Waarom dit e-book? Iedereen kan met kleine aanpassingen in zijn of haar consumptiegedrag bijdragen aan een “betere wereld”. Ik geloof er immers in dat alle beetjes helpen, hoe klein deze ook mogen zijn. Het begint echter bij bewustwording. Daarom heb ik dit e-book samengesteld met 30 duurzame, maar vooral inspirerende citaten. Eén citaat per pagina, zodat je maar één pagina hoeft te printen om jouw favoriete quote op een mooi plekje te kunnen hangen.
Hartelijke groet,
Maureen Mulder

Over Think Ecodesign
Think Ecodesign is opgericht door Maureen Mulder en is ontstaan vanuit haar persoonlijke missie:
Ik, Maureen, geloof in een gelukkige en gezonde toekomst voor mezelf en anderen, waarin iedereen bewust is van al het moois op deze aarde. Om haar persoonlijke missie uit te dragen houdt Maureen een ECO-blog bij, waarin zij blogt over duurzame (en soms ook persoonlijke) onderwerpen die haar bezig houden.

Daarnaast heeft Maureen een webshop in duurzame tassen. Een betere wereld begint bij jezelf. Alle kleine beetjes helpen, dus ook de bewuste keuze voor een duurzame tas. Maureen houdt van tassen die niet alleen praktisch zijn, maar ook stoer, elegant en modieus en dit zie je dan ook terug in de webshop. Op www.ecodesigntassen.nl kun je niet alleen terecht als je een tas voor jezelf zoekt, maar ook voor laptop tassen, laptop- en tablet hoezen, en telefoonhoesjes. Alle eco tassen zijn gemaakt van gerecyclede of hergebruikte materialen. Ze zijn van hoge kwaliteit, geproduceerd onder goede arbeidsomstandigheden en in kleine oplages. Vanwege de gebruikte materialen zijn vele exemplaren one-of-a-kind.
