Find your place on the planet and dig in!
It makes me so happy when I find that there are people out there doing great things in a world marked by cynicism and greed. It makes all the difference! From Backdoor jobs: Sustainable Living & Farming Jobs: In a world focused on technology and getting ahead at all costs, it might be time to look […]
A Vision for a Self-Reliant New York!
I want to reblogg this important bloggpost from Archdaily because I get so happy when I read it! “In an era of incompetent nation states and predatory transnationals, we must ratchet up local self-reliance, and the most logical increment of organisation (and resistance) is the city.” This is how Michael Sorkin, writing in Aeon Magazine, explains his hypothetical […]
Varför delar så få Stora Enso nyheterna?
Alla tidningar och TV kanaler i Finland och Sverige har de senaste dagarna, både i IRL pressen och online, skrivit och pratat om Stora Enso – dvs om deras utnyttjande av barnarbetare. Det har slagit mig hur få läsare som kommenterat och rekommenderat artiklarna och delat med sig på social media i jämförelse med hur mycket […]
Their effort to make others happy….
…makes me happy! There are so many good projects in the world! When I see films like Erik Johanssons Photoshop in Real Life I am reminded of how Internet is a wonderful workshop, forum and arena for creative people and can create community.

Reko-ringar och crowdfunding – gamla fenomen i Facebook-kläder
I Västra Nyland och på några andra orter i Svenskfinland har vi nyligen fått ta del av “nya” sätt att handla närproducerat. Modellen som är aktuell just nu kallas REKO-cirklar och det sägs att modellen “har tagits från Frankrike”. Fast jag applåderar att flera vill handla närodlat (och gör därför gärna reklam på min blogg) […]
Cooperation and happiness go hand in hand
My father-in-law was a history professor whose special interest was Scandinavian life and civilization. American teachers often use humor to illustrate the subject at hand, and this joke was one he used to introduce the topic of perceived differences between people in the Nordic countries: Eight survivors of a shipwreck–two Norwegians, two Danes, two Finns […]
We should pay people for being alive!
How can we change the world of work? By not agreeing to stupid old fashioned contracts and routines, by not being at work just for the sake of it, to clock in and out day in and out, to commute every day – to refuse be a cog in a machine we do not believe in […]
Hamburg – the city without cars
Greetings from the biking city Copenhagen! Here ANYTHING is transported on a bike! Almost anyway. And it seems as though everyone owns a bike too. A group in Copenhagen is teaching immigrant women how to bike and another group has started taking elderly people who are not able to bike themselves anymore out on a […]
MIA kören som dyker upp mitt i allt
Mia är kören som dyker upp Mitt i Allt i vardagen på sjukhus and andra institutioner. De förgyller vardagen för patienter och invånare på de institutioner de besöker och de upplever att de själva får ut mycket av varje besök, alltså är det en win-win situation! Den som legat på sjukhus vet att dagarna blir […]
