Five tips on how to save the world
Is it enough to deliver five tips for companies to be able to switch to sustainable business? We think three is enough. One of them is to stop waiting for the lucky pill. There are no shortcuts.
What can the bream teach us about sustainability?
When Katja did her life cycle analysis of Swedish bream, it turned out that it has as low an environmental impact as legumes. As a mince, it is also fantastically good. Still, we import 72 percent of the fish we eat in Sweden.
Saved by a repairability index
From 1 January, the French government require manufacturers of certain electronic devices, including smartphones and laptops, to inform consumers how their products can be repaired.
Trendspotting from Greengoat
Someone recently said that 2020 requires a really sharp PR consultant to save its reputation. Do you agree? At Greengoat, we’ve have had an unusually good year despite the hurdles and now, it’s time to summarize the sustainability year of 2020.
Climate compensation – for or against?
Today’s post is about climate compensation. Is it reasonable to be able to buy yourself free from your climate footprint by exporting it elsewhere? We waver a bit in the question and appreciate hearing what you think.
Ambition and transparency
Quite a few large Swedish companies received a letter this week. The senders were financial actors, such as Nordea Asset Management, Handelsbanken Asset Management, Alecta and Swedbank Robur. The message was crystal clear: Set new climate goals in line with with the Paris Agreement 1.5-degree goal and aim to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
Gone shopping
The year was 1932. The Great Depression was in full bloom with increasing unemployment and plummeting consumption. Real estate agent Bernard London was deeply concerned. It was painful to watch people using their cars, clothes and other products until they broke down instead of constantly buying new as they used to before the Depression. Hopeless people.
Biological diversity in the steering room
Who owns the night? For one of the goats, the answer is easy to answer. It is Greven who owns the garden between dusk and dawn. It has become clear now that autumn is arriving, and the dark part of the day gets longer by the day. Greven is a badger. There have been stories about him in the neighborhood since we moved in, but we’ve never seen him. Until this summer. The thing is that he has invited parts of his family as well and things are getting messy.
Sustainability – to last longer
Polarbröd’s factory in Älvsbyn burned down last Sunday. We mourn, the people of Älvsby mourn, the employees mourn, the customers mourn. It’s not just that Polarbröd has always been in our lives; there is something proud, stable and very, very Swedish that has turned into ash.
Time for the green slush
You know that feeling, when your kayak leaves the shore; you take a deep breath and fill your lungs, brain and heart with the world around you. Everything is perfect. You put your paddle in the water for that first stroke and find that it cuts through green slush. The curtain goes down.
