I was once out walking with a friend from the US visiting Norway, and I picked up some of the trash I found on our walk. Which they thought was very weird and asked why I would do that (not my trash = not my responsibility), and my answer was just Why would I not..? (My country, my neighborhood, my nature = my responsibility)

Funny story: Mike Jittlow is an american filmmaker (a very nice guy).. He is perhaps a bit too nice.. He visited Norway a couple of years ago, and was invited to a restaurant. His friends recommended the beefsteak, and he chose that (not mentioning that he is allergic to beef). He was very surprised when after a while he felt totally fine, and he realized that he was allergic to US beef...

yeah a lot of food in america is illegal in europe,we don't process our food as much as america does,the problem i think is because of the size of america,i have always wondered why americans,don't have the food production near every big city in every state,and those places only produces food for that state,and if it's to cold,they can always use greenhouses,that can house fruit trees.

I live in Southern Norway, and we can get both groceries and takeaway delivered to our house. We can go shopping every day, and on weekends if we want to. We have one of Northern Europe's biggest shopping centres in my city...... We also can purchase items online and get them delivered. Both from Norwegian online shops and from abroad. It's not a problem ordering from Amazon in US, I've done that several times, and from other American shops..... 😊

about our water supply; y'know those fancy "Voss" -waterbottles your snobs drink? -yeah....that stuff IS from a particular area, but it's basicly our tapwater about Amazon; amazon does ship to Norway, no big centres though, since they refused to comply with our work regulations.... no, Norway imports most of the foodstuff; less than 3/4% of the land is suitable for farming, people eat a lot of bread, spaghetti, etc. -different grainfoods+ a lot of vegetables & fruit that don't really thrive in northern climates(tomato, sweet potatoe, banana, mango, oranges, etc). all these things could obviously be grown in glasshouses, but the point is that it's much cheaper to import

We can order from Amazon but if you do, the shipping cost is higher than the products you ordered 😞 So that’s why we don’t usually order from Amazon. But sometimes if it’s something you really really want, and Amazon it’s the only website we can get that product from! That’s the only reason why we don’t or do order from them 🙌🏼😊 Norway has so strict laws about what products that’s allowed to be shipped in this country 🤷🏼‍♀️ And that’s actually really enjoining!! Like just hair care and spesial brands is not okay because of what’s inside the product!

One thing you'll see A LOT more of in the U.S. is the 'no trespassing' signs. Anytime an American gets their hands on some 'outdoor property' or 'wilderness property', the 'no trespassing' signs go up meaning that everyone else has to stay off that property! In Norway, there is a law that basically states that all wilderness property is open to the public!

If you put a needle on Mandal in Norway, and tie a thread around it, and pull the thread up to Nordkapp in Northern Norway, we saw the same length of thread reach further than to Rome in Italy. But then Norway is also a fairly thin country, which means that from the sea to the border with Sweden is at its thinnest only 6.3 km as the crow flies.

The water in norway are one of the best in the world. It's a rare thing too find soo good quality of water there you could easily be drinking tap water (from your sink) and it's actually water. Many countries you need too buy a bottle too drink it. We don't need that. If there would be any issue with the water quality (they are checking it frequently) you will be sent a warning in your area. So it's very open and given good information about it when it's bad quality (that's very rare), but things can be happending. Some of the reason that Oslo are now building second water reserve water supply in case of terror or anything else. And that's also true. We do not have amazon (delivery base here in norway), but i have lately been using it more when i wan't too order some thing as long it dosen't need too have a plug. Because then i would have too be looking for eu plug, and it's not a common thing amazon do offer. Takes about a week or so or even longer and therefor i'm not using it so often. But i do like it that they ain't big here. We need too keep the small and medium business alive. Shopping mall has taken out many of them so we don't need less business and with the things that they are so big with robotic, automation we don't like it. And yeah she is completly right about the consume / shopping culture are alot different. In U.K or in United States you have all of the ads that affects you going too the shopping mall or amazon all the time in fact overspending is a huge problem in this two countries, but most of us in Norway (norwegian) don't do that because we are saving first. Thinking two or three times before we are buying a new items and that's lead into less shopping and and less stress due the working and available / free time. We in Norway are saying that most of us could be happily with $70.000 but the American people need for example $500.000 a year too be living comfortable. I know that most of the Norwegian don't have $70.000 in salary, but it's much, much lower then the american people that need too be living a comfortable lifestyle. With $70.000 you could be having most of the necussary things in Norway and having a good life.

