Me, My Choices, and the Environment

Welcome to a green adventure on Kungsholmen! 🌱🦋

Here, you’ll discover nature’s secrets, try out fun challenges, and learn how small actions can make a big difference for the environment and the climate. Together, we’ll explore animals, plants, recycling, energy, and much more.

We hope this material inspires you to learn more together, talk about environmental issues at home, and share what you’ve learned in the language that feels most natural to you.

🙏 A big thank you to all the companies, organizations, and businesses in the municipality that are committed to our students and future generations. Through your support, you help provide children and families with knowledge, hope for the future, and the opportunity to help build a more sustainable society.

👋 Every new piece of knowledge and every small step helps make our community and our planet a little greener. 🌍💚

In everything that moves, shines, or makes a sound...

...there's a battery that needs to be returned!👍

El-Kretsen is a national collection system for electronic waste and batteries.

Together with all 290 municipalities in the country, a number of different recycling companies, and all the producers who support and fund the entire operation, we have built a system that truly makes a difference. 🌍

Recycling conserves the Earth’s resources by allowing us to reuse materials that have already been extracted once. Furthermore, the energy required for recycling is only a fraction of what is needed for mining, for example.

💡Even though we recycle a lot, we still have a ways to go before all materials and substances can be recycled back into their original form. We’re on our way there, but it requires further development—and that development starts in school.

Through our collaboration with Natur &Miljöboken, we hope to help spark curiosity and provide insight into why, what, and how we should collect and recycle electronic waste and batteries.
