Students will cycle to … Glasgow
Since Saturday, Youth4planet has parked its imposing bike in the corridor of Luxexpo The Box. The non-profit organization is one of the players who present their green initiatives until Monday at the KlimaExposalon, the first national exhibition dedicated to solutions to the climate cause, organized by the Ministry of the Environment. “A team, in particular students from the Technical Lycée d’Ettelbruck, will leave with the bike this Tuesday, from Luxembourg to Glasgow at the COP26”, details André Oldenburg, of Youth4planet.
The bike is equipped with a screen showing films on the climate, made by schoolchildren and young people who can still send content. “We will film on the road the public wanting to share their ideas with decision-makers.” Private companies, like Greenworlder, presented their innovations. The Luxembourg-based start-up has launched its own social network.
“An application geared towards sustainability”
“We started from the principle that people spent time online and that the planet was threatened by global warming to create an application aimed at sustainability,” explains Xavier Roth le Gentil, founder of Greenworlder. On this network too, we can collect friends and post, but “we don’t sell our users’ data.
They can choose their ads which always come from green actors and we filter fake news. The goal is that the NGO, universities, green companies can share their content with other users ”.
