Action against poverty [challenge]

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!

Recycle and donate

Once · 0 to 1 hours

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.

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.
