Vi drabbar varandras liv
I sitt P1 Sommarprogram berättade författaren Therése Söderlind om sitt författarskap, om ursprung och sanning och om hur vi människor drabbar varandra och om en barndom på 70-talet och om varför vi berättar historier. Hennes sommarprat hör till de bästa jag hört denna sommar. Hannah skickade en länk till sommarpratet med hälsningen “med Therése Söderlind vill jag […]
Helsinki plans to make car ownership pointless in 10 years
What a great initiative! The Finnish capital has announced plans to transform its existing public transport network into a comprehensive, point-to-point “mobility on demand” system by 2025 – one that, in theory, would be so good nobody would have any reason to own a car – read more.….

Norrebro bikes for clean air
I recently came home from a week in Copenhagen where I took this picture. The Norrebro kids learn early that: “Norrebro bikes for clean air” as the sign on the banner says. I also found a wonderful collection of bike photos from Copenhagen on the blog Copenhagen cycle chic. I love shadow pictures….
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 […]
