Astrid joined Challenge Europe because she wanted to meet people who, like her, think that there has been enough talking and now it is time for action! She believes that the greatest crime we can do is to prevent the next generation from enjoying the environment as freely as we enjoy it now. Astrid is interested in alternative sources of energy, sustainable development, environmental valuation and economic growth that does not damage the environment. She holds a bachelor’s degree in business management, as well as a master’s degree in International Marketing and is currently studying for a master’s in environmental economics.