Salmonella is rarely detected in Norwegian livestock and in Norwegian-produced food. There is limited use of antibiotics and other medicines in agriculture, so the meat is therefore of better quality than in many other places. The content of pesticide residues in food on the Norwegian market is low. There are most discoveries of pesticide residues in food imported from countries outside the EU/EEA.

25:50 I may be wrong about the taxation, let me start off with that being said, but I think the reason for the import taxation was to ensure the Norwegian Economy would continue thriving. As more and more people started shopping online, especially from foreign countries, more and more money was going out of Norway, meaning that there was less money circulating within the Norwegian economy, and I think this is why they decided to implement the importation taxation for purchases from outside of Norway. If I'm not mistaken, the taxation is 25% of the total cost of the item(s) bought plus the shipping cost, those 25% are money that then gets to continue circulating in the Norwegian economy, far less than the total amount of money that went out of Norway for the purchase, but it is at least some money.

Norway imports a lot of the food, especially fruit and vegetables, from other countries. We do export a lot of fish in return. In the large cities you have pretty much the same conveniences as anywhere else, but in the rural areas there is less people an therefore not the market to sustain such business models.

People connect to nature.... I am not sure... Then you live in so dramatic nature that most of Norway has, its the other way around. Nature here calling you out. Who can just stand and just look at all the amazing places, you have to go out and "play" with it! Even cold dark winters is fun bec is soo dramatic cold and dark. Bad rainstorms wash nature so clean and beautiful that you need to cry a little bit of happyness then the sunshine shows up again! Oh yes! The tapped wather in my house is no less then fantastic! Near by mountians with permafrost and all year snow deposit makes the wather perfect.

We don't have Amazon in Norway, as in we don't have one for our specific country. We can still use Amazon (I've used the US and UK amazon for orders) if the seller is willing to ship to Norway, but we have to consider international shipping costs and import taxes when we do, so it gets really expensive (it's not uncommon for the total to be doubled or more, so it's only really worth it if we have no local alternative to get the items).

You can order from Amazon or any website/shop online from overseas, but yes we don’t have Amazon as a company in Norway… and it’s different when you live in the bigger cities as opposed to a smaller town or village out in the more remote rural areas, where service is less great in terms of speed, availability and options. But in any urban areas this isn’t an issue. Why I love living in Oslo lol. The taxes is baked into the price at checkout when shopping online, and you have to pay import and shipping fees. That’s the only con. And we do have takeout, drive throughs etc. But again regional differences and where in the country you live, rural vs urban areas… And yes it’s very expensive to import food which is why we have little in terms of international foods to choose from unless it’s made in Norway. Speaking of brands here. Cheetos was recently pulled as it contains a red color that is illegal or banned here. And foodwise in other countries take away (i junk is for the poor, here it’s seen as unhealthy and as a comfort food. Food in general is very expensive and only gotten worse over the past 15+ years, and except for kebabs, McDonalds, Burger King and Dominos, eating out or order take away is expensive. It’s cheaper to just buy fresh produce and make from scratch. Food boxes has become extremely popular here, where you can get a subscription and choose between many different dishes, then they will be sent to your door, with the appropriate amount per person and the ingredients it self to make the dish including the recipe.

Yep no Amazon stationed in Norway. I can go on the website and buy stuff but the taxes and shipping... the benefit of Amazon being cheap disappears because the shipping costs so much because it has to come from warehouses outside of Norway. Because of that I only buy things off Amazon twice a year *at most*. I am glad Norway has such a strict workers right law, but dang doesn't it hurt sometimes when I want a salt-shaker in the shape of a wand or a special cat toy. It always winds up with me going through my wishlist and filtering out the Wants from the Needs.

The US suffers from the many years of "rugged individualism" propaganda. In Norway it's us, we and ours. Not me, myself and mine. We take it seriously that we should leave no one behind. That everyone deserves an equal chance, regardless how rich you are. Medical care, for everyone. School, for everyone. Higher education, for everyone. Not just based on how well off your parents are, or if you are in the very small percentage that might get a scholarship. What you do with those options here of course means people end up in different places in life. Even then we have the social safety nets to catch those that don't fit the mould, or that can't work through disability or other limitations. Also, if you ever see the fancy water in a glass bottle named VOSS in the US, that's Norwegian tap-water ;) No joke. And it's amazing. We flush with better water than most people drink. Also, I lived in the UK for 8 years, and missed takeout when I came back. So instead I learned how to cook my favourite takeout meals from the UK, but healthier ;) So it improved my cooking skill. No loss for me to be perfectly honest.

