Is online shopping sustainable?
I personally considered Online shopping to be very sustainable. Saving a trip to the store and getting some serious discount was the highlight for online shoppers. I stopped buying online lately due bad experience with the quality of the product but I always thought that at least it saves you time via e-commerce. But what […]
Reduction in consumption of meat might be a good idea!
I know that the post image might tempt people to eat some meat right now. But as I have written few posts before about how the meat industry is kind of more responsible for the pollution around the world. Documentaries like ‘Cowspiracy’ and ‘Food Inc’ are worth watching for some reason. Deforestation is done also […]
Ever heard of: Carbon Conversations!
This is my second post of ‘Ever heard of’. The first one was based on Sustainable goals by UN. Today I would like to talk about Carbon Conversations. We were suppose to have a small ‘talk’ on it by one professor from Hamburg today but it got cancelled for some reason. I hope the ‘seminar’ […]

Couple of days I went to check out this expo which is quite famous in Italy to showcase all the companies which are doing business in Sustainability. This was the fourth edition.

Last time I wrote about documentaries on Sustainability. Today I am writing about which cities are considered to be more sustainable. The three sub-indices each city was measured on can be further broken down into the following indicators: 1) Profit – business performance, transport infrastructure, ease of doing business, the city’s importance in global economic […]

In these summer holidays where I should be little bit focused on Maths ( I have one exam left in Sept.) all I do is watch Vikings. It is quite a show. Must watch. Then I wondered that it’s been a while that I haven’t seen any documentary and to top that a friend of […]

Thoughts on EuroEnviro by Maxsim Dimitrov
I am going to be honest, I had no major expectations about EuroEnviro. After all if the world-renown experts have not solved the problem, how can a group of 60ish students (even some workers and Ph.D. candidates) is going to unravel the Gordian knot? Turns out I have been looking on the issue from the […]
