Why? What? How?
I always had the feeling i'm not doing enough with my life. Eventhough i'm an idealist, I never know where to start in making the world a better place because it seems there is so much to do. So if you have an idea, tell me about it. I will execute the most popular idea of each month for one year! I'm a puppet to your ideals!
Credits Thanks to all the members! and Bart, Thierry, Davide, Ingetje, Paul, Philipp, Yichun, Rick, Mark, my family and everybody else for helping out.

How are you doing Maarten. Can you tell a bit about your experiences and your thoughts about PlantEating? How is your surroundings reacting on you. Do you feel a difference, although only 3 weeks going.
There are some good reasons:
1. the environment
2. sharing equally once we don't produce meat/dairy anymore
3. reducing starvation by not producing meat/dairy anymore
4. personal health
Maybe you can split your writing up in these 4 sub-subjects. :)
Thanks for asking Hans, I'm planning to share my experiences soon, especially since it's been a very good one until now.
And maybe Hans you will be pleased to know that Maarten has already been sharing his experiences in several places, just maybe not so much online ;)
He has, for instance, shared yesterday with a group of my (/our) friends and we 've had a very inspiring afternoon!
He did a wonderful job, even though he's way too modest about what he's doing and the impact he thinks it has :)
Please feel free to share whatever you like Maarten, just like yesterday. Remember what Dave posted a while ago: don't try doing/ being anything, just be yourself!
I still had to thank you for your talk at the TEDxYouth @ Delft, where I attended. I enjoyed your speech a great deal - hence my appearance on your site, and I admire your simple but in so many ways effective ideas. You know the butterfly effect says the swoosh of a butterfly's wings can cause a tornado at the other end of the world. It are the little things that make the difference. Big things will likely not happen, the little ones will :) Go on!
I love watching TedTalks, searched for Maartens, but didn't find it yet.
I'm glad that you spread the message, really nice. If I lived closer, I would absolutely attend some of them. Denmark is a bit far away. :) Online is my only possibility to be with (all of) you. ;)
Thanks all, currently it's not out of shyness that I'm not sharing so much but because of a busy agenda :-) Happy you enjoyed the TEDx talk Arlette, so did I! Hans, it's not currently online yet, but I did just see a talk that I did a month ago in Utrecht that got online :-)
