Beach Shell Count First time in the Netherlands
On March 23, several Dutch nature organizations held a shell count on eight beaches in the Netherlands. Hundreds of people, including many families, counted a total of over 34,000 shells.
Makeconscious choices
By making conscious choices, we can make a difference together. For example, vote for a green party that is committed to a better living environment for people and nature. Your eating habits also affect nature worldwide. By making plant-based food choices, you reduce greenhouse gas emissions, such as CO2. So choose plant-based options whenever possible. Also, look critically at where you put your money. Among other things, you can opt for a bank that invests sustainably and has an eye for the interests of people, animals and nature.
