Have the flight-free movement’s calls to avoid flying because of climate change had an impact on travel behaviors? What can be attributed to economic factors, changed social norms or a combination of both is unclear - but air travel in Sweden has decreased by 20 percent compared to before the pandemic. – The movement seeks to achieve change by making visible other ways of traveling, and in a large

Death in the form of a skeleton with a scythe is a familiar figure of dread, but death and dying do not have to be frightening. “Death does not have to be marked by fear; it can just as often be characterised by calm and quiet. There can be a lot of joy even during the last days of a person’s life!” Carl Johan Furst. These are the words of Professor Carl Johan Fürst, head of the new Palliative Car
