Did you know that:  

👉According to the UN, by 2050 68% of the world population will live in urban areas. Cities have a crucial role to play on our path to sustainability. Copenhagen, Stockholm, Vancouver, and Singapore give us good examples of how to develop urban transportation solutions that are less carbon-intensive.
👉 We produce 300 million tons of plastic each year worldwide, half of which is for single-use items.
👉 Solar power is the most abundant energy source on Earth and solar power plants can last 40 years or more. The cost of producing panels and storage solutions has been decreasing steadily for the past years.
👉 Circular economy concepts are becoming more mainstream and go beyond just recycling. An estimated 80% of a product’s environmental impact is determined already at the design stage, giving us plenty of opportunities to reduce the product’s carbon footprint already in the making phase

These are just some of the facts that we can explore when we talk about changing our planet for the better.

💛 Who are we looking for? 

We’re looking for sparkly-eyed humans, young people, who want to make a tremendous difference, and who have a strong will to change and save the fate of our beloved planet. Environmental action is not just for a specific kind of person, and you don’t have to fit into any stereotype to be an environmentalist. This event is your chance to work with a group of hardworking, willing, and determined people.
