Resources

Natural resources are being "stolen" (bought for a rediculusly cheap price) from the countries that have them, and developed in competitive productions to ensure flooding markets because some must afford it. Ind the end because we dont want to move, or exhaust ourselves.

Food:

There is so much food and so many different kinds of food and so many different recipes for food and so many people with a BMI over 25.... and so many hungry people in the world. Feel the shame in your stomachs.

Water:

A bottle of clean water 500 ml can cost up 4$ in a tankstation. That is twice as much as Benzin?????
We drink it, we waste it, we get it from the tap and there are still people who walk 3 miles to get their water (semi clean).
Question: If we drink the water that our ancestor used to drink 3000 years ago, would we die?????

Waste / Garbage

Where does it endin the end? a) in the air? b) in the sea? or c) in the earth? choose your element!

And a poem of Energy

We burn to get heat
(and that makes sence),
we burn to to burn,
we burn to move,
to roll, to fly,
to float, and dive,
we burn to see,
we burn to see more,
we burn to know,
we burn to read,
we burn to write,
we burn to clean,
and we burn to eat and drink,
and when we get tired of burning for a reason,
we burn for fun,
for decoration of the sky,
as if the stars aren't decoration enough?

But what is it we burn?
We burn the ground we stand on
and we burn the heart of it
and the shell around it?
sometimes we burn soo much of it
to leave it
and look for other things
we can burn.

Will we ever burn enough,
or will we ever burn so much
that we don't have to burn anymore?

  1. Hi Mohamed,

    I have a utopian idea to make sure there is enough water and food for everyone: everyone on the earth should become a vegetarian! I know it's completely impossible, but it actually would help quite a lot. First of all, an enormous amount of water and energy is wasted in the production of food. It puts a big stress on the environment. And secondly, if we gave all the grain that we now use to feed the animals we are going to eat, to poor and hungry people instead, there would be a lot less hunger in the world.

    But I am aware that this is purely hypothetical, this will never happen. But what we can do, is all contribue a little bit by eating a vegetarian meal once per week. In Belgium we call this 'thursday, veggieday'. Someone who alters between meat, fish and vegetarian meals is called a flexitarian. So, who wants to join the flexitarian club to live a little more sustainably? : )

    Greetings,
    Lola

  2. Hi Mohamed
    Art is very good in teaching - makes you understand and reflect. When you are teaching do not forget to include the basic knowledge.
