Order One Tonne Life - the book about a climate-smart lifestyle
Over a period of six months, The Lindell test family, exchanged their 1970s home and their almost 10-year-old cars for a newly built, climate-smart wooden house from A-hus and a battery-powered Volvo C30 Electric. Vattenfall provided renewable electricity, new energy technology and energy coaching.
“On our way down to 2.5 tonnes we didn’t have to make any major compromises in our everyday lifestyles. After that, however, things got tougher. Living at the 1.5 tonne level was an extreme experience for us,” says Alicja Lindell.
Order the book and share the Lindells experience from the One Tonne Life project. Get inspired and see how small changes can lead down to sustainable levels without impairing one’s quality of life. The book is free of charge.
