If you know me, than you’ve probably seen my obsession with Sweden manifesting on my living room wall, laptop, longboard, and my first experiment with the blog world. You’ve probably already heard me spout about allemansrätten, Sweden’s camp anywhere and everywhere policy. And you’ve probably heard me glorify some aspect of Sweden’s elite society, whether it be her near-perfect information in the grocery stores or the nation’s quest to become fossil fuel independent by 2020.
It’s easy desiring to be Swedish, but dealing with being an American is messier. Our rhetoric, values, and ideals all seem to be in the right spot. We’re born on the course for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, exactly where every sentient being deserves to be, yet me and most of my fellow citizens’ liberty comes at the expense of our global compatriots’ natural rights.
I want to get better, freer. Planet Wisely is about that. It’s a log of my environmental blunders and successes, and my hope to pass on knowledge gained along the way, as I chart my course to obtain true life, liberty and happiness.
