- Next year I will continue to work with the side furrow, and also find more side furrows to restore.

I have lectured in libraries and I want to do that more.

Then I talk to experts who give me tips, and I will continue to talk to the electricity companies and ask them what they intend to do to improve their environmental work, says Edvin Kronberg, who is 11 years old and lives in Runemo.

Edvin lights up when he is told that he is well known among the officials at the county government who work with water issues and tells him that he wants to become a limnologist, that is, someone who is an expert on life in freshwater environments, when he grows up.

Political attention

- All eight parties came here one day and talked to me.

There were politicians from both the municipality and the region, and the Riksdag.

Now they unfortunately stopped the environmental test, but I still think that we are well on our way to making things better, says Edvin Kronberg.
