Internet Activism.
In an apartment on Ensjø in Oslo, six girls have gathered in the kitchen. On the table are chocolates of various shapes and sizes. There is neither Freia, Nestlé nor Nidar. Instead, the chocolates are labeled organic: with or without palm oil, with fair trade and / or vegan. The girls will find out which ones are the most environmentally friendly and fair, and of course which ones taste best. Then they will tell you what to do on the "Green Girls" blog.
The chocolate test summarizes a new trend. Green Girls is a blog collective that seeks a better world. The girls will inspire others to live environmentally friendly and healthy, and they want the road there to be as comfortable and accessible as possible. Green rose blogging they call it. The chocolate should be good in every way, also in taste.
The idea for Green Girls came in 2011 already. The ten bloggers have a background in the environmental movement, and they had seen the need to use other types of channels than seminars, lectures and actions to reach beyond the "climate community" with knowledge of how to live sustainably.
- We wanted to show that living green is cool and trendy, and something that everyone can do. The pink blog must be the perfect format to reach many people who might not otherwise have been concerned about the climate, we thought, says blogger Lan Marie Nguyen Berg.
Green Girls blogs about food, well-being, style and experiences, and keeps up with opinions on politics, the environment, commercialism and women's struggle. Is this how the activist in 2014 can arrive in the jungle of the rose that characterizes the Scandinavian countries?
