Back to Stockholm!

I’ve just returned from another week long field trip with my Sustainability in Europe class—this time to Stockholm!

Our entire week was planned out for us, and our program payed for us to eat a few fancy Sweedish meals! Here are a few doings from the trip: 

-a visit to Stockholm Municipality for a presentation 

on Sweden’s green economy and energy sector

-a trip to Rosendal Garden for lunch 
and a lesson on composting

  

-a hike in Tyresta National Park

-a meeting with Bee Urban 
(a small company that sells sponsorships of beehives to major companies in  Stockholm) 
and a tour of the hives

-a presentation and tour from a sustainable city planner

-an archipelago boat tour

-a presentation from the Carbon Disclosure Project—a nonprofit which uses the power of investors to encourage companies to mitigate environmental risk

-and a trip to the Vasa Museum, which displays a salvaged 17^th century ship that sank on its first voyage less than fifty meters from shore.
