Not all that’s ‘Green’ is necessarily Gold

This past weekend as I was hanging out with some friends the topic of conversation moved to changing tyres and whether we, the 2 ladies in the room, had ever done it before. You see, the other lady had to take her car in to the workshop to have the tyres changed. Now isn’t that […]

The Reality of Sci-Fis

I love sci-fi movies. Get me a sci-fi book and it shall go on top of the list of awesome gifts I have received. As I watch these movies they unveil scenarios and realities that I know I will not live to see. The future is beautiful, I am jealous in some ways and in […]

Veve at the Hamburg International Film Fest

Thursday begun without my morning coffee. It was 7.55am and the student café was still closed. I was standing outside the library waiting for Cara to come pick me up. She’d drop me off at the train station on her way to school and I would travel to Dresden to eventually get to Hamburg. Why […]

Friends

4 years ago….. Am I over-reacting?? Is my life slowly crumbling down around me and have I no control over the speed at which this happens?? It’s like I closed my eyes one minute and everything was fine with me being in first year, naïve, loveable and now on opening them I am confronted by […]

Reconfiguring my Cravings

Our bodies’ natural way of telling us we need something is by craving it. Ergo the cravings of pregnant women (I suspect). However, I do not see the nutritional value in a tub of chocolate chip ice-cream savoured in the middle of the night. But since she is indeed 2 in 1 we should never […]

Winter is coming….

I stand at my 1st floor window, watching as the cloud of fog rolls in from the east. Pillows of translucent cotton cushioning the spaces between the houses. Yesterday the snow had come. Tiny dots slowly drifting to the ground soon becoming thick white confetti. My classmates and I had been gleeful. A group of […]

Is Africa the Answer?

Why is there all this fuss about developing economies driving the rest of the world in terms of economic growth? It’s simple really (once my class on macroeconomics pointed me in the direction of a book dealing with the subject). The overall growth of an economy is the growth of the output of that economy-the […]

Paper or Plastic?

I read an article that talked about the enormous waste pile floating in the Pacific ocean. 80% of this pile is plastics; all types of plastics ranging from broken hard plastic pieces from components of your everyday equipment, to packaging (with this being the most commonly found). The swirling pile of garbage is said to be […]

The Future is Green

Just got back yesterday from a class retreat to a nearby village that runs on 50% green energy. The Masters course I am in deals with management of resources and environment and allows students to incorporate sustainability concepts into their chosen field of specialization. The trip comes at the beginning of the winter semester to […]
