I am an entrepreneur and a (smaller) investor businesses. My main company is Qype. Qype is a social network, where people share what is good in their neighborhood. Qype has now developped into Europe’s largest website for local reviews.

This is my personal blog which I would like to dedicate to

- entrepreneurship

- sustainability

and some personal stuff.

I blog about a sustainable lifestyle because I perceive myself to be an ordinary guy. No green history. I am: a pragmatic, a mechanical engineer & MBA by training, a family father, I admit that I love cars. I travel quite a lot on business.

Sustainability means different things to different people. For me, I am trying to work on the following:

1. Reducing our energy consumption. For three reasons: Preservation of natural resources, to somewhat limit climate change, but also because nearly all of the profits from oil for example go to regimes & lifestyles that I do not agree with.
2. Reducing the amount of waste we produce.
3. Making a bit more effort than before to have a positive interaction with society as a whole, beginning with the people around me. This I find the hardest.

I have been learning in the past two years how powerful blogs really are. I love receiving comments, I love the way you start discussions with blogs.
