365 Sustainable Decisions Challenge

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of showing how AI can be hacked. A very important topic: with the EU's new AI law, companies that neglect their cybersecurity risk fines of up to 15 million euros or 3% of their global annual turnover. 🔐 Is your company already using artificial intelligence? Then now is the right time to think about security. A big thank you to Speakers Excellence for organizing such a great event, Jana Kulhavy for the excellent moderation, and to fellow speakers Dr. Marc Maisch and Roger Basler de Roca for their super important contributions!

  🔥 The ground in the Netherlands is in trouble. Here is why: 🇳🇱 Most people don’t see it—but the Netherlands has one of the highest nitrogen levels in Europe. The cause is a combination of intensive farming, heavy traffic, and industrial activity. These release nitrogen into the air, which returns to the ground through rain. 🌱 This causes sensitive ecosystems such as heathlands to suffer. Plants like heather get pushed out by fast-growing grasses. Wildlife disappears. And the risk of wildfires grows. 🌍 That is why The Netherlands is acting: 🔸 Reducing livestock numbers 🔸 Restoring nature reserves 🔸 Supporting more sustainable farming 🔸 Reducing maximum speed on motorways 💚 Nature thrives when we restore balance - and every step we take brings us closer.

 ✨ On my nature walk, I found a handkerchief; with some magic, I make it vanish before your eyes! A perfect way to contribute to today's #EarthDay! 🧙‍♂️ And watch closely, because it’s not just the handkerchief that disappears - the disturbing litter as well! 🌿 Every piece of trash I pick up while enjoying these beautiful landscapes helps protect nature. Litter may seem harmless, but it can be a serious threat to wildlife and ecosystems. By picking up trash, we not only keep nature looking at its best, but we also prevent harm to animals and plants. 💚 Every small action counts when it comes to preserving the beauty of our planet! 🎩 And what do you think of using magic to visualize how much more beautiful nature is without litter? I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts in the comments! Video: https://youtu.be/2xlzteoxm-A

  🌿 Yesterday, someone made my day. They messaged me: "Damn. Now you’ve done it and inspired me … and that on my holiday. 😂 Collected these on a beautiful spot." 📷 Attached was a photo of litter they’d picked up. 💚 Moments like these remind me: every small action we take for the planet can spark change beyond what we see. ✨ Let’s keep inspiring each other. One small act at a time.

  🦋 Back in February 2024, I found myself captivated by one of nature’s most extraordinary travelers: the monarch butterfly. 🧳 Their epic migration, spanning up to 4,000 kilometers from Canada and the U.S. to the forests of central Mexico, is breathtaking. And fascinating: It takes up to five generations of butterflies to complete this journey each year! ‼️ But this incredible journey is now in danger. The monarch butterfly was listed as endangered in 2022, with populations having plummeted by as much as 80% in just a decade. The triple threat of climate change, pollution, and habitat loss is pushing them closer to extinction. 🌺 This is critical, because monarchs are pollinators. This means that as migrate, they help plants reproduce, spread seeds, and build biodiversity — all essential for a healthy environment and resilient food systems. ✒️ Because I was captivated, I wrote an article about these fascinating creatures, sharing not only their story but also ways we can hel...

Recently, we organized a local cleanup event to contribute to a healthier planet. To thank all the amazing participants, I prepared a surprise. Here’s what happened: A few months ago, I came up with the idea to accompany my sustainability presentations with magic. Magic helps to visualize my messages, making them easier to understand and remember. And because magic is fun and unexpected, they really stick with people—amplifying the positive impact! Since magic is a skill that requires lots of practice, I decided to do my very first live performance for my litter-picking friends. I was super excited, and while it wasn’t perfect yet, they loved it! Their applause and laughter during my 4.5-minute performance showed me the effort was totally worth it! (In the picture, I just let a handkerchief vanish!) What do you think of using magic to help inspire the message for a healthier planet? What message would you make magical? I’d love to hear your ideas in the comments!  

  💚 Today we received our 400th thank you while picking up litter! And you know what? Not a single person has ever said we should stop. That says something powerful. People notice. People care. People want a cleaner, healthier planet. Every time we pick up trash, we’re not just cleaning—we’re connecting. With nature. With each other. With ourselves. With the shared belief that our actions matter. We will keep going and would love you to join, even if it only the street you live in. 🌍 Because small actions, done by many, create big change.
