Mini museum visit today! I was posted at a job site kinda close to the place a few weeks back and I thought about going for an afternoon. I used to go there with school and mom & pop a lifetime ago. There was a themed exhibit about environmentalism and keeping the planet sustainable. It was a little less aggressive towards companies and industries ruining things for just everyday people, but it was sorta aimed at kids, so I get it.

(Ensuring a green future Climate change, deforestation and unsustainable land use are causing a lot of the world's vegetation to disappear. This disrupts water systems and other natural system, and causes the loss of valuable agricultural land. Which in turn leads to hunger and poverty. It increases the chance of flooding during wet periods, and water shortages during dry periods. Global measures are therefore needed to combat deforestation and desertification in order to prevent further damage. Reforestation and increased afforestation can help repair the damage already done.) I also saw cool rocks! I'm not much on the knowledge side of geological stuff, but I'm a sucker for pretty sharp things like the metalhead I am.

There was 1 fun little case that showcased various crystal formations under a bluelight!

There was also a mini tank of scared fish, used to display a small part of submerged flora and fauna. Poor babies. There was also a small sideroom with the theme "Children in War". As a Berlin Wall kid, this kinda stuff is important to me.

In the room there were also small cabinets with "sensitive" stuff in them. The rise of Hitler, the forming of the NSB (National Socialist Bond: Just the nazi party but Dutch pretty much. Responsible for pretty much every single person in the country who got taken to the deathcamps.) in the Netherlands and the death camps. I was a little dismayed that there were no mention of the pink or black triangles. When these things already show letters between the Nazi's and the Dutch NSB party where they discuss laws to instantly send any vaguely Jewish person to the camps, it doesn't seem like mentioning a little blurb about who they thought was deathcamp worthy is too grim. Anyway,
