"@Juffrouw Kachel I once took my two vegetarian friends with me to the Mont Ventoux and we ate at a restaurant on the way, ordering 'les petits gris', thinking this was fish. So to say shrimps. When it got on the table it seemed they were snails.. and my friends ate them! And I asked: how can this food be typed? Is this a vegetarian meal or not?"October 22 2012 on Be a Plant-Eater for one month. No meat, no dairy products....
Why think small? Find out which of the Millennium Development Goals are lacking behind on schedule (my gosh, 2 years and 2 months left until 2015!). Then try to give one of those goals a big boost! Invent your own creative and fun solution to this particular global challenge, and 'test' this on a tiny scale, here or elsewhere. October 17 2012
"Eh.. as a non-vegeterian.. I see a lot of discussion here and the word 'vegan'.. which makes me think of the vegan streaker some time ago at Paul de Leeuw. Sorry for this funny association which has no relation tot being vegetarian at all. Nice act for Maarten at a rich Christmas dinner with too much meat anyway? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVOIY-5YQPw "October 15 2012 on Be a Plant-Eater for one month.

"I agree with Firma Fluitekruid.. Maarten is not a rabbit! And o well he will miss his Christmas dinner maybe. But if this idea will be the number one to do, than I have a good friend who can advise you during that month."October 14 2012 on Be a Plant-Eater for one month. No meat, no dairy products....
Be a Plant-Eater for one month. No meat, no dairy products. Google/YouTube on 'PlantenEter' and you will get inspiration. You will do good for your own health as well as the health of the planet and mankind. Chance that you will continue after one month is rather big. Making it a good investment into a new and better lifestyle. October 14 2012

A huuuuuge painting in Rotterdam on the side of a building in a not so attractive neighbourhood, where LOVE would be written in all languages spoken in Rotterdam! involve the locals for more love messages on the wall.... August 23 2012

Not to listen to your spouse for 1 month, just doing the thing that you really believe in.. and later making this up by one fantastic weekend for just the two of you! You can tell all the things that you have learned. August 21 2012
"Well.. I think this is not a very good idea. I love restaurants where they promote that you eat all that you order or you must pay extra.. It's a bit cheap the American way of not being civilized: to order a doggybag because you order too much standard or the meals are too big standard. I love the European way: small meals, you eat everything you order.. neatly!"August 21 2012 on Start a campaign to reduce the waste of good food: create awareness...
Start a campaign to reduce the waste of good food: create awareness of all the delicious food that is thrown away at restaurants every day and promote the use of 'doggy bags' (taboo in NL, very normal everywhere else ;)!) August 21 2012

Zou het niet fantastisch zijn om wat op deze site gebeurt, live toe te passen in overheidsland? Wat zou er gebeuren als beleid maken niet meer op kantoor gebeurt, maar gewoon door mensen zelf? Ik denk dat de wereld er dan een stuk mooier uit komt te zien! August 21 2012

I love challenges, new ideas and looking across the border, discovering new areas of interest, new people and new perspectives. I have a great ability to connect different perspectives, different people and different interests and bring them to a larger plan, a greater vision or perspective. I love to build complex projects, just adding simple plans together and giving them a more important meaning.

Iwanttomaketheworldabetterplace is a great place to meet other worldimprovers and a great initiative! I really believe that the world can be a better place just by starting small and adding your own vision.

All the things you do to make the world better, to help others and to make live more beautiful do really matter. They make the difference between right and wrong, hope or despair, something broken or something new. Shortly a civil society in which you feel safe, loved, valued and free.

World improvers belong naturally to the innovators and early adaptors of change. They know deep inside that their added value is to be truely themselves and just to add small differences in this world. Being true to themselves and others they bring happiness, hope and empowerment. More important is that they believe in the power of social media, just asking others to help and have no feeling of being better than others. Everyone is as important as you are!
