I have been interested and working with sustainable development from I left school and got my first job as an environmental health officer. My way or method was through the Natural Steps.
(The Natural Step is a non-profit, non-governmental organisation founded in Sweden in 1989 by scientist Karl-Henrik Robèrt.)
Today I am Head of the Environmental protection division in the Municipality of Vadstena. I have had similar work in other municipalities but also for the Government at the County Administrative Board. The work with environmental protection goes hand in hand with sustainable development in my way of seeing things.
Privately I have the opportunity to “engage” with sustainable issues in the Secular Franciscan Order and as an animator in the Laudato si-movement in the Catholic Church. A great way to learn and get an interest in environmental and sustainable issues is to become a beekeeper! My bees do a tremendous work to pollinate the surrounding forest.
