Young Swedes touring Europe in search of sustainability solutions

The Sustainable Solutions Tour goes down south from Sweden. Image: Sustainable Solutions Tour.

In April, a group of young, idealistic Swedes left Stockholm to go on a tour around Europe. Their aim is to find good examples, best practices and all kinds of “solutions” and lift them in order to inspire others.

Now the Sustainable Solutions Tour has reached Italy, and has found a good deal of interesting examples on their way. Like a social business in Vienna that brings urban farming into people’s houses through a window growing system, or Swiss polyport that maximizes transports in Zürich trough using already exisiting transports, like commuters.

“By gathering and sharing best practices and practical examples of innovative sustainable ideas from around the globe, we believe that the power of inspiration can move development forward in a more sustainable way for our planet and people.” they write at their website, where you can see videos about all the initiatives they have visited.

One of my personal favourites is Bee Urban, putting bee hives on houses in central Stockholm:

  • Lars

    Vilka eldsjälar!

  • sarajeswani

    Yes, we need more “eldsjälar” (the Swedish word for real enthusiasts, or word for word: “fire souls”)!
