what can i do? by jane fonda

do you remember where you were ten years ago and what you have achieved since then?
does it feel like a long time ago?
well, the answer to this question will put the next bit of information in its right context: 10 years is as long as humankind has left to halve global co2 emissions in order to have a fighting chance to maybe survive the (human) life-threatening consequences caused by climate change.
(ok, so the tipping point is actually 2030, but 2021 is still young.)
if you think 10 years is nothing for such a challenge – not mention all the efforts that then need to happen until 2050 – and you feel panic slowly rising in your chest, welcome to the club.

hi there!

i'm the simps.

i’m a thirty something woman living in luxembourg, europe who reads a lot and thinks too much.

as you might have guessed by the blog’s title, i’m also an idealist. i feel that there are at least a few elements in this world that desperately need changing and i do also have the naïve audacity to hope that my voice can be a part of this change.

it is my firm belief that one book, one idea, one dream at a time can inspire all of us to become more fulfilled individuals who in turn form a more just, more equal and more sustainable society.
