Sedan ett par år tillbaka har måltidsservice i Östersund tagit till vara på frukt och bär från allmänheten.

– I stället för att det ska bli maskmat, skänk det till oss! säger Joakim Eklund, måltidsstrateg på kommunen.

I ett av kommunens tillagningskök står kocken Helén Öst och skalar äpplen.

– Det ska bli äppelkakor, säger hon.

Initiativet ska minska matsvinnet och göra det möjligt att använda fler lokala resurser. Det ger dessutom barn och elever en närmare relation till maten. Så småningom ska också ett beredskapslager av frystorkade frukter och bär byggas upp.

De frukter och bär som lämnas in till kommunen ska vara sköljda och rensade. Hittills har kommunen fått in några hundra kilo.

– Fler är välkomna att lämna in, säger Joakim Eklund.

The climate crisis requires a cultural and philosophical shift – not just technical solutions

The author describes how the climate crisis became part of everyday life for his four-year-old son and reflects on the need for a cultural and philosophical shift in the view of nature. He links this to research on planetary boundaries, criticizes political inaction and highlights works such as Rowan Hooper's book and Verena Paravel's documentary that show symbiosis and cooperation in nature. The article emphasizes that science and art together are needed to change the public and deal with the climate crisis.

Over 1,300 dead and 5,000 missing after glacier collapse in the Himalayas

More than 1,300 people have been confirmed dead and more than 5,000 are missing after a major glacier slide on August 26 near the Nepal-Tibet border. The landslide caused a flood of water, mud and rock to sweep through the valleys. An analysis by World Weather Attribution points to both the 2015 earthquake and climate change as contributing factors, including glacier melting and permafrost thawing. Scientists believe that early signs of instability were already present one to two months before the event, but real-time monitoring of thousands of glaciers is a major challenge. Nepal has requested $20 million in compensation from a UN fund citing climate change as the cause.

The southern peak of Kebnekaise is decreasing in height – Sweden's highest point is now the northern peak for the eighth year in a row

The southern peak of Kebnekaise was measured at 2088.3 meters above sea level, a decrease of 10 centimeters compared to last year. Nordtoppen, which is ice-free and has a fixed height of 2096.8 meters, is thus Sweden's highest point for the eighth year in a row. Since 1951, the southern peak has decreased by approximately 30 meters in height.
