Röst till salu

I den rika världen tjänar vi pengar och köper saker eller tjänster som vi vill ha. Saker produceras i en stor och komplex kedja av aktörer och sällan inom landets gränser.

Ecotrippen – Sverige på cykel

Detta äventyr har vuxit fram sakteligen i mer än 6 år, men i år är det dags. Mitt intresse för miljö började växa för runt 20 år sedan. Den första riktiga cykeln köpte jag för drygt 8 år sedan och har bland annat cyklat i Skåne. Att filma har alltid varit kul men har hittills …

Seeing isn’t believing

Let’s say there was 100 percent sea ice in the Arctic when I was born, right at the end of a summer melting in the late 70s. How much sea ice was there on my birthday this year? Guess. Not even close. Guess again. You know how some things aren’t easily visually perceived because it …

Earth Year

Since 1970 we have celebrated Earth Day. A few years ago, as the ecological crisis approached certainty, we added Earth Hour. But now we need more than hours or days; we need a whole year. In Earth Year we stop. No more obliteration of natural ecosystems, no more urban sprawl and no more superfluous consumption. …
