Today's Sweden blog is about a facility called FIXA-TILL operated by the city of Lund.  It is a facility that offers rental services such as tools and sewing machines. I love this concept and wish it can be done in Japan too!  

Today's blog is about your own “Carbon footprint”. Carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions associated with all the activities of a person or other entities.

In Sweden, they have apps that can calculate your carbon footprints!
