Eco-Living in Sweden
When my family and I traveled through Sweden recently, I was struck by the modern look of their cities. In fact, I was told that one of their kings had long ago ordered the demolishing of their castles in an attempt to discourage the hording of power among the nobles. I'd forgotten that Sweden is one of the leading countries in environmental awareness and environmental technology. I was just cleaning up my office lately and found an old (1993) but still relevant article by Canadian urban planner, Angela Evans, in Alternatives on "Eco-Living in Sweden". It talked about Swedish people building "eco-villages" built with solar technology, recycling and other environmental innovations.
