May Camp: Schiermonnikoog
In the middle of May we went to Schiermonnikoog. The weather was great and it was a very relaxing trip, but we also worked hard to clean the beach of any plastic we found. That was mostly ropes from fishing. We watched the Eurovision Song Contest together and even though we did not all agree that Sweden was the best, we did have a great night and the party lasted until well in the morning.. The last day we spend cleaning the house and sitting in the sun while enjoying the leftover banana pancakes. Thanks to all the lovely members that went to the camp, it was an amazing weekend!

Sustainable Movie Night + Discussion
We watched the documentary Just Eat It: A Food Waste Story.
"We all love food. As a society, we devour countless cooking shows, culinary magazines and foodie blogs. So how could we possibly be throwing nearly 50% of it in the trash?"
Just Eat It is a 74-minute documentary film about food waste and food rescue by Silvapark Films in partnership with British Columbia's Knowledge Network. After watching the movie we talked about our own behaviour and ways to prevent food waste.

Tree harvesting with Meer Bomen Nu
On the 10th of November, we went tree harvesting in the Stadspark with volunteers from MeerBomenNu. Tree harvesting might not sound sustainable to you, but the unwanted harvested trees can now be replanted somewhere where they are wanted instead of being cut down by the municipality. The weather was great and we were able to get a lot done in only one morning. We enjoyed a nice lunch, petted some very cute goats, and afterwards harvested a lot of raspberry bushes before going home again. Think this sounds great? Become a volunteer here.
