    Humanity is not a plague

    In Humanity is Not a Plague, Cees Buisman argues that it is possible for 10 billion people to exist together on this Earth – as predicted for the year 2100 – provided that the richer part of the world no longer merely focuses on its own health, prosperity and happiness, and instead starts working seriously on developing a higher consciousness.

    In this essay, Buisman sharply analyzes some of the problems facing mankind, such as fresh water shortages, whilst overturning several clichés and offering unexpected, positive solutions. Overpopulation is not the problem; the effects of our actions on the rest of the world have a much greater impact. ‘Back to nature’ is not the solution, nor is an overreliance on science and innovation. Large-scale technologies could even increase our problems. It seems that the growth of humanity will depend on the growth of our consciousness.

    Cees Buisman studied water purification engineering, in addition to business administration, communication theory and applied integral psychology. Throughout his life he has worked on new environmental technologies, which are used in industry all over the world. His scientific work is highly cited. Buisman is the Director of Wetsus – European Center for Sustainable Water Technology, and Professor at Wageningen University, in the Netherlands.

    Oranjekoek

    Zoveel Friese bakkers, zoveel oranjekoeken. Een Fries feest is niet compleet zonder oranjekoek. Het zoete banket kent een lange historie en is uitgegroeid tot een feestelijk symbool. Maar zoals ‘dé Fries’ niet bestaat, heeft ook dé oranjekoek vele verschijningsvormen. In een tot fotostudio
    omgebouwd busje is beeldend kunstenaar Tryntsje Nauta op bezoek geweest bij alle drieënnegentig Friese bakkers om hun oranjekoek te documenteren.

    Safolle bakkers, safolle oranjekoeken. In Frysk feest is net kompleet sûnder oranjekoeke. It swiete banket hat in lange histoarje en is útgroeid ta in feestlik symboal. Mar sa as ‘dè Fries’ net bestiet, hat ek dè oranjekoeke in soad ferskiningsfoarmen. Yn in ta fotostudio omboud buske gie keunstner Tryntsje Nauta op besite by alle trijeennjoggentich bakkers om harren oranjekoeke te fotografearjen.

    There are as many oranjekoeken as there are bakeries. A Frisian party is not complete without oranjekoek. This sweet pastry has a long history and has gradually developed into a festive Frisian icon. But just as there is no stereotypical Frisian, likewise oranjekoek comes in many forms. In a minibus converted into a photographic studio photographer Tryntsje Nauta visited all the ninety-three bakeries to photograph their oranjekoek.
