Finished a great #zoomclass in the Sustainability and Environmental Change Minor here at @VUamsterdam today!What was supposed to be a 30min feedback session, turned into an 1.5 hour of in depth questions and great recommendations on how we can decrease our land footprint.
The students have shown good knowledge on what drives land use change, but were shocked at the impact of beef and dairy...especially cheese always disappoints them - particularly the Dutch students :) #justdutchthings
I was positively surprised on their willingness to change their diets to decrease their land, carbon and water footprint.And how disappointed they were in EU governments by not informing the citizens on the negative effects of the meat and dairy industry (also beyond EU borders)
The best recommendation of the day from one student: drink wine instead of coffee to reduce your environmental #footprint :) joke aside, we all should be better informed of how we impact the environment in our every day lives!
