I wonder if the Nordic languages would be in a healthier state in this respect, in terms of usage and not resorting to English in mixed groups, if their television broadcasting had been shared among each other more, instead of each country looking so much to the USA for programming. The Nordic countries used to be a single linguistic space for educated people and you can still witness this practice among the elderly. Why exactly couldn't young people growing up in, for example, Sweden and Denmark watch and learn from Norway's Uti vår hage just like Americans could watch Monty Python or Fawlty Towers?

Norwegian and Swedish seems to be healthier than Danish. I don't have the feeling that Danes generally gives a shit about the health of the language and a decent percentage would probably favour just switching to English entirely.
