On Friday the 26th of June, Sweden had its launch for the second year of Challenge Europe. The European Commission in Sweden hosted the event and their venue, “House of Europe” in the centre of Stockholm, proved to be an inspiring place to meet up. By the end of the day, the climate advocates were bubbling with enthusiasm and ideas for projects. Swedish Climate advocate Johan Erlandsson gives his views about the first meeting on the blog Ecoprofile, which he started in 2001. It is now one of Sweden’s biggest eco blogs and was voted best environment blog in 2007. Read his report and see pictures from the meeting here: http://www.ecoprofile.se/9_1513_Challenge_Europe_2009_2010.htm
