I am an environmental scientist in my thirties, I have studied geography and philosophy as minor subjects. I have been an environmental activist since I was young. My career as a conservationist started at the age of 10 as a WWF panda seller. When I was in middle school, I wrote about the unethical nature of rainforest wood for furniture companies and fur clothing stores about animal rights. I already wanted to be a scientist as a child; all sciences interested me greatly, especially biology, geography, history and philosophy. I graduated from a small-town high school with the best possible grades.
According to an old German definition of geography, the environment is everything that is around us; it has a psychological, ecological, built and social dimension. Environmental and sustainability specialist is my dream job; it is extremely important to me that the environment in which we live and exist is in every way healthy, safe, creative and comfortable, both for all people and for the other millions of species with whom we share our common home, planet Earth. Sustainability is protecting what is valuable and changing what is bad for the better. The world is plasticine. Happiness and meaning are the most important goals in life. I enjoy living in a lively and comfortable urban space as well as in beautiful natural areas. I travel a lot, both in urban and cultural destinations and in nature.
Sustainable development, both ecological and social, should be taken into account in all decision-making. Sustainable communities are happy, democratic, inclusive, prosperous, free, equal, and protect nature and valuable cultural heritage. They take care of the weak, the sick and the disadvantaged. Sustainable communities are built together. In this blog I discuss the environment and society and I hope that it will increase people's environmental awareness and social awareness. I think about and present solutions to the world's problems and analyze various developments. We must protect our own species as well as other species, ecosystem services and biodiversity.
I prefer to collect experiences rather than stuff. I enjoy traveling, going to the movies, everything related to nature and the outdoors (such as hiking, cycling, kayaking, etc.), games, various sports and music. I especially like disc golf and football, and I'm a big Huuhkajat fan. I have traveled and seen the world since I was a child. For example, I have hiked high in the mountains in a misty forest, walked on endless sand dunes, climbed a fell during a storm, seen the highest waterfall in Finland and even higher ones in the rain forest, seen big glaciers, climbed a volcano, had adventures in kilometers long stalactite caves and lava tunnels and boated on an underground lake, seen skyscrapers and traveled around the world on four on the oldest subway. I have also published two books of poetry and has written more than 300 Wikipedia articles. Life should be full of experiences and adventure. Life itself is an adventure, where the most important thing is to rejoice and enjoy the journey, to find meaning and friends, and above all to live morally, looking for your own happiness and that of others.
