Steinar Henning Lem (9 May 1951 – 28 April 2009) was a Norwegian environmental activist, author and spokesperson for The Future In Our Hands. He criticized the consumption-oriented society and focus on economic growth,[1] and the difference in income between the rich and poor part of the world.[2] He also supported better preservation of predators in Norway.[3] Lem died aged 57 from cancer at Aker University Hospital in Oslo, two months after the cancer had been found in his pancreas. He had a wife and two six-year-old daughters.[4][5]
Environmentalism
Lem joined The Future In Our Hands during the 1970s. He fronted the organization demanding higher fuel prices, higher taxation and increased aid to developing countries.[6] In 1994, he was a strong opponent in the European Union membership referendum.[4] During the 2000s, he stated that he had become in favor of Norwegian membership, since he felt the EU was better at solving environmental issues than Norwegian authorities.[7] He has also criticized the Norwegian authorities' immigration policy. In the last few weeks of his life, he stated that he would like more public debate about death.[5]
Authorship
Lem was educated at the University of Oslo with a master's degree in literature. He was awarded Terje Vesaas' debutantpris for his first book, Signaler, in 1973.[8]
