Branislav Haukvitz completed his university studies in Bratislava in1999. At University of Economics, Faculty of Economics and Informatics (FHI), he specialized in insurance mathematics and statistics. Since then he has worked in a commercial sphere. He is currently also involved in the Cultural Navigator programme of the British Council where he has successfully passed all training modules. During studies, simulations and discussion, he has realized that while there are many people willing to help and support each other, there are not too many, willing to take care of the Planet Earth. He is convinced that through a close relation with the Earth we can subsequently cure the relationships between people. He would like to see soon all cars running on LPG or with Electro motors and no shopping plastic bags. His mantra is awakening of public concern about the environment. He finds Challenge Europe a significant opportunity to join a community of people who are able to do this.

 

 

 
 
 
Project Better Place developed from the realisation that vehicle emissions accounted for a growing portion of the world’s carbon footprint and the changing climate and diminishing supplies of fossil fuels required a major shift to low emission vehicles.
