Profile Information
- About Me:
- I'm born and bred in Sweden, by environmentally conscious and community engaged parents, mom was a psychologist and dad is a journalist. By 12 years, I got into the national "youth & environment" movement along with theatre, and animated local and regional groups until I left the country at the age of 18.
Then, I lived a "small footprint" lifestyle in France for about 9 years. My statement was "It must be possible to live and create positive change in western Europe without money!". In order to do so, I was....: "Squatting" empty buildings to provide shelter for the many homeless ; wwoofing on organic farms ; living off of "dumpster-diving" and collecting leftovers from the organic grower's market, turning some of it into soups for the poor ; doing "guerilla gardening" ; house-sitting while redesigning peoples properties into Permaculture ; living in a sefl-sufficient community in the countryside ; building low-cost ecological habitats ; and facilitating meetings and gatherings for different organisations with Consensus Decision-making.
I'm living in Wellington since last August, and will stay at least another year, but hopefully much longer. I'm doing a Permaculture Diploma over the next two years, focusing on sustainability for suburban households and creating community currencies.
- Areas of interest and expertise
- Lifestyle changes and retrofitting of our structures to become ecologically sustainable, using permaculture design. Complementary currencies as tools for enhancing local wealth and community resilience.

Matt King said… - Hey Linnea,
The companion planting book is just, "Companion Planting in NZ" by Brenda Little. You can borrow if you want but it is a good and cheap book to have in the collection.
