Vinterbadning, or winterbathing, is a tradition where Danes alternate dips in cold water with stints in the sauna. I first learned about it on Archipelago, a podcast hosted by James Clasper, a fellow expat in Denmark. Courtesy of Chloé Skye Weiser

Now the brand has established dominance: For customers around the world, its blue tin, with its elegant cursive lettering and quaint Danish farmhouse, is inseparable from the experience of the cookies themselves. So, while that early disappointment should have made me wary, the Royal Dansk tin became a hypnotic object for me. Every few days, I opened the blue tin, as if there might be one last cookie to assuage my sadness. We were not unique in our attachment to the blue tin: It’s ubiquitous in many Asian and Latino households. As generations of immigrants know, there is no topping the Danish Butter Cookie tin as an all-purpose repository.

Like Sykes, it made a transition from black to green — and in doing so, it demonstrated it's possible for big energy companies to pivot to clean energy. To limit the influence of climate change, those emissions need to rapidly decrease — which means that big energy companies need to change their operations. A 2022 study found that 51% of the world's biggest publicly listed energy companies had not set out a strategy to reduce their emissions. Shell, for example, says it has about 50 gigawatts of renewable energy in operation, under construction, or in development. "If we could do the energy transition without them, I wouldn't be doing this," van Baal added.
