How Can You Become A Better Consumer?

by Anne-Maria Yritys, posted in Change Leadership, climate action, climate leadership, Global Climate Change

You don’t always have to buy clothes. You can receive clothes as gifts, through recycling or just find clothes outdoors, in nature; earlier this year, I found a pair of sports shorts outdoors, which still had a price tag on them. Today, I found a pair of Regatta ́s Pack It black outdoor trousers, perfectly suitable. Now I ́ll just wash them and use them.

 

I have also found sunglasses, cycling glasses, torches and cash (money) outdoors this year. Is there something our environment wants to tell me by sending me all these free gifts?

 

At least it is highly recommended to keep both your eyes and your other senses open while outdoors, as you never know what you will encounter or find.

 

Recycling is no longer a trend, but a necessity for all human beings.

 

Our Earth can no longer take human greed and a desire for overconsumption of poor-quality goods. The global garment industry is one of the worst environmental polluters beside agriculture and fossil fuels.

 

Therefore, it is highly recommended to consider what kinds of textiles to use, and whether you always have to buy first hand instead of buying second hand clothes. Or, does one ́s closet have to be full of unnecessary clothes when one can live with less than? There is nothing worse than people buying poor-quality clothes and textiles, especially when most of these dust in the closet and go unused. Or, when textiles are being thrown away instead of being recycled.

 

For instance H&M has for a long time already been recycling textiles and clothes, and it is possible to recycle usable clothes e.g. through UFF unless one wants to try to sell them second hand.

============================
 
Vaatteita ei välttämättä tarvitse aina ostaa. Niitä voi saada joko lahjaksi, kierrätyksen kautta tai sitten löytää ulkoa luonnosta: kesällä löysin ulkoa yhdet juuri sopivat urheilushortsit, täysin käyttämättömät (hintalappu oli vielä kiinni). Tänään löysin ulkona kävellessäni Regattan Pack It vedenpitävät, mustat ulkoiluhousut, pakattuina vedenpitävään kangaspussukkaan. Nekin istuvat juuri sopivasti. Ei muuta kuin pesukoneen kautta käyttöön 🙂
 
Olen tänä vuonna löytänyt ulkoa myös yhdet aurinkolasit ja yhdet ajolasit/pyöräilylasit, pari toimivaa taskulamppua, käteistä rahaa ym.
 
Yrittääköhän ympäristö viestittää minulle jotain, antaen minulle lahjaksi käyttämättömiä ja juuri sopivasti istuvia vaatteita?
 
Ainakin kannattaa pitää silmät auki ja muutkin aistit avoinna ulkona liikkuessaan, ikinä kun ei tiedä mitä siellä tulee vastaan. 🙂
 
Kierrätys ei enää tänä päivänä ole trendi, vaan välttämättömyys kaikille ihmisille.
 
Maapallomme ei kestä ihmisten ahneutta ja kulutushysteriaa, tai huonolaatuisia tuotteita. Vaateteollisuus on yksi pahimmista ympäristön saastuttajista maatalouden ja fossiilisten polttoaineiden lisäksi.
 
Kannattaa siis miettiä millaisia tekstiilejä käyttää ja tarvitseeko aina ostaa uutta, vai voisiko löytää hyvälaatuisia vaatteita myös kierrätettyinä. Tai pitääkö vaatekaapin olla pullollaan kun vähempikin riittäisi. Kaikista pahinta on kaiketi, kun ihmiset ostavat huonolaatuisia vaatteita, joita kaappi on pullollaan ja kun ne kaiken lisäksi jäävät käyttämättä. Tai kun heitetään roskiin tekstiilejä.
 
Esim. H&M on jo pitkään ottanut vastaan kierrätystekstiilejä ja vaatteita + käyttökelpoisia vaatteita voi viedä esim. UFF:n keräykseen ellei niitä halua tai jaksa yrittää myydä kirpparilla.

Who Cares About Yemen´s Starvation?

by Anne-Maria Yritys, posted in Change Leadership, human rights, Universal Human Rights

Every 10 minutes a child dies in Yemen due to malnutrition/no food/related diseases. Please try to remember this every time you feel like complaining about minor things.

There are millions of people in this world who would be grateful to have even a tiny slice of what you have, even if you are not rich.

If you have a roof over your head, food to eat every day, clean water, and clothes to wear you are wealthier than most people on this planet.

Please share to spread awareness.

Any comments on this serious issue are more than welcome.

 

Yémen : “Un enfant meurt toutes les dix minutes”, alerte l’Unicef

================================================================
Für diejenigen, die weder Französisch noch Englisch verstehen: in Jemen stirbt alle 10 Minuten ein Kind vor Hunger. Versuch Dich immer daran zu erinnern, bevor Du Dich über etwas beschwerst. Es gibt Millionen von Menschen auf der Erde die glücklich wären, hätten sie nur ein wenig davon was Du hast. Ein Dach über den Kopf, etwas zu essen jeden Tag, sauberes Wasser zu trinken und etwas zum anziehen. Anne-Maria Yritys

Why is World Energy Demand Growing?

by Anne-Maria Yritys, posted in Change Leadership, climate action, Global Climate Change

Global demand for energy grows and increases due to:

  1. Rapidly growing world population, estimated to reach 10 billion (10.000.000.000) by 2050, unless something drastic occurs.
  2. Growing middle class and an increase in wealth in countries like India and China
  3. Powerless countries and regions gaining access to energy through renewables, especially solar energy.

According to OPEC, even traditional oil producing countries have for long already been investing heavily into renewable energy sources, and have acknowledged the importance of reducing traditional energy sources including fossil fuels.

The faster the transition to renewable energy sources, the faster we can move away from fossil fuels that according to vast research around our globe are the main source of greenhouse gases that lead to the greenhouse effect that is raising the average temperatures on Earth.

Why Twitter is a Great Source for Organic Web Traffic

by Anne-Maria Yritys, posted in Change Leadership, Digital Marketing, social media marketing, Social media networking

As an experienced Twitter user and someone who has been using Twitter actively for several years already, I know not only from personal experience but from discussions with other Twitter users that Twitter is the main source of organic web traffic for many. Depending upon your target markets, Twitter is certainly a social media channel for digital entrepreneurs and marketers, and anyone who wants to build an online business.

Why is that?

As the map below indicates, the web traffic to annemariayritys.com expands almost the whole world, with the largest audience and most website visitors from the United States of America. Most of this organic web traffic stems from Twitter.
