Haninge Earth Hour
There was an open house in Handen today because of Earth Hour. I visited City Hall and listened to a music concert performed by the young students from the Haninge Music School. A few organisations were at hand to inform about easy ways to save energy. The woman in the collage is Karin who runs a environmental blog called Karins Miljöblogg. She handed out an Everyday Green Ideas questionnaire that I forgot to fill in. You could travel in style between City Hall and the Cultural Centre. With horse power if you were a kid, and with pedal power if you were a bit older. The guy on the rickshaw is Josef. He runs a company called Euro Rikshaw. I thought he looked familiar and sure enough I have a photo of him taken in Stockholm a few years ago.
It is not easy to image a rush hour in Livorno with horses and rickshaws...
ReplyDeleteThese look rather humorous.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to read that Sweden is also participating in Earth Hour, and to think it all started in little old Sydney down here.
ReplyDeleteEarth Hour. A great idea.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea. I think you Scandinavians have always been way ahead of us in terms of ecology and our planet. A beautiful collage.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Earth Hour started in Sydney. Thanks wilbo43.
I confess, I forgot about Earth Hour. I should have written down a reminder. Does it count a little that all lights in the place were off except the room we were in?
ReplyDeleteThat is a fun collage of pictures.
