Att dela på vad vi har är roligt och viktigt!
Ettt jätte bra program Klotet i Sveriges Radio P1 om att dela på det mesta. Denna vecka om delandets ekonomi på OuiShare Festival: i Frankrike. Varför äga en bil om du kan dela med andra i en bilpool? Varför bo på hotell, om du kan hyra en privat lägenhet mitt i Paris till halva priset? […]
Jonas Hassan Khemiri och om gatukonst
Jag satt just och tittade på Babel i SVT och serien Khemiri på prao. Denna gång skulle Jonas Hassen Khemiri skriva encyklopediska – en text för Nationalencyklopedin.

Moralen och konsumtionen
Ett nytt ekonomiskt system är det möjligt? Ja det får man verkligen hoppas. Annars barkar det åt helvetet för vår planet och för mänskligheten. Ekosystemet håller inte om vi fortsätter som vi gjort de senaste 50 åren.
