瑞典服装HM公司的旧衣服是可以回收的

北欧绿色邮报网报道(记者陈雪霏)–瑞典著名时装公司HM今天发布年度报告称,利润比上年增加7%。不过最让人印象深刻的是店铺的扩张,去年一年增加了427个店铺和35个网店。

北欧绿色邮报网关注的是HM时装公司的可持续发展举措。还真不错,HM非常注重供应商,合作伙伴,水,材料等多线条的可持续性。

什么是可持续性啊?天天赚钱就可持续了吗?关键是吸引人的理念。HM时装公司和宜家有点儿相似,就是要让所有的人都能享受时装产品,价格一定要可以接受,产品获得一定要方便。

同时,HM提倡服装回收。如果你把自己最喜欢的衣服藏在角落,多年以后,没准儿又时髦了,还可以拿出来穿,不要不好意思,不要觉得过时了。因为我们如果把旧衣服都随垃圾扔出去烧掉,那么地球上的棉花,和塑料是不够我们消费的。所以,无论你的服装是棉的,还是化纤的,都可以送到离家最近的HM服装店去回收,即使破了,他们也要,只要是HM品牌的。这就是他们履行社会责任的一个方法。

顾客可以选择。HM的棉花要来自有良心的棉农,就是说在种棉花的时候就要少上化肥和农药。

HM 从2013年开始回收旧衣服,到目前为止已经回收了32000吨服装材料相当于一亿件T恤衫。HM认为,原材料是有限的。如果我们把旧衣服都随着垃圾扔到填埋场或者烧掉,那么,原料供应是不够的。因此在每个HM店都可以回收HM品牌的旧衣服。

另外, HM还教你要经常搞搞服装交换活动,这样,也可以避免重复购买或者浪费金钱。和其他人换穿时装并不丢人。二手店生意不错。

Swedish master photographer Nilsson: respect for life

Stockholm, Jan. 31(Greenpost)–Swedish master photographer Nilsson: respect for life

Email | Print | Subscribe | Comments | Forum Swedish master medical photographer Lennart Nilsson is a pioneer in medical photography. In association with researchers and with the help of advanced, specially designed equipment, he has documented the inside of man down to the level of a cell with his camera.

Born in Strängnäs, a satellite city of Stockholm, in 1922, Nilsson got his first camera from his father when he was 11 years old. From the early stage, he has been interested in looking at ants and taking photos of them.Throughout the years, he has devoted special attention to capturing the creation of a human being, from conception to birth.

In 2006 when his photo book Life was published in both Swedish and English, he was invited to give a lecture at the Stockholm bookstore. He vividly described to the public how he took the photos so that the development process of the embryo can be understood better.

Finally when he was signing his name in the book, I asked him what made him so passionate about working on this, he stopped writing and thought for a second, “I think it is the respect for life,” Nilsson said.

Nilsson began his career as a photographic journalist in the middle of the 1940s and published a number of photo-essays in Swedish and foreign magazines, including “Polar Bear Hunting in Spitzbergen” (1947) and Midwife.

In order to take a good photo of a midwife who had helped deliver 2500 babies, Nilsson followed her for months and finally, he published a collection of the women who later donated the album to a local museum.

“In 1953, I got an assignment for Life to photograph Dag Hammarskjold’s arrival in New York as UN Secretary General and then got the assignment of photographing of the human embryo, I took the two kinds of photos to the editor, the editor said the embryo is extraordinary,” Nilsson told reporters recently at a press conference in Stockholm when the new contemporary photography museum Fotografiska opened in the Stockholm Harbor.

Instead of taking a portrait of the Secretary General, Nilsson gave a full picture of the UN chief’s office with a table, three sofas and a telephone showing a world leader full of thoughts and vision for the whole world.

“When I went to the professor to take the embryo photo, I was looking around and then I saw something which was unbelievable, it was a tiny human embryo lies in a very special place, a 10-20 millimeter embryo with hands, arms and eyes, and I got a shock,” Nilsson said.

Nilsson began experimenting with new photographic techniques in the mid-1950s to report on the world of ants and life in the sea. His revealing macro-studies were published in his book on ants, Myror (1959), and in the Life in the Sea (1959), and in Close to Nature (1984).In the 1960s special designed, very slim endoscopes made it possible for him to photograph the blood vessels and the cavities of the body with the necessary depth of field and, in 1970,he used a scanning electron microscope for the first time, he was also considered the vanguard for three dimension digital pictures of the body organs.

After his photographs of human embryo were published, he was encouraged to continue photographing the origins of human being.

In order to show the foetal development from the earliest stage he used macro-lenses and instruments with special wide-angled lenses.

