The increase in population and urbanization has led to widespread concern about the resulting volume of consumption. This is especially problematic in the housing market, where home size continues to grow. In the United States the average size of a single-family home has doubled since 1950, leading to a profound environmental impact. This paper will seek to address the problem of overconsumption b

Even though ranked as one of the most sustainable countries in the world, Denmark still wastes annually food worth €1.1billion. To reduce the amount of food waste and al

Sedan 1990-talet har det fackliga medlemsantalet i Sverige gradvis minskat, och detta särskilt bland ungdomar. Samma nedåtgående trend går inte att finna på arbetsgivarorganisationernas sida. Denna obalans hotar de svenska modellen och gör det svårare för fackföreningarna att försvara kollektivavtalet och driva igenom förbättringar på arbetsmarknaden.
