Denmark is hosting COP15 later this year, in December. Instead of buying the usual conference gifts for delegates and participants, they used the saving to offer scholarships to study climate change-related subjects in Denmark. Grants cover tuition fees and living. Bravi. Now, next question is: how much do these conference gift cost usually!?

Yes, OK, I know. One person only (out of... how many billions?) doesn't solve anything... I take it as an experiment.
So, this is day 1.
As a day one, it was preatty successful: I didn't trow away any piece of plastic at all. Usual life: drinking tap water, carrying around my fabric bag, no visit to the supermarket. Mmmh, hold on, actually I used some yist (to make bread), it was wrapped in a piece of paper,which, as usual, was packed within plastic. Ok something went to the trash, still not bad at all.
