Sweden, a country considered a model in terms of ecology and which is often idealized in the collective imagination.
It must be said that the country has been able to develop, for several decades, a climate policy that many other Western countries envy.
In France, President Emmanuel Macron even made Sweden a source of inspiration.
But Sweden is also a country of contradictions: at the forefront in terms of selective sorting, recycling and green energy, it is also the homeland of IKEA and H&M, brands that have exported a model based on the hyperconsumption that has conquered many countries in the world.
And it would take more than 4 planets today if the rest of the world started to live like the Swedes.
