A green room in Copenhagen

I spent last weekend in Copenhagen/Sweden and it was something magic about being touristy so close to home. It was also well needed to be off work for four days - I feel all the energy coming back to me again and the fighting spirit being a bit restored after some tough months.


Our super-cool (and very green) hotel room in Copenhagen (upper picture). It was a great hotel which I can recommend to anyone that likes something that is a bit more boutique and a bitt less Scandic. Being a real tourist i Copenhagen includes, of course, walking along the water in Nyhavn (lower picture).

The time in Sweden was also great, got to see the family and got a sneek-preview of Swedish summer (blue sky, sun, beach & ice cream). Below is a picture from the beach in Åhus.

Anyway - so after a great four day weekend (including celebrating my birthday), I am back at work. Still a lot of hard work to be done before September, but we are getting there and it's exciting. I must say that I am still stunned every day that I am doing something real, something with an impact. After having spent 17 years in school, you get very distant from reality and it is easy to forget that there is a world beyond papers and exams and the liking of your teachers.

I like the world out there - it pushes you boundaries, it challenges you and it makes you to a better person while doing it. It's not until there is something real on the line, something that is impacting not only yourself but also other people, that you can realize your real capabilities and potential.

Where have I been for the last nine months?

I have always believed that bans and restrictions are not what will solve the sustainability and environmental challenges that we are facing but that we need to find solutions through the free market and already established systems. And it's in that exact direction I am currently dedicating my time, my heart and all my energy.

Stay tuned for further updates on the incredible unexciting events of the journey that I call my life.

New beginning

This is me starting over.

I have blogged in Swedish in the past, but now realized that all my daily interactions are all happening in English and that this is a good time to switch, to start over and to make this blog come alive again.

I have high believes in my Swedish readers (if there are any left) and I am quite sure that the language change won't be an issue for them. I will keep focusing on Swedish environmental policy and politics - but I hope to be able to also expand into some more general thoughts about sustainability since this is what I do everyday and where my heart is.

So welcome - or welcome back!
