Lifestyles define people like us in the way we live our lives, what we do, with whom, where, how and what we use to do it. Lifestyle is about the food we eat; how we interact and communicate with others; the trends we (dis)like; what we (want to) learn; how we make fun; the way we get around etcetera; it is our identity. Aiming for 100% self-sufficiency requires creating sustainable lifestyles, which means rethinking the ways people at Texel organize their daily lives. All choices and behaviour we make contribute to (un)sustainable lifestyles. How can sustainable lifestyles at Texel be achieved?
