Summer’s here, so travel green for Green Europe on the ground

Going on holiday in this economic climate is impossible for many. But as good old Bertie Einstein said, ‘In a crisis, imagination is more important than knowledge’. cafebabel.com wraps up its second citizen media project of the year, ‘Green Europe on the ground’. The pick of articles from the year encourage you to get on your imaginary bikes through an Italian capital during the day. For the night, you’ll don your telescopes to contemplate the real deal beyond the lights of a Slovenian capital before dancing it all off in a ‘green disco’ in a German capital. We’ll take a serious stop in a Hungarian country to see how the effects of a natural disaster can mobilise people, before taking an organic break in a southern Spanish regional capital. We’ll also have that chat with young Parisians on how they feel about the new political green climate, because environment is essentially inseparable from European politics.