Freeluftsliv is how we grow up rewinding and wind down. Relax. It’s what we consider freedom. To be able to enjoy nature and roam free. It’s also healthy for mind and soul as well as the body. Being active and out in nature as well as animals is a huge part of our culture as it starts from when we’re kids. Also bwcause of our unpredictable weather conditions, my mom who is in her 70’s will still nag if “nice weather outside”, to not sit inside which is basically seen as a cardinal sin lol. Whenever there’s sun, you will see Norwegians be outside to get their tan on… why skin cancer is a huge problem here too. And it’s a given that our population is small because historically due to the geography and all the fjords and mountains agriculture isn’t easy here. It also means less space overall. Half the population died off during the Black Plague, 1 million emigrated to the US for a better life. And it took us years to recover. People don’t realize that it’s because of the smaller population that we could have the wealth and welfare benefits that we have. The more people, the less resources available for everyone… that and our humble beginnings is a result of that and the reason why we have the values and culture that we now have, which many of Norwegians take for granted. And the stereotype of Norwegians being cold is due to the fact that we learn from very early on not to talk to strangers, for safety I guess, and it’s also because we don’t want to be a bother. And we don’t want to invest our time and energy into befriending new people if it’s only gonna be surface level or superficial, tho some do due to popularity. It’s also seen as rude and for many is uncomfortable as we value privacy and personal space. That’s it. This completely ch ages when we are drunk or go hiking for some weird reason🤣🤣🤣 I guess it’s because it’s the collective culture and awareness of what we do in nature, and that’s when we are the most chill and relaxed from everyday stress.

the size of the population affects water quality. More people, more pollutions... In the US, most people drive a car everywhere, use bleach for regular cleaning, etc. Pollution goes up in the air, and comes down in rain, etc. out into the drains and then lots of chemicals etc. to clean the water. Up here in the Nordics, we protect our environment much more. In every possible way. (Bottled water itself is an environmental culprit)

I would just like to say that the claim of Oslo having so much green space is a bit disingenuous. The administrative area of Oslo includes a forested area that covers more than half the administrative area, but it's outside the urban area. There isn't 70% green space in the urban area itself. Don't get me wrong, there are green spaces in the urban area, but it's not 70% of the area.

About pullotion and clean up after your self, its NOT only cus the population! - Check how Japan even is almost extreem about it (+ its their culture and about "clear mind" Also about their green spaces with beautiful trees, flowers, wather-fountains, and make so beautiful smal water ponds We have Amazon, - but its sooo bad quality, much crap, and the sizes on clothes we laugh about when get a too smal too big - sometimes we order a few things, - just for fun, like a "suprase" 🎁, and feel lucky if we can use it 😂😂 Most stores deliver here as well. Easy apps to use. I use that every week -'very nice in winther not need to take snow ane ice from care many times each day. I've seen som of your videoes with wrong information. Ex about when stores close. She said 16 or 17 pm, but its open to 23.00 pm every weeday, 20.00 pm saturdys. (Its about they who work in the stores also can have days off, and enjoy weekend. (And from old rule about religion, "restday" and for go to the church and respeckt for the religion, cus before the religion was obligatorisk by the state) AND TRY IMAGINE ONE DAY EACH WEEK WHEN ITS MORE QUIET, LESS TRAFIC, ... WE REALY PRITIATE THAT. After ouer sundays-outdors activities, we enjoy ouer home-made food with family or friends. Fire up inside with wood, have it veeeery cosy About sundays one in your video said it right about the rule about only smal shops aloued to be open = gas stations have that we need the miost. Many go early to buy fresh (almost warm) bread, cus its fresh breads + bakery 24/7 (By the way, now i see/think ahout we stil say gas station ... when we dont buy patrol or diesel 😂) But the trucks/trailers of course need diesel + some stil use patrol + to ouer boats and mc + tourists. - Okey, then still say gas station 😅 Most of us refuse bye from where we know its young kids who must work looong days in uhamane places, sit hungy, dirty on the floor 😢😢🤬🤬 - a biiig topic some years ago about as an example Ninke, H&M, clothes of cotton, cus we choose organic cotton.
