In this Sustainability Course we provide a brief basic knowledge about sustainability, ecology and climate change, and then you get specific knowledge and alternatives in the areas of food, goods, transport, living, bathroom and society as a whole. We stick to sustainable things that matter, so we try to separate useful from useless. In between, you will work in groups to discuss various things.

The structure is roughly as follows:

  • General introduction to sustainability, climate change. Concepts include: circular economy, difference between climate neutral and CO2 neutral and net zero, climate agreement, climate law.
  • Society: which social problems do we have, eg. details about waste. And what solutions, in the social and economic area.
  • Consume less: the biggest climate impact is in stuff. What exactly is that impact, and how can we make it more sustainable while it does make you happier? We also discuss minimalism.
  • Food: what is the impact of food, including meat and dairy. Rules of thumb for environmentally friendly food and drink.
  • Living / building: how can we make our home sustainable in terms of energy? Electricity and heat are also discussed here in particular. What can you do for every budget (whether or not to renovate), and in what order are which adjustments useful?
  • Bathroom / toilet: here we discuss water, heat and care products. We also discuss the total water consumption here. Enough things to discuss at a big and small level.
  • Transport: how can we make transport more sustainable? What is the impact of transport, both our daily transport and during holidays?

In this course you will get a method to integrate sustainability into your life, to do what suits you. We base ourselves on many scientific studies into happiness, sustainability, happiness and green, and the psychology behind behavioral change. Our approach -with a wink to Nonviolent Communication- invites you to look at what you really would like, what is feasible, and what really makes sense in terms of sustainability. This way you will continue to feel happier and changes will continue in the long term.

Your unique view on ecology is very inspiring to hear and invites action.
