The European Union is doing more than anyone else in the world in the term of sustainability and climate. We are the only region in the world where we managed to bring back animals that had disappeared previously.

My job is to establish partnerships with citizens, NGOs and housing associations. I have been doing that for four years now and I can see that the interest in being part of these partnerships for sustainability is getting bigger and bigger. More and more people want to join and make a real impact.

The horror that lies behind the animal agricultural industry, is so deeply imprinted in my mind. I feel the fear so deep in my heart, that all desire for a piece of cake is completely gone. But if you serve vegan cake for me, I will dig in. There are many places we can work on. One is food and nu...

In my opinion, Greenpeace is the best environmental organization there is. Our aim is to protect our planet and therefore the creatures living on it by making the future green and peaceful. We want to protect the world’s nature and preserve biodiversity. Our focus areas are climate and energy, fo...

I would advise internationals and refugees to not be scared of changes, because there are a lot of different people in Denmark and you can always find people that are just like you and you will blend in, no matter what you believe in or not.

Veganism made me very sad a lot of times too because it makes me realize how messed up this world is. If everyone were to become an ethical vegan, we would have way fewer problems. It would really change the way we interact with the planet, the animals and each other.

One of the main things, the very foundation of what we do, is that we are trying to make the industry more sustainable. While the others focus on selling new bikes and increasing consumerism, we focus on repairing the old ones and try to convince people to take good care of them, so that they wil...

I was given the opportunity to open up and not be within the setting of the Municipality but a more open one, where we could invite not just refugees but also internationals. So, we had half a year trial period with mainly free events, twice a week, with coffees and teas and again we just saw peo...
