Are you interested in small footprint living? 
Our summary today works with the article titled Small is beautiful? Stories of carbon footprints, socio-demographic trends and small households in Denmark from 2021 by Tullia Jack and Diana Ivanova, published in the Energy Research & Social Science journal. 
This episode is a great preparation for our next interviewee, Colin Chee in episode 117 talking about small foot print living with its advantages and disadvantages. 
Plus, since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how household size is connected to carbon footprints. This article presents different Danish cohorts and opportunities to decrease their footprints with storytelling and policy-making.
As the most important things, I would like to highlight 3 aspects:

Humanity is increasingly living in single or double occupant households but these lifestyles add greatly to our negative impacts on the environment.
Storytelling could be a way to help people understand their possibilities in decreasing their carbon footprint in an empathetic way, working toward socially and environmentally sustainable futures.
Policy-makers need to take into account the change in lifestyles and create requirements for city dwelling to be more sustainable in single and double occupant households.
