On this page you’ll find all blog posts on slow living, sustainability and fair fashion. All blog posts are written by Alexandra, the founder of My slow world. With this blog, we are focussing on the future and the possibilities around sustainable choices. Alone we’re a drop in the ocean, but together we make waves.

As a result, My slow world is highlighting the beauty of less, the beauty in slow and the beauty about consciousness. We will adjust to the pace of Mother Nature, with is slow, soft and peaceful. Life isn’t intended to rush, nor to exploit or destroy. How we live now, isn’t in harmony with Mother Nature.

As a matter of that, we will acknowledge the fact that we have to adjust, in order to be harmonised. We have to reflect on what we do and how we can change. Together we will think critically. We will nuance. And we will focus on positive change. The future is in our hands, so we have to decide how we want it to look like. How would you like to see your future? Green, bold and clean or dark, dirty and destroyed? I know what I want. I want my future to be bright. And I think you want this too. Therefore, we have to start with making little and big changes in our own lives.

I’m happy to have you here. In the end, we will only make a change by working together. Will you be with me?
