Dave the Nomad

As it seems I am continually fortunate and lucky to find myself traveling again, I’ve devoted a section of my website as a compilation of my studies on Sweden’s Sustainability Initiatives. This trip is possible thanks to a generous grant I won from the US Department of State and the Swedish Institute’s 2010 Swedish-American Exchange Fund, which was set up in 1976 as a two-hundred year birthday gift to the United Stated from Sweden. My study will focus on the innovation, culture, and feasibility of one of the world’s most influential sustainable systems.

I’ll be capturing my experiences here in various media in hopes of relaying a message of possibility back to my fellow Americans. The underlying objective is to create a simple and clairvoyant proposal for a more sustainable lifestyle by developing a case study of Sweden’s journey to a sustainable future.

I’ll be traveling around the country talking with industry leaders and progressive minds in Stockholm, Goteborg, Vaxjo, Karlskrona, and Malmo to hopefully develop a more sustainable America. As always, I am open to your comments and feedback via my blog or e-mail (david.a.loomis @ gmail.com) from any like-minded, opposed, or just curious people and groups. You can follow my daily activity via twitter as well! Thanks for your interest.
