I'm passing this on for Lauren Ell.
I welcome you to join my live broadcast about life in Sweden taking place on Saturday, March 9, 2019 at 12pm Pacific Standard Time. I have lived in Sweden twice - for ten months as a foreign exchange student 2006-2007, and now have been living in Sweden since 2016 with my Swedish partner. One of my goals is to explain that Sweden is not a utopia country like what many Americans believe. More information here: [mailchi.mp]
I’ve relatives in Sweden who’ve assured me of the same. They’ve been ‘over here’ many times, having visited most of our states. I’m always told of ‘how rich our nation is in resources,’ and ‘how many such things have been long gone in Sweden’… I tell them that’s why I do what I can to get across to those over here the necessity of leaving some and protecting what we have..
Sadly, many Swedes having long ago become Americas would chop down forests and fish out stocks as fast - or faster than anyone. ‘Upper Midwest’ and ‘PNW’ inhabitants here in the US, most appear to have severed ties to their heritage … as blending families and US propaganda has converted them to ‘us.’
Should be an interesting chat. Thanks for sharing. ?
