I have been writing about sustainability and sustainable development for over thirty years. Much of what I have written is outdated — based on old facts, old reflections, and old situations that have changed dramatically. Recently I found myself wondering: what, in all of that writing, might possibly stand the test of time? So on … Continue reading Introducing a series of shareable quotes

Do you Speak Swedish? This book is for you (and it’s free)
https://hallbarhetforalla.wordpress.com/ Back in 2013, I wrote a little book whose purpose was to inspire my colleagues in sustainability.

Stockholm, Old Town (Gamla Stan), 6 Jan 2021 I confess that I went to a museum today. Stockholm’s Fotografiska lets in just 8 people every half hour, for 90-minute slots.

Grab a virtual table and a drink, sit back and enjoy. The Covid-19 pandemic is a major global crisis, the … Continue reading Take a break from Corona and travel back in time

A website was created to capture remembrances of her, and since my written piece appeared first, and many followed, it is now at the … Continue reading Remembering Joan Davis, 1937-2016
