
Gabi and I will be cleaning a part of our neighbourhood on September 19th and map the trash we find. What action will you take?⁣

Does not buying any new clothes for a year seem like an impossible thing to do? 😕⁣
⁣
It did to me. Until I went cold turkey about 3 years ago. ⁣
⁣
I stopped buying any clothes for 365 days in 2018. And it wat amazing to see what happened.⁣
⁣
My non-shopping year turned into a year and 8 months without me even realizing it. ⁣
⁣
I had to practically force myself to buy a new pair of flip flops after I had completely worn out my last pair. ⁣
⁣
This experiment seriously changed my shopping habits forever. And it changed so much more.⁣
⁣
I have more time to spend on other things.⁣
⁣
I have a decluttered wardrobe.⁣
⁣
And a decluttered mind.⁣
⁣
One of the questions I get a lot about this expirement is "How did you do that?" ⁣
⁣
I have wrapped up my experience in a blog post (link in bio) to answer that question. ⁣
⁣
Have you made a change in your shopping habits? How does it feel?⁣

For the first time in decades, #EarthOvershootDay

For the first time in decades, #EarthOvershootDay - the date when we have used more from nature than our planet can renew in an entire year - has been pushed back. To August 22nd. Last year it was July 29th.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I don't feel much joy about this to be honest. The outcome has been highly influenced by the pandemic. A result that was caused by disaster, not by design, is NOT something to be happy about. And although activities dropped massively, it is still not enough for us to live within the boundaries of the planet.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We. Humans. All of us. WE are causing this.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But honestly, some of us a little, or a lot, more than others. There are huge differences, both individually, as well as on a country level. The @globalfootprintnetwork, the organization behind this day, also calculates the Overshoot Day per country, and the gaps are impressive: ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
🇺🇸 USA: March 14th⁣⁣
🇳🇱 Netherlands: May 3rd⁣⁣
🇦🇷 Argentina: June 26th⁣⁣
🇪🇬 Egypt: November 25th⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Through the link in the bio you'll find more #CountryOvershootDays as well as a link to calculate your #PersonalOvershootDay and ideas to #MoveTheDate. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
How wonderful would it be if we can collectively push the date 💚. I believe it's difficult, but possible. Do you?⁣⁣

February 15th, 2018.⁣
⁣
Me: "Really? And it works?" ⁣
⁣
Friend: "Yes. Seriously. Trust me. I have been using it for over a year now and I never ever want to use anything else."⁣
⁣
Me: "I don't know... it still seems weird and a bit unbelievable. But alright, I'll give it a try."⁣
⁣
Fast forward to April 7th, 2018.⁣
⁣
Me (all excited and with a loud and high pitched voice): "OMG. Seriously. WHY didn't I do this sooner???"⁣
⁣
This pretty much summarizes my experience when I switched from tampons and pads to the @organicup. Yes, really. I got THAT excited about my period. And now, 2,5 years later, I cannot imagine that I ever used tampons and pads. Team menstrual cup for life! ⁣
⁣
Since I started my journey to a more sustainable lifestyle, these 'why didn't I do this sooner' moments happen frequently: when I started making my own all-purpose cleaner, when I stopped using paper napkins, when I created my first capsule wardrobe... And I am sure there are many more to come in the future.⁣
⁣
What is your biggest eco-friendly 'why didn't I do this sooner' habit? ⁣

What do you do when your phone starts to work poor

What do you do when your phone starts to work poorly?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Do you try to repair it? Replace the battery perhaps?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Or do you buy a new one?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Chances are pretty high you opt for buying a new one. Because repairing is either impossible, or almost as expensive as buying a new device. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The short lifespan of our phones is causing serious problems:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
📱 Building a new smartphone consumes as much energy as using an existing phone for an entire decade.⁣⁣
📱 E-waste is the fastest growing waste stream on earth. 50 million tonnes are discarded each year, more than all of the commercial airliners ever made. ⁣⁣
📱 Only 20% of e-waste gets properly recycled.⁣⁣
📱 Europeans produce the most e-waste per capita in the world. ⁣⁣
📱 Both production as well as informal recycling are exposing millions of people to unsafe, even deadly, working conditions. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
That's why supporting initiatives such as @R2REurope is so important. This movement is successfully fighting the premature (and planned!) obsolescence of our electronics and aims for a system change, where REPAIR becomes the new normal. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If repair would be affordable and accessible, would you hold on to your smartphone longer?⁣⁣
