Living off grid – an alternative way of living
In the past, long before the complexities of financial systems and modern conveniences, humans relied on natural resources to survive. We would collect water from streams and wells, grow our own food and build our own shelters from the materials we could find. We were completely independent. Nowadays, we rely on public resources.

The impact of our digital waste
Today, more and more things are being dematerialized. Our photos, our films and music, as well as all our paper documents.

Planting and cutting down our biggest life support
Trees are the symbols of nature and life. We all know that they give us our oxygen and are nice to look at. There is one day where we come together, appreciate the living creatures, and give some of them a new home: Arbor Day. On the other 364 days, humans are busy deforesting the…

“You’re too confident” – okay, and?
What is self-confidence? It is a characteristic of someone who believes in their abilities and is convinced of their worth, behaving assertively and decisively. We, as women, entangled in the stereotype of the “weaker sex,” easily lose faith in ourselves. Without exercising strength and mental resilience to shatter prejudices and stereotypes, we will be afraid…

Having an Idea
Since our early ages, we are always asked a question. These questions, which can sometimes decide how our lives will be shaped, have become increasingly important. But do you think the important thing is to give any answer? Or is it important to form our own opinion? When I say forming our own opinion, I…
