Action against poverty [challenge]

As more and more Dutch households struggle to make ends meet each month, this challenge offers you the chance to make a difference for those in your community who are facing tough times. Why it matters: With the increasing costs of energy and inflation, many Dutch families are finding it increasingly difficult to meet their basic needs like a warm home, a hot meal, or access to education. If everyone lends a helping hand, together we can make a big impact on many people's lives. This is crucial because over 1 million Dutch people are currently living around the poverty line. What you'll do: ✅ Learn: Gain additional information on why, what, and how to combat poverty. ✅ Take action: We've compiled 9 practical steps that you can take today, in just an hour (or a bit more), to combat poverty in your neighborhood. So, do you have an hour to spare? Sign up for this challenge against poverty in the Netherlands! #administration #buddy #debt #help

Are you aware of the distinction between honey bees and wild bees? Honey bees reside in hives tended by beekeepers and produce honey. On the other hand, wild bees inhabit natural habitats and play a crucial role in pollinating plants and flowers, aiding in the growth of vegetables, fruits, and other edible crops. Despite there being 358 species of wild bees in the Netherlands, they are facing challenges... but fortunately, there's something we can do to help! Would you like to contribute by creating a Bee Hotel or Bee Bed & Breakfast in your garden for these vital pollinators? Sign up, and we'll guide you through the process of easily constructing your own bee B&B. This challenge is also a wonderful activity to enjoy with kids!

You're guaranteed a delightful afternoon, with the sea, sand, and a positive impact (provided the weather cooperates!). Plus, you'll learn something new. Have you ever heard of knotweed? Or spotted a hermit crab? With Het Groene Strand's new search map and app, you can discover the various plants and animals that inhabit the beach. Click 'I'm in' to get started!

Make a double impact by recycling your plastic bottle for a good cause! You're probably aware that there's a deposit on all plastic bottles nowadays. Recycling is a great idea regardless, but it's especially meaningful when it supports a good cause. That's why there are special bins in many locations across the Netherlands where you can immediately contribute to a good cause with your bottle deposit. For instance, consider supporting organizations like Stichting Jarige Job, which provides birthday boxes for children who might not otherwise celebrate their birthdays. Every year, 80,000 children get to enjoy their special day! Or you could support the Plastic Whale Foundation, which encourages recycling through "plastic fishing" trips across the Netherlands (thus completing the circle with your plastic bottle donation). Will you join us? Sign up below with your email address, without any obligation. This way, we'll know that you're making an impact, and we can provide you with more information about where to deposit your 'donation'. Thank you in advance!

Long and hot showers... sometimes so wonderful, but it's not good for the planet, your skin and your wallet 😉. Gas is required to heat your shower water. The longer and hotter the shower, the more gas you use. On average, people in the Netherlands shower for about 8 minutes. If you were to shorten this to 5 minutes, you could save around 35 euros per year on your energy bill. This amount could increase significantly if you live with multiple people or if you tend to shower for longer than 8 minutes. ⁣ ⁣ So, it's time to step out of your comfort zone and join the sustainable showering challenge. ⁣ ⁣ 🌍 What are the benefits? Participating in this challenge is beneficial for your health, your wallet, and most importantly, for our planet. ⁣ ⁣ 🚿You can take individual action You can opt for a shorter shower, a cold shower, or simply shower less frequently. It's all possible. ⁣ ⁣ Click the 'I'm in' button below, and we'll provide you with excellent tips to reduce your gas consumption!
