But if you’re moving house you need to find out who supplies water and sewerage to your current home, settling the bill and determining who your new water provide will be.

Regeringen skyddar den gotländska Ojnareskogen

Under en presskonferens på Gotland meddelande klimat- och miljöminister Åsa Romson att Ojnare blir ett naturskyddsområde – vilket troligtvis sätter stopp för den planerade stenbrytningen i området. Klimat- och miljöminister Åsa Romson meddelade i förmiddags att regeringen kommer att utnämna området kring Bästeträsk till ett Natura-2000 område.

Göran Hägglund börjar arbeta för privat vårdbolag

Precis som Stockholms förra sjukvårdslandstingsråd Filippa Reinfeldt (M) så börjar nu Göran Hägglund också med att arbeta för det privata vårdbolaget Aleris, rapporterar bland annat SvD. Skamligt, javisst men föga förvånande tyvärr. För snart har väl alla högt uppsatta politiker som har arbetat hårt för att låta privata riskkapitalistiska bolag skörda fritt i vår gemensamma välfärd "lämnat politiken" och gått över till just de här privata vårdbolagen.

YouGov-mätningen som säger att SD är Sveriges största parti är undermålig och missvisande

Enligt en uppmärksammad undersökning från YouGov som publicerades i förmiddags i tidningen Metro så ska Sverigedemokraterna nu tydligen vara Sveriges största parti, med 25,2 procent av rösterna. Men mätningen är högst tveksam och man bör inte ta den på allvar.  Mätningen baseras på svar från 1 527 respondenter och genomfördes mellan den 14 och 17 augusti.

Be a better person - leave your grandchildren a healthy Earth

“It’s not who we are underneath, but what we do that defines us”, I heard it said somewhere a while ago. After a couple of hours of thinking about this quote, I have realized a few things. I am not as good a person as I could be. No, I haven’t been a bad girl; I just haven’t been doing all that I could be. And I have set a goal for myself to change that aspect of my personality.
