Roughly 20 years ago I realized our current idea of civilisation could not be sustained. I imagine many have had similar insights. But also like me struggled with what do to and over time found that it is impossible to stop or redirect what can be seen as a supertanker on full throttle. And honestly… Fortsätt läsa Opting for the difficult

The coming decade: will we learn to live sustainably?
Right. It has been more than two weeks since I posted my thoughts on the coming decade. You can read the extended Swedish version here. And the English summary here. Today I thought I’d further explore the first of five proposed action areas – Stopping the destruction of our planet. This does sound awfully pretentious, and I’m… Fortsätt läsa The coming decade: will we learn to live sustainably?
