👉🏽 A week ago, I went to Trooz in Wallonia to help clean up some of the rubble caused by the massive floodings. Seeing the destruction with your own eyes, it's really something..

💙 But, it was SO amazing to see just how many people came out to help! Some for one day, some every day of the week - solidarity isn't dead peeps! So I'm posting this in the hopes that some of you will be inspired to go help too!

🗑@rivercleanup & all the people affected could really use your help! It will at least take months before everything is cleaned up & then the reconstruction still has to begin. Also, the more waste & rubbish we can collect from the waterways, the better!

👐🏽 Thanks @rivercleanup for organising this! They go twice a week to affected areas and they provide free transport - so if you can, please sign up! ✊🏽 Loved having you there as my clean up warrior @laurafromthedesert 😎 ...

🥲 Earlier this week, the biggest report on climate change to date was published by the IPCC. Realizing the threat of climate change is undoubtedly scary, creating feelings of #ecoanxiety and hopelessness.. this week, I felt tired & negative too - staying positive really isn't that easy.

👉🏽 Why? Its annoying to think or realize that your individual actions (sometimes) don't weigh up to the actions of big corporations. Then there's also the fact that poverty, discrimination & living situations restrain people from having certain choices. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐈 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞'𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐟 𝐢𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐲!

👉🏽 Instead of beating ourselves up or judging others, we can choose the most meaningful actions that are doable for us. Go plantbased, vote with ya money, reduce flying, reduce overconsumption... everyones capability is different - you should find the ways that work for you and your lifestyle. And if it's too overwhelming, reach out to your community. You're never alone in this!

🌍🤌🏽 Let's freaking look after this planet, keep raising our voices and demand a damn change!! We got this, you got this, I got this - swipe to see some more tips ✊🏽 What are you going to do or try even more? Let me know below & inspire each other 🌞 Moenia ...

🌗 I love this image. It shows exactly how we should be living, instead of how we've been living. We’ve been destroying rain forests, polluting our land and water, emitting tons of toxic waste, overconsuming and so on. Our planet & ecosystems literally can't keep up anymore. #climatechange is very, very real.

🌋 In the last month, extreme weather has hit across the world. Which is so devastating & frightning to see, I know 😔 From extreme heat & wildfires to massive floods, our planet is showing us that time's up. Something climate scientists have long predicted. With the new IPCC report, it's more clear than ever that we're in the midst of an emergency. A crisis that finally has to be treated as a crisis!

🌍 But I’m still keeping positive, I have to! I see a shift in how people and businesses are treating our planet. A slow but steady change of perspective. We have to look after this planet like it's our home, which is the only way to avoid most of the drastic consequences we're facing. It's now we need to keep raising our voices, demand change & learn how to live more out of eco than out of ego 🖖🏼🌻✊🏽 #ecossentials 📸 unknown ...

🤳🏽 Some shots from the past Sunday Market @yust.housing ! A market full of awesome Antwerp entrepreneurs, sharing their passion. I absolutely love spreading the ecossentials message offline, it's really one of the things I enjoy the most! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🕺🏽 Meeting all of you at events and talking to customers about my mission gives me the best feeling. It's exhausting (a whole day by myself) but oh so rewarding. Thank you for passing by, asking questions, buying products and starting a sustainable lifestyle - you make a happy girl out of this lil' bean 🌞 #ecossentials

🧴After a long search for a new sustainable, refillable dry shampoo made in Europe, I’ve finally found one for you! This 100% natural, vegan & refillable dry shampoo from @puremetics is a life saver & many of you liked it so far! This Dry Shampoo makes sure you can go that extra day without washing your hair & without putting any nasty chemicals into your hair.

•• The formula absorbs excess oils from the scalp and leaves your hair looking and feeling revived and refreshed between washes. It's made from a combination of plant powders and has two heavenly scents, which will leave your hair smelling damn freshhh 🍒

•• On top of that, it has a sustainable, refillable packaging. The golden shaker tin is not only handy, but looks beautiful in any bathroom too. Is your tin empty? Simply buy the dry shampoo refill packs!

💆🏽‍♀️ Go to 'shampoo' or 'hair care' to discover the range, for dark & light hair! You'll find a 'how to use' description & more information on the product page ✌🏻 #ecossentials ...

... and this means we’ve consumed our global natural resource budget for 2021. And humanity only needed 7 months to do so! Right now, we are consuming resources that were supposed to last for generations to come. Basically, we're living on a planet borrowed from the future 🙃

🥴 #ecoanxiety, you're hitting hard! I know it can be overwhelming to think about the various global impacts such as climate change, biodiversity loss, mass pollution, and extreme weather events (to name a few). But I still believe that through wise, forward-looking decisions, we can turn around natural resource consumption trends while improving the quality of life for all people 🙌🏽

✊🏽 But we can't do it alone! What we need now is a strong political will and decisive action. We need to put even more pressure on companies and on our governments, our supposed chosen changemakers. Over and over, until we see change. We must all get involved, in any way we can, 'cause we can't wait any longer. Our planet can't wait any longer.

🌍 #letsmovethedate together! Signing the #climatechangers petition, an initiative by @oxfam.be to pressure our climate ministers at the upcoming COP, can already help! And choosing for a more sustainable lifestyle, even step by step, creates impact our planet needs 🌞 #ecossentials
