Commitments

August 30th, 2010 No comments

Sometimes I have those evening that I get re-inspired about my work in the world and the people that stand by my side and do even bigger work. Last night that was Jason Clay, WWF vice-president who “works with big corporations to transform the global markets they operate in, so we can produce more with less land, less water and less pollution.”

Watch this and get inspired by the entrepreneurial commitment to changing the world, with bold courage and open thinking.

Who will follow up his work, and how can we support this great effort?

 

After getting incredibly inspired I take responsibility as a consumer and I commit to the following:

Buy only vegetarian, organic & natural food

Buy as local as possible, make a real effort

Always buy the the fair trade alternative

Buy nothing that I don’t need

Always separate and reduce my waste

Recycle as much as possible

Minimize water and energy usage

Buy only natural cosmetics and detergents

Share sustainable solutions and practices with my network

Inspire others to take initiative

Join as many global actions as possible

Organise and support local events and actions


What else should or could I commit to? Invite me in the comments!

Arrived in Sweden

Dear friends and followers,

After a very convenient drive up north, leaving Amsterdam yesterday at 05:30 and arriving in Ytterjärna at 21:00 I found myself in my new house surrounded by quite a number of young people from many countries, all joining the Youth Initiative Program with me. I haven’t met them all yet, the celebration and opening will take place this afternoon, but I will be getting to know them, as I will be living together with them for a year!

On of the things I have decided for this blog is that I will only post short messages. I also don’t like reading long stories on the web. If you want to follow me visit this blog once in a while or find me on one of those other networks.

First blog post of my life!

Dear friends,

This is the first blog post of my life, I hope the first of many! I started this blog to inform everyone in my network about the work that I am doing and to share my inspiration with the rest of the world. In this blog I will be posting ideas and stories worth sharing, and my reflections on my life as what they call a social entrepeneur; an entrepeneur without money.

Thanks for your interest!

Pieter
