Air travel accounts for a major share of individual greenhouse gas emissions. A transatlantic round trip adds up to 1.6 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emission, which is the entire annual carbon budget of a person to maintain a sustainable life. However, the air travel sector is rapidly growing and has almost doubled during the last decade.

It is that time of the year when we indulge a lot more in food. Not only are we buying and eating more, we are also wasting more.
– During major food holidays, we tend to buy a little extra and things we don't normally use, increasing the risk of waste, says Helén Williams at the Service Research Center (CTF) at Karlstad University. Planning is key to minimise food waste, and save money.
Households account for the largest share of food waste in Sweden.
Insects are highly important for our daily lives and the environment. The best-known ecological service provided by insects is pollination, but insects are also important as decomposers, natural pest managers and as prey for many other animals. This makes insects integral for almost every ecosystem.
However, insects are in a worldwide decline, which endangers ecosystems and directly affects our future lives.
