Yesterday I had the privilege to visit Nakamura-san at the home he built himself in the town of Kamikatsu. The town known for its zero waste ambition is nestled in natural beauty. Nakamura didnt know what zero waste meant when he first heard the term as it isnt japanese so he tried to understand and explored the various meanings of the word waste. Waste created, don’t be wasteful, Don’t waste your time. Don’t waste your life. I can’t imagine myself living as frugally as Nakamura – his total utilities bill is 3 dollars a month! – but it was a truly inspiring time spent with a man who has created the life he wants. And I left him with a real sense of gratitude both to him and all the people we met in Kamikatsu. #anoptimistsguidetotheplanet @bloomberg @creamprodinc Kamikatsu, Tokushima

The one thing we all know one day will happen is also the one thing that we are never ready for. My beloved mother Hanne left us too soon. Time is only now. The past and future figments of our imagination. In the end all that remains is the love we shared. And me and my sisters were loved by the woman who gave us life. And she was loved by all her family and friends. If you can then please support your local cancer research. In Denmark it is #kræftensbekæmpelse in the US it could be #nationalcancerinstitute

An Optimist’s Guide to The Planet.
Game Of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau has signed up to host eco series An Optimist’s Guide To The Planet for Bloomberg Media.
The series will feature Coster-Waldau traveling the globe searching for the people, ideas, and traditions that will turn environmental angst into optimism.
He will meet electric aircraft engineers in Burlington, Vermont, Nashulai Conservancy elders in Kenya, and women leading sustainable Mezcal production in Mexico.
Described as Bloomberg’s most ambitious original to date, the series will be produced by Canada’s Cream Productions and Wildfire Television, the UK production outfit. It is made in association with Bell Media and Ill Kippers Aps, Coster-Waldau’s production company.
Executive producers are David Brady, Philip Clarke, Kate Harrison Karman, Coster-Waldau, Joe Derrick, Jennifer Baichwal, and Nicholas de Pencier. Patrick Cameron is the co-executive producer.
“The climate crisis impacts all of us, however what I hope this show demonstrates is that we are not doomed. Together with Bloomberg we will showcase the stories of incredible innovators, problem-solvers and dreamers,” Coster-Waldau said.
“The things I do for love.”
“We all need to take action to save the world.”
– @undp Goodwill Ambassador Nikolaj Coster-Waldau joined world leaders, influencers and advocates at the #UnitedNations for the annual General Assembly last week, calling for urgent #ClimateAction.
Protecting our planet is in everyone’s interest and everyone has a role to play.
All of us can be part of this global movement towards a more sustainable world by changing small habits in our daily routine — by avoiding single-use plastic and recycling, by using less water and electricity, and by demanding that world leaders #ActNow.
