Help stop deep sea-mining before it starts : Just sign💚

The deep ocean is one of the world’s largest, most fragile, and most important ecosystems. We need a global moratorium to stop the launch of this destructive new extractive industry.

Happy to see that people are still enthusiastic to host a screening of my film Normal Is Over, this time in a Cinema in Belgium:)

Normal Is Over” is an award-winning documentary by Renée Scheltema about humanity’s wisest response to climate change, species extinction, resource depletion, income inequality, and the link between these issues.
This independent film also investigates the financial paradigm underlying our ( broken) economic growth system.
This is a globe- trotting journey searching for ecological SOLUTIONS!

The message today is just as relevant as it was years ago. Those interested are welcome to host a screening.

Hello all, just to let you know I am busy with a new documentary. It is about a mother, grieving the loss of the one daughter, filming the healing journey of the other and discovering that in mending their bond, they also reveal how humanity might reconnect with the Earth itself.
Please give your support via our foundation, which is in the US and The Netherlands:

This is not AI.
This beautifull and yet pathetic picture of an elephant wading through toxic waste, is called “Toxic Tip" and made by photographer Laksh*tha Karunarathna from Sri Lanka.
In his land of birth, you see a ‘landfill site’ situated next to a nature reserve where about 300 elephants roam
