Our living planet is only as healthy as our oceans.

Unfortunatly our oceans are absorbing the planets warming. And we know that warmer oceans mess up ecosystems, drive stronger storms and bleach coral reefs.

As oceans absorb carbon dioxide, they become more acidic, threatening all forms of life.

What we can do?
💧Mind our carbon footprint
💧Avoid plastic products
💧 Keep beaches and coastline clean
💧Make safe and sustainable seafood choices
💧Don’t purchace items that exploit marine life
💧Support organizations working to protect our ocean
💧 Influence change in our community

Blooming where we were planted 🌱

Wearing my light and soft wool top from @gai.lisva
I have it in many colors, but this season I’ve fallen in love with this new color: iceberg green.

Connecting with nature helps us care for ourself and our planet.

Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings.

Exposure to nature not only makes us feel better emotionally, it contributes to our physical wellbeing, reducing blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension, and the production of stress hormones.

When we feel connected with nature, we also strengthen our motivation to take care off our planet.

How do you fuel your connection with nature? 🌱

Back in my childhood paradise, reproduceing summer memories by the beautiful fjords.

Long bright days filled with sun, salt and sea. Morning dips, crab fishing, boat rides, hiking along the coast, climbing trees and seafood barbeques with friends and family 💙🇳🇴

Where nothing comes between me and now. Where I pause, breathe, reset and fill up 💙

You’ve probably heard that our ocean will contain more plastic than fish by 2050, if we don’t act now.
So what can we do?

We can become aware of the flow of plastic in our lives. Then we can start to REFUSE avoidable plastic like banning plastic bags, unnecessary packaging and single use plastic.
Waving goodbye to convenient disposable items, means bringing our own REFILL items everywhere. I really enjoy (!) bringing my stainless straw to parties or coctail bars, it’s the perfect icebreaker to get the conversation towards my favorite topic: making planet friendly choices.
Bringing our personal cup to the coffee shop, and our favorite refillable water bottle to the gym - is really easy changes of habit.

We can REPLACE most of our plastic items with better options. At home we can swap plastic zippers with paper bags. Plastic film with bio wraps. Buy bulk, and store food in glass jars and stainless steel instead of plastic. Recycle our plastic toothbrush and get one made of bamboo. Go for plastic free cotton buds. Hard soap instead of liquid.

Good old plastic toys lives forever and should be REUSED. My kids plays with my childhoods lego, barbie dolls, playmo and plastic farm figures. They’re good as new. Let’s remember to give our everlasting toys a new home when our little ones are done.
We must always RECYCLE plastic - making it useful again and again, to reduce the need of producing more.

Last but not least - let’s vote out careless politicians - and vote in our climate champions.
Challenge accepted?

Making summer plans! Hopefully I’ll have many moments like this, in stunning 🇳🇴 nature.

Planning a roadtrip from the North Cape, Europes most northerly point, to the pittoreque fishing village of Lofoten. Midnight sun, king crab fishing, artic surfing, and hiking along the narrow fjords with jumping whales.

Do you travel tips for Northern Norway? Would love to hear your secret gems!

Fast fashion is like fast food. After the sugar rush it just leaves a bad taste in your mouth.. True sustainability is choosing well and buying less. I love to find durable basics I can live, breathe and move in.
Like this summer favorite linen tee from @gai.lisva ✨
Linen is sustainable because it is made of biodegradable flax plant fiber. Growing flax requires less water than cotton. There is also very little waste with flax; other part of the plant, like the seeds, can be used to produce linseed oil or flax seeds for consumption.
What is your favorite fabric?

The air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink and the climate that makes our planet habitable - all come from nature.

To care for ourselves we must care for nature.

-If we are neutral in situations of injustice, we have chosen the side of the oppressor.

I was supposed to be in NYC this week. For work, to reunite with friends and just enjoy the downtown vibe I miss so much. The trip was of course corona cancelled, like everything else.
Watching my city get harmed from a distance is not easy. First the pandemic hit hard. All my friends kids are still out of school. New Yorkers are known experts of tolerance and sharing space, but this situation is very challenging. Families we know are deciding to move out of the city.
This week, the intense situation went to mayhem - as the protests and demonstrations against police brutality and systemic racism are filling the streets.
People say I’m lucky to be home and safe in Norway. But right now I wish I could be there to support my community - and stand up for solidarity against racism, injustice and violence.
What we can do?
We cannot stay silent. We must stand together and commit to being better: educate ourselves, examine our biases, undertake anti-racist work, engage in uncomfortable conversations about race and privilege, and last but not least: use our own privilege and resources to advance justice. 👊🏿👊🏾👊🏽👊🏼👊🏻

In NYC I fell in love with cold therapy, entering nitro-cooled subzero chambers for 3 minutes.
Here in Norway, I just jump into the ice-cold fjords. The same benefits; gaining energy, burning calories, reducing inflammations, and boosting the immune system.

What’s your favorite cold therapy?

Taking time to stop and smell the flowers.. It is not a simple cliche, the positive physical and psychological effects are backed with plenty of research.

Smelling floral scents puts us in a good mood, makes us feel calm and provides better sleep. 🌱🌼☘️

Opening my first insect hotel,
welcoming all bugs, but bees are topping the VIB-list! 🐝

Why we all should open insect hotels;
to support biodiversity, the foundation of the world’s ecological balance
▪️
to supplement the increasing loss of natural habitats
▪️
to encourage beneficial insects to help control pests
▪️
to educate our kids how balanced ecosystems works

Do you have a #bughotel?

Project: become a runner. A happy, healthy, sustainable runner.
As the lockdown keeps the gyms closed, there is no better time to start a running project, right?

I’ve never loved running. I often end up with injuries, pain in my knees and just no motivation to keep it up.

This time, I wont give up. I started three weeks ago and run four times a week. Building up distance, little by little. No pain yet. And more motivated, than ever!

What’s your best tip to keep running?

Happy Birthday Norway! 🇳🇴🎈❤️🎂
Constitution day celebration in corona times is not the same - but we made the most out of it!
Bubbly brunch, pavlova, games in the garden, barbecue and cheering with neighbours. Hurray for our beautiful country!

Three years in the asphalt jungle has built up an untamable hunger for nature.
From the city that never sleeps to the remote wilderness of snow covered mountains in Norway. What a contrast of opposite environments. Manmade materials and straight angels towards
natures soft curves. Urban noise and flashing lights towards silent winds and a million stars.
Nothing soothes my mind like nature. And nothing makes me feel more alive than the big apple.

I need both 💙

My new normal. Maximum fresh air and outdoor activity. All time low carbon footprint, no commute and less shopping.
Maximum quality time with my loved ones. New heights of productivity, working remotely.
Minimum amount of time and energy used on everyday logistics. Time released to spend in nature.
For me the lockdown has many benefits. I can live healthier and more sustainable. Not sure if I want to go back to normal.
I don’t miss commuting, polluting, shopping or meetings. I would trade it with nature, working from my hammock and reading with my loved ones - any day.
What are the benefits of your new normal?
