Helsinki – Brussels : we all want green cities

Promoting green values works everywhere as we all believe in ”Think globally, act locally”. In Helsinki like in Brussels we’ll soon vote for new city councils. It’s time for a fresh start. Promoting Green Brussels is like promoting Green Helsinki, cities of solidarity and transparency, cities for all cultures and generations. We both want to make our cities sustainable.

Celine and Laura, living respectively in Brussels and Helsinki, are candidates for city councils. As Green movement is a truly transnational, we share the same objectives.

Celine : ” I love Brussels. I’m not Belgian but I feel Brussels is my home town. I believe in ”together to live better, together to ensure sustainability in our quarters”. With Ecolo-Groen the Belgian Green Party we are promoting local transparent democracy, environmentally friendly activities and green places, local green economy, sustainable mobility and solidarity for all.

Laura: ”A happy Helsinki is an open one – it has urban open spaces, diversity and services that are equally accessible to everyone. A reasonable income, health care, affordable housing, a clean environment, acceptance of diversity and opportunities to influence one’s surroundings, are all prerequisites for happiness. This kind of home can only be built by means of open decision-making.”

Let’s have more Brussels in Helsinki and more Helsinki in Brussels!
