So it is possible

Humanity today faces one life-size question: can we turn the tide, and if so, can we turn it in time? Moreover, how can we present a united front to confront the climate crisis, both politically and socially? These questions are crucial, and at the same time they are so big that they are paralyzing for many people.

Shale gas in 1 hour and 43 minutes

Since 1948, more than 3,300 wells have been drilled in Dutch soil. Resulting in the earthquakes in Groningen in 2014. Shale gas extraction potentially involves drilling more than 10,000 new wells in a short period of time. According to proponents of drilling for (shale) gas, you should stay away from fault lines. So why was a permit for the municipality of Boxtel, located on a fault line, applied for and granted anyway?

poisoned

As a consumer, you trust that the products you eat, drink, use and offer your children and environment are safe. You trust companies not to poison you, but to act morally in the best interest of the customer. Should they not, there is a government to intervene. Unfortunately, companies and governments have been letting us down for decades, with ever-increasing consequences.
