Try out for other
European actions?
Groen!Plus organized final meeting between polar bear and penguins.
Members of Groen!Plus
(such as Ecolo+ participating in ENGS, the European
Network of Green Seniors) found each other in
The scenery showed a polar bear and two penguins, sticking together in a
poor rest of ice, kept together by sandbags. Place of the action: Korenmarkt (Grainmarket),
downtown
Campaigners of Groen!Plus in green and black
T-shirts spread flyers, while ENGS-chairman Tony Cooreman
invited people to have a picture made with one of the four “living” polar bears
that also made part of the scenery. The whole action created a lot of goodwill
for Groen! that will do its
utmost to enter again in Belgian Federal Parliament at 10th of June
elections.
Better than words, pictures can show the extend
of the action and what is necessary to set up a similar one.
It is our aim to organize a second, Belgian action, together with Ecolo+, later on this year. Meantime Groen!Plus hopes that their “try out” will inspire other
European green seniors to organize climate actions in their own country. In
this way ENGS can show its concern for the future of the planet and our (grand)children.
