==Social innovation of the ecosystem==
As comical, conspiratorial, and insane as it seems, Sweden's elite rulers have made the decision, and taken concrete steps as the model social democratic state, to reduce the nation's [[carbon footprint]] by turning their country into a [[Third World]] hellhole.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20170218093846/http://www.whyileftsweden.com</ref> The technical term for this project is "social ecological transformation,"<ref>[https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://dspace.mah.se/handle/2043/18345&ved=0ahUKEwik69K9MrRAhUBV2MKHWFbA34QFggkMAI&usg=AFQjCNF9pGU56iFzioB6PAB06nApP00vcg&sig2=OtNteBonRyrsOQhQTV_M1g An Ecosystem for Social Innovation in Sweden], F.

In 2008 the World Wildlife Fund experts claimed we would need 2.0 planets to sustain lifestyles "if everyone lived as Swedes do." A "one planet economy" is the goal.<ref>See section on
