Hysing & Olsson published a paper in 2011 revealing that 23% of all Swedish municipalities had a green inside activists (a form of public official) residing within them. Our paper aims to highlight the activity of this specific brand of public officials which many know little about. Considering recent events, particularly Greta Thunberg’s strike and the Swedish public official petition in the government office, this study reused Hysing and Olsson’s (2011) questionnaire survey to examine the local environmental office in Örebro municipality to identify the presence of green inside activists. In comparison to Hysing & Olssons study results, no green inside activists were identified nor could their activity be reviewed. The study requires further research concerning the eventual presence of other bureaucratic archetypes.
