One and a half vegan Timi Ojo Rus

Remember those old avocados you had to throw away last night? Yeah, the ones that were shipped here only to go bad and end up in your trash. They are now part of the 40% food waste that wasn’t supposed to exist in the first place.

One and a Half vegan is talking food waste with Elle, chef and food rescuer at Resursrestaurangen. Tune in and educate yourself on food waste, why it is bad and how to reduce it. Rescue your food, rescue your planet!

For our final episode of 2019 we come back to the studio to summarize our year of sustainability. This is a great episode for those who may be intimidated by all the lifestyle changes required to lead a fully sustainable life and provides a healthy way of thinking about how to improve gradually.



Christmas is a time for acknowledgement and gratitude:

Thanks to K103, Gothenburg student radio for giving us the chance to drive this show and to be introduced to the world of radio and podcasting.

Thank you to all guests in this year’s episodes: Silviu, Elle, Jodie, Karin, Petra, Albin, and also to all those Gothenburgers that participated in our interview in the last episode.

Thank you to all that have been interested enough to listen to any of our episodes and special gratitude to those who have been patient enough to follow us from the beginning of the year until now.



Prepare your New Year’s resolutions, we are going to make 2020 more sustainable!

Christmas is coming. Unfortunately, not all traditions are innocent and a rising tide of year end consumerism is not sustainable. In this episode we head out to the city of Gothenburg asking people how they celebrate their holidays and If they have a sustainability mindset in their plans.

What if this year instead of buying a gift you tried making it? Not everything has to be brand new - look into second hand alternatives. Instead of getting things that may not even be used, try buying a memorable experience. There are many ways to show love to your friends and family. 

Don’t buy a floorball stick just because you want to try out a new sport. Who knows? You might not do it again! So why wasting money and resources of the planet on buying something that you will never use? There’s a place called Fritidsbanken where you can borrow things for all kinds of indoors/outdoors activities for FREE.

In today’s episode our second time guest Karin talks about Fritidsbanken and how it can help you save money and have some fun. She also explained what happened to Fixoteket.

And don’t miss our change of the week segment! We discovered the hand dishwasher bar and dishwasher machine flakes from Malin i Ratan. They are produced in Sweden and they come wrapped in paper.

Latest research on black holes reveals: “Your plastic bottle doesn’t simply disappear into a black hole just because you put it in a specially marked container before you walk away patting yourself on the back for being such a good boy”

Second episode out! This time in One and a Half vegan we are visited by a good friend, Silviu, and we talk about circular economy. Last weekend, Timi and Silviu visited cykelköket, that bicycle kitchen - a place where you can go get, fix, improve or otherwise pimp your bike. It was quite a rainy day for a bike ride, but some moisture can’t stop us!
