Helsingborg
I came to Lund University's campus in Helsingborg again. I am writing my book on Danish, Finnish and Swedish businesses, and it's wonderful to write it in both Denmark and Sweden these days. I brought with me a jar that was home to some organic pasta sauce. This is to show that zero waste practices do not always (or even at all) require consumption of special products. My colleague whose department is hosting me gave me a mandarin orange as a gift. I also attended a lecture by this fellow human. It's interesting and thought-provoking to attend my colleagues' lectures. The lecture was broadly on my area of expertise, but there were two discussions that stood out. One was about consumers not willing to pay more for products that contain recycled materials. This may be different for certain groups of consumers, e.g., those who practise ecological lifestyles. Another one was sustainable products being a niche, oftentimes attracting customers with larger disposable incomes. Such customers' carbon footprints may be very large to begin with. The fellow human who delivered the lecture was saying that it is necessary that accessible stores such as Flying Tiger Copenhagen start offering sustainable options, otherwise sustainable lifestyles remain something that only a small proportion of population does.
