Swedish with Baby (Svenska med baby) is an organisation that believes in an open society where parents, and their children, with different backgrounds can meet to feel included and welcomed. I got invited to host a seminar about sustainable consumption for these parents.
It was a good experience for me to discuss these important issues for an audience still learning Swedish. We also had a very good discussion about what sustainable consumption mean, especially as a parent. I emphasised the importance of reducing consumption in general and not get stucked in labels or materials. Sustainability should be a practice available for anyone, that’s why it’s better to focus on what you can do. Several parents also brought up the topic of what really is important to buy for your children and to navigate for yourself instead of listening to commercials.
