After completing his studies in journalism, he pursued a job with an environmental magazine, of which he is now editor-in-chief. This is an achievement that he is very proud of, as it has given him the opportunity to combine his ability to communicate with his passion for the environment. Now, his greatest personal and professional ambition is to improve the amount and the quality of information that Greek citizens are receiving on the environment. If such a thing were achieved, it would turn the discussion on the environment into a central public issue and oblige political and private stakeholders to face the issue in a more serious and urgent manner.

 

Featured Advocates



Ágnes Vértesi - Ágnes is currently doing her Msc. in Envrionmentally Studies at Eötvös Loránd University. She is working as well as a trainee at an energy agency and as a special editor for a news site. In her free time she plays football, sings for a choir and she loves to be with her family and friends. Born in Budapest, raised in a village with a population of about 260 people and now living in Budapest again, she sees the difference between these two determining lifestyles of mankind. But they have one thing in common, whether they live in a city or the country, that mankind has made huge and irreversible changes to our planet. One of them is climate change, and the most important role belongs to carbon-dioxide, which lead her straight to the low-carbon principle and the Challenge Europe programme. She is obsessed with the idea of 'never too late to learn or act' so she is trying to insipre everyone to change and start caring about our environment. Her motto (originally spoken by Jane Goodall) is: 'We have a choice to use the gift of our lives to make the world a better place.'
