Boekhuis Book - De Hidden Impact

Article number: 9789021408309 View everything from Boekhuis> View more: Books> The consumer asks, pays and uses, and does not see what that is doing on the other side of the world. How can you make it more sustainable if you don't even know what is happening? At the beginning of 2014, I was quietly at home on the couch when my husband had read that the sixteen largest sea container ships are just as polluting as all the cars in the world together. I was surprised. When he told that 27 million trees disappear a day than get there, while trees get the CO2 out of the sky, I was shocked. He had delved into it and while he told further, my image tilted. I thought we were doing pretty well in the Netherlands, but there is much more going on outside our field of vision.   The decision was made in a split second: I will do something about this! The seed for 'the hidden impact' was planted. This book provides insight into our impact on the planet. That impact is largely outside our view and it is larger than we think. If you know where the biggest problems are, you can really effectively make it more sustainable. The hidden impact provides surprising insights and offers guidance for people who want to have a positive impact on the planet.   Author: Babette Porcelijn Uitgeverij: Volt ISBN: 9789021408309 Publication date: 03-10-2017 Dimensions: 230 x 170 x 18 mm Number of pages: 228 about the writer: Babette Porcelijn has studied industrial designs at TU Delft.

Jeroen Trommelen, De Volkskrant "Porcelijn shows well what the consequences are of our life of life." Paul Luttikhuis, NRC SCHACCHABLE. Reading material, where Babette Porcelijn fortunately also offers accessible solutions. "Happinez" written in a clear way, beautifully designed. "Technical weekly" An inspired book. "One world" Informative and practical. "Bedrock.nl" incredibly good, moved and meaningful book. It puts nicely in a row where we pollute the most and puts the sense and nonsense around consuming and producing side by side. You just fall off your chair from some figures. "Abdelkader Benali" This should be compulsory teaching material, and with retroactive effect still for everyone. "Ruben van der Meer" an exceptionally useful and insightful book. With some facts your mouth falls open. And she writes great fun; Concrete, to the point and enormously accessible. As far as I am concerned, this is mandatory reading material for everyone. "Paula Nordhauzen, Ecomama" even my non-reading and non-in-green-being-man has read a whole evening in it. " You will find this book interesting! "Merel Wildschut, the Green Girls" The book gives you both the "great insights" and the translation to your daily life. Because you see the complete picture, in the right proportions, it makes it very clear which choices you can make.
