I am ready to share!

Hello, you green entrepreneur or sustainably curious fellow human! Below you can read about my consulting services and how to get in touch with me.

Inspirational Lectures

I am happy to come to you for a short presentation about myself and what I do as a sustainable entrepreneur. The lecture is titled "From just a pile of clothes to an award-winning, scalable, and self-evident solution in light of upcoming EU regulations."

Swop-party
Since spring 2024, we have been organizing Swop-parties at the Swopshop store, offering both businesses and individuals the opportunity to rent the entire store for an event. It’s simply our clothing exchange concept combined with a lecture or workshop on sustainability. For example, you can invite experts to give presentations and discuss how your industry can become more environmentally friendly. All participants get to "swop" in the store and update their wardrobes. A win-win concept!

Combine your corporate event (Swop-party or sewing workshop) with an exclusive swop experience, where I will gladly guide you.

This is a personal journey and professional focus on sustainability. Here's the English translation:

How I niche myself within climate and sustainability

The first years involved an innovative and risky path where I worked closely with consumers, moved around like a yo-yo between different business locations, participated in countless projects via the public sector, and encountered all possible structural obstacles. At the same time, I went through a personal journey around environmental awareness, which led to climate anxiety and a social handicap. All of this resulted in a circular business that I am very proud to be a pioneer in.

Now I am ready to share my experiences and expertise in entrepreneurship, circular economy, sustainable fashion, and zero-waste by starting Sweden's first swap shop, Swopshop.

I dive deep into these two topics:

  1. Modern barter trade

  2. How to barter your way to a better life.

These topics are available through both workshops or longer lectures. It is also possible to combine a lecture with a workshop.

Interview?

Welcome to contact me for an interview. Over the years, I have participated in several student projects, thesis/dissertation work, and research projects as a private investment in future generations. The hope is to accelerate the transition so that sustainable living becomes the norm and an easy choice. I am happy to discuss political solutions for a more sustainable society.

The solution seems simple to me, but is complex in today’s society. If we provide everyone with the same opportunities in terms of universal basic income, access to more nutritious food, and the ability to live locally, imagine what you support with your money when you consume tax funds.

Lastly, buying just because something is cheap is part of the problem. Why is it cheap in the first place? Who pays the real price in other values? Is it another person on the planet? Is it nature? Is it your own health?

My radical proposals are as follows:

  • Introduce a circular care subsidy.

  • Higher VAT on new production.

  • Change valuation systems and mindsets regarding reuse (municipal employees should act as role models in this).

  • Implement other values than money.

  • Adapt language to make reuse the obvious first choice.

  • Warn against marketing that is not aligned with the Paris Agreement.

  • Provide knowledge on individual needs for a healthier life, reducing climate impact in collective buildings.

  • Focus more on preventative healthcare instead of firefighting when it’s too late.

  • Support social employment-integrated companies.

  • Stop allowing businesses to start without a sustainability mindset.

You might be thinking: But what can I do? My answer is, we all can do something. Feel free to contact me, and I will guide you based on your life situation and circumstances.
