We receive a lot of information about climate change, and what stops people is that they don't know what to do with all this information. From where to start. My main motivation is to promote actions and initiatives to inspire ideas of action from other people. By bringing ideas and actions together and by helping to make them possible we can be an important part of the change, leading by example.

Communication is key if we want to make the message of sustainability attractive and accessible.

I have an online platform (prettygreenlily.com) where I raise awareness about sustainable fashion and sustainable lifestyle alternatives and talk about the science and facts behind sustainability in fashion.

I believe that there is strength in numbers and that simple changes in our individual lifestyles can build up to meaningful systemic change – a change that starts with knowledge and awareness.

Beside my PhD in Environmental and Energy Engineering and my role in the city Council, I commit on a daily basis to making lower impact choices. But I am not convinced that we will be able to fight the climate crisis if we leave the responsibility to the goodwill of virtuous citizens. Only by turning the crisis into an opportunity to improve the quality of life of people, can we hope to suceed. I believe we need to be ambitious, practical, concrete, coherent, and to use a science based approach.

In talks/sessions I (M.Sc ITPD and Lektor) speak passionately and with humor about our modern lifestyle (without being condemnatory or missionary). After a session participants talk about an "Aha-experience" - which provides participants with "self-insight" that changes their structured/conventional thinking. I arrange climate-workshop settings (typical 20-40 persons in a climate-game session) where the audiences are divided into six different groups/personifications of climate profiles.

As a scientist in environmental chemicals and medical doctor, my activities coalesce around the impact of chemical pollution on our health. Everyday chemicals in personal care products, food and food contact materials, and in fabric and household items, microplastics and plastic additives, all take a toll on our health and the living environment while translating into climate change, and deteriorated sustainability and degraded biodiversity. I am committed to connecting environmental pollution and human health for medical professionals and beyond.
