Elise og Andreas er unge og nygifte. De er enige om én ting – at de skal bruke mest mulig tid på å være ute. Være i fjellet, gå, jakte, fiske … og pointeren Tuva blir etter hvert et livlig medlem av den lille familien. Det handler ikke nødvendigvis om å søke seg bort fra sivilisasjonen og det urbane livet, men å skape en jevn rytme i hverdagen der naturen spiller en stor og viktig rolle, skriver forfatterne. De vil føle seg som en del av samspillet i naturen og tar på alvor et grunnleggende behov hos begge for å oppleve noe annet enn jobb og hverdagsliv for en periode. Med dette utgangspunktet blir ideen om ett år ute til. Det skal fylles med hverdagseventyr i form av ensomme uker i høyfjellet og i skogen, på Dovrefjell, i Finnmark, indre Troms, Lyngen, i Vesterålen eller Nord-Sverige.

PLANLEGGINGEN
Da beslutningen først var tatt, begynte planleggingsfasen. Godt utstyr er avgjørende, men forfatterne har liten sans for utstyrsjaget. Det som fungerer skal benyttes til det er «brukt opp». Elise og Andreas har fremdeles soveposer kjøpt for konfirmasjonspengene... En smule kondis og styrke er også avgjørende for livskvalitet på tur. Problemer av helsemessig art kan dukke opp underveis, langt unna et legekontor. Hva gjør du da? Begge to sørget for en grundig sjekk både hos tannlege og lege før turstart og gikk til innkjøp av nødvendig førstehjelpsutstyr. Mat på lange turer er alltid en utfordring. Ferdig frysetørket mat er enkelt, men blir fort kostbart. Elise og Andreas velger å ha med en del basisvarer, men satser på å jakte og fiske underveis.

This inspiring picture book retells the story of nobel peace prize nominee Greta Thunberg - the Swedish teenager who has led a global movement to raise awareness about the world's climate crisis - using allegory to make this important topic accessible to young children. Greta is a little girl who lives in a beautiful forest threatened by giants. When the giants first came to the forest, they chopped down trees to make houses.

then they chopped down more trees and made even bigger homes. The houses grew into towns and the towns grew into cities, until now there is hardly any forest left. Greta knows she has to help the animals who live in the forest, but how? Luckily, Greta has an idea...

a section at the back explains that, in reality, the fight against the 'giants' isn't over and explains how you can help Greta in her fight. This book has been printed sustainably in the uk on 100% recycled paper. By buying a copy of this book, you are making a donation of 3% of the cover price to Greenpeace UK.

Møt Greta Thunberg, den inspirerende klimaaktivisten som startet en global bevegelse. Da unge Greta fikk høre om klimakrisen, sluttet hun å snakke. Hun kunne ikke skjønne hvorfor de som satt med makten ikke gjorde noe for å redde jorda vår. En dag bestemte hun seg for å streike i stedet for å gå på skolen. Det tok ikke lang tid før mange andre unge ble med Greta i en global bevegelse som forbløffet både politikere og andre voksne. Denne engasjerende historien om en inspirerende klimaaktivist har også en bilde- og faktadel bakerst i boka.