“This takes many years, and it was taken black and white first and after about a year with special interference condenser, they were made colored,” Nilsson explained to People’s Daily Online in his exhibition gallery in the museum.

“It was taken with microscope interference, and the other was taken with scanning microscope, this is done for scientists as well as for ordinary people to see, I work with scientists, top people at Karolinska Institute, but it is also very important for people to see,” Nilsson said.

The publication in 1965 in Life, ‘The Drama of Life before Birth’, became a milestone. His famous book A Child is Born was published in the same year and has since been published in five editions in over twenty countries, according to the information from his webpage.

“In 1958, I believe, I was thinking about giving up photography for five years to study medicine. I didn’t want to become a doctor, but wanted to learn the basics. But a professor I was working with advised against it. He said, ‘Lennart, don’t lose those five valuable years. Read the literature and then put us researchers to use – we’ll have all the latest news!’” he said in an earlier interview.

He was under contract as a photographer for Life from 1965-1972 and produced stories on the heart and heart attacks, the microscopic view inside the body and the brain.

His experiments with photography and light microscopy were succeeded by his use of the scanning electron microscope, which provided not only magnification of hundreds of thousands times but sharp three-dimensionality.

Nilsson has established an international reputation for his films for television on the human body, but he has also directed his attention to the animal world and the plant and insect world.

He was the first person to take the photo of HIV virus and through that process scientists found that some people in Africa can never get HIV. He has also taken photographs of cancer cells for research.

Talking about the technology, he revealed that light was the enemy for him to take photos because the subject he took was always too small and in dark place.

Nilsson has received a number of eminent awards and prizes for his photographic work. He was the first recipient of The Erna and Victor Hasselblad Foundation’s Photography Award in 1980 and received the ICP Infinity Award in 1992 among others.

Nilsson became a member of the Swedish Society of Medicine in 1969, received an honorary doctorate in medicine from Karolinska Institute in 1976, an Honorary Doctor of Philosophy from the Technische Unversität Braunschweig in Germany in 2002, and an Honorary Doctor of Philosophy from Linköping University in Sweden in 2003.

In 2009 the Swedish Government awarded Nilsson the honorary title of professor.

NASA’s unmanned spacecraft Voyager I and Voyager II both carried photographs from A Child is Born on their journey through the solar system and out into the universe.

As a result, his work has been collected by a number of museums and institutions, including the British Museum in London, Tokyo Fuji Art Museum, MOMA in New York, Hasselblad Foundation in Gothenburg, National Museum and the Modern Museum in Stockholm.

Since 1998, the Lennart Nilsson Award has been presented annually during the Karolinska Institute’s installation ceremony. It is given in recognition of extraordinary photography of science and is sponsored by the Lennart Nilsson Foundation.

“I like to read biographies about people who have contributed a lot to humanity. I listen to classical music when I work, ideally Beethoven. And I hum and sing when I work. It could be old narrative songs or anything at all,” Nilsson said when he was interviewed earlier by the local media.

Nilsson said in his life, he admired Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) and Marie Curie (1867-1935). And he thinks that originality of ideas is important. The greatest thing is to be first with an idea!

Nilsson is very modest and sincere. At age of nearly 88, he is still cooperating with colleagues in Karolinska Institute where the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine is selected every year.

“If they have an interest, be persistent, I have many assistants and students and this is very important because they are welcomed to get connection with Karolinska Institute, it is very important to feel welcomed and to be there and get more information from it, Karolinska Institute is working for one reason, that is for health, to discover ways to deal with cancer, so I am very glad to be included in the program in autumn,” Nilsson said to People’s Daily Online on advice to young scholars and how he keeps fit.

“He can forget all the other things when he is working and he is still working diligently,” Mrs Nilsson told People’s Daily Online.

记者在2006年第一次见到他时,那是他的作品《生命》画册出版的时候。记者问他是什么使他能创作出这样惊人的作品时,让想了几秒钟,然后说,是对生命的尊重。

images (5)images (3)

后来,他的作品展在Fotographiska 举办,记者这次正式采访他,并给新华社提供报道。他说,其实,不光是我一个人的功劳,这些作品之所以能够成功,也是因为有很多医生护士,包括真正的小宝宝及其妈妈们的全力帮助和配合才能实现这个难以完成的使命。

images (6)images (13)

一个人的成功有偶然性,但也有必然性。这就和一个人的敬业精神和敬业程度有关了。

images (7)images (9)

尼尔松8岁的时候就开始鼓捣相机,从那时起就对相机痴迷,而且使用过各种各样的相机。

images (10)images (12)

他最早出名是到联合国总部为瑞典人联合国秘书长达格哈马舍尔德拍摄肖像。但随后他接到了拍摄出生前儿童的状态的任务。
