working for a sanctuary in Norway?

2013-08-05T08:40:38.000Z

Hi everyone,

I would like to go to Norway and do something that is of help for animals. Working for a sanctuary or shelter would be great.

I have savings and could work half-time or full-time for little or no money. But it would be great if I can find a place where I can live for free.

Do you have any ideas?

Apples in Stockholm

2012-11-15T09:30:15.000Z

the organic local apples in stockholm are crazily expensive, have u noticed? (in the vegan shop Good Store) it's cheaper to get imported german organic apples. We really need to plant more very nice and sweet apple trees in Sweden, with a lot variety. I don't live in the countryside, so i can't have a garden. But really, this is a project to be done, if i move out fr the city, this will be a project. Apple also can be stored really well the whole winter. Anyone knows how long an apple can be stored in a cellar?

Sometimes i can forage apples during the season, i've become sort of an expert to learn the places of "abandoned" apples trees in stockholm: a few trees in Vita Bergen. But the place i find the most is around the University area (stockholms universitet). It's amazing! so many different varieties, textures, colours, juicy, soft/firm.... some are not tasty, but most are nice and some others absolutly amazing!

Bama has started a project they call "jobfruit", which is basically that they make fruit baskets that diferent companies can buy for their employers. here´s the link: http://jobbfrukt.no/ (it´s written in norwegian). Upping the fruit intake of norwegians, yey:)

Hello fellow nordics!

Just an introduction to the group. I am from Iceland and have been doing this lifestyle for about 4 months now but have been raw since the summer of 2008.

I am wandering how easy it is for all of you, getting good produce, sunshine and quality time outdoors in your countries?

cheers!

Stores & Distributors

2009-11-30T17:56:26.000Z

In relation to everything from farmer's markets to online stores, give your info, tips, tricks, experiences, and so on. This would be a good place to link to sites and/or contact information for stores and distributors as well, from which we Scandinavians may want to purchase something. Mustn't necessarily be Scandinavian or even European shops, but that would be a plus.Just a couple of links to start us off:http://rawfoodshop.se/http://rawfood.se/(Not saying the sites above have a lot to offer us. Or even a lot to offer at all, in the case of the latter. But perhaps they'll progress and be of more use to us some day.)

Vitamin D

2009-11-18T16:03:47.000Z

With the long & dark Scandinavian winter, it is virtually impossible to get sufficient sun exposure and thus the daily dose of vitamin D. Please make sure that you get sufficient vitamin D (D3 or cholecalciferol is the same vitamin produced in the body when exposed to sunlight) from a decent dietary supplement. Vitamin D3 aids calcium abosorption from the colon and plays a vital part in the formation and maintenance of the bones and skeleton.

Bit i det sura äpplet!

2009-10-10T20:59:32.000Z

Tja, vi har iaf gott om lagom sura äpplen (och päron) häruppe i norden -- och de kanske man inte skall se ned på, enligt denna artikel om cancer-bekämpande salvestroler:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-393956/Youre-eating-WRONG-fruit-veg.html"You're eating the WRONG fruit and veg!"[...]"Another reason our salvestrol intake is so low is our taste for sweeter flavours.Modern varieties of fruit and vegetables are selected for sweetness, which has led to older and more robustly flavoured hybrids being overlooked. For instance, the scientists found that small, organically grown alpine strawberries have 100 times the level of salvestrols of commercially grown (non-organic) strawberries. The tart English Cox ranks significantly higher on the cancer-fighting front than a sweet apple such as the French Golden Delicious."[...]"To boost your salvestrol intake you could take a supplement (available from health food stores). Or, simply increase your intake of the following foods: Fruit: red fruits (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, grapes, blackcurrants, redcurrants, blackberries, cranberries), apples and pears."
