PEOPLE

What do Kashmir's comments trigger in you?

Who can you talk to about this?

3.

PROSPERITY

Being known as a sustainable company or product has also become a form of advertising.

What are the advantages for a company or product to be called 'sustainable'?

Can you give examples of this? And do all these companies really live up to their sustainability promises?

To what extent do you check the advertising on a package or of a company? Do you check the story behind it? And how reliable is it?

Tip: Google figures (energy companies percentage of green electricity, Shell, becoming CO2 neutral) and sustainable labels in the supermarket.

PLACE

There is a lot of fake news in the world. Do you always check your sources? Which sources do you find reliable and why?

By using smart algorithms and cookies, companies such as Facebook, Google and Whatsapp select and show you messages which they think will interest you. As a result, you may receive one-sided news items. Arjan Lubach calls this the myth trap. Are you aware of the possible influence of pre-selected messages?

What could you do yourself, at home or at school to use energy more sustainably?
