    I live in the most sustainable city on the planet, Gothenburg, Sweden. And one of the most environmentally friendly apartment buildings in that city. The building is a special project where they test new sustainability stuff and other cool tech and things. Not sure I’m comfortable linking to a page about the building, as it shows photos and the exact location, but I wrote more extensively about it a couple of months back so I’ll go find that comment as soon as I have time and add it here.

    Other than that, I’m vegan, only buy second hand clothes, furniture, kitchenware etc. I only walk, bike and use trams. Most devices I get secondhand and use till they’re unrepairable (or at least would cost more to repair than get another secondhand one) and if I ever find like a phone real cheap before my current one is dead I give it away to family or friends that need it. There’s a lot more minor things, and probably stuff I’m forgetting.

    I’ve had and have a hard life where I can’t do most of the things I want due to anxiety, so I’m extremely proud to have gotten to where I am with all the stuff above.

      This sounds like Glenn-propaganda if I ever heard it!

      On a more serious note, where did Göteborg get this award?

      That’s super cool and I hadn’t heard of that city before. I’ll look into it more. Congratulations on living life on your terms!
