Out of the Closet

This is the Closet Environmentalist, my coming out journey towards sustainability on a student budget, bypassing the unwashed-hippie stereotypes. This is a record of a struggle against the murky waters of the Greenwash Sea.

Me? I am a Russian-born Portuguese expat living in the Netherlands. My background is in Environmental Engineering and Urban Environmental Management. Yes, I know what I'm talking about so you better listen to me. This is me:

*no flowers were harmed*

You can also catch my writings on Celsias.

Feel free to subscribe because I have absolutely no idea when I'll be posting again:
