Scandic Hovik is located in Oslo, in the region of Oslo of Norway . This country, with respect to its size, is one of the most advanced in the world regarding the management of its waste .
By 2030, Norway hopes to be a country that is carbon neutral. This means that the country plans to find ways so that there are no greenhouse gases emitted. This seems like a very steep goal as Norway is heavily reliant upon its oil rigs for export as well as for a source of energy. To achieve their goal, the government will be making big purchases of carbon offsets . Oslo more specifically is a city whose inhabitants are mobilizing more and more in order to implement local solutions to limit one way or another their ecological footprint .
