”Snålskjuts”, translated to ”Free ride”, is a piece about the relation between humans and nature. Questioning the limits of what is fair to the animals involved and where we are actually crossing a line and taking advantage of nature to fulfill our own needs and purposes. Often we enjoy an experience or action without even realizing the consequences or damages it might cause for the environment and our species, both at that moment of action but also in the long term. Can we question ourselves, when our actions or certain behaviour is really necessary, and when to start consider a more sustainable alternative?
