Migrated to the green side of mastodon so already time to reintroduce myself!
I'm a researcher and lecturer at Lund University in Sweden, but come via the US, Australia and and New Zealand, where I worked as a park ranger and teacher.
I'm interested in #CircularEconomy #policies to address the #ClimateCrisis and in particular, #repair and #SustainableConsumption
I spend my free time volunteering with a #repaircafe and a #libraryofthings, swimming and hiking.
