Interviews (answers of people in the street)
There are never enough bins.
I turn off the lights when I go to sleep.
I take a shower during 10min. instead of a bad.
I drink water from the tap and the bottles.
I recycle and sort every day.
I buy biologic products if they are not too expensive.
I eat vegetables from my garden.

What the member of the European parliament (Bart Staes) thinks about the environment
Too much plastic in the sea
More attention for the environment instead of the industry
Change the attitude of the citizens
Geomobiel
We thought there was just a bit of green area in Brussels, but after research, we realised there is actually a lot of green in Brussels.
We made a map of vegetation to compare with maps of population and wealth.
Geomobiel
After we tried to mark the green areas on a map during our walk in St.-Agatha Berchem, we saw there is a lot of green in the area.
The photos of the satellite confirmed our work.

Vegetation map
The darker, the more vegetation
More vegetation in the outskirts, less in the centre
Geomobiel
Population map
The darker, the more population
More population in the centre, less in the outskirts
Geomobiel
Wealth map

Rich people in the outskirts, less rich people in the centre
Geomobiel: conclusion
In green area live just a few people who are rich.
Some ideas for a greener city
More trees on the squares
Green roofs
More flowers in the street
Subventions for electric/hydrogen cars
Improve public transport facilities
Safer bicycle paths
More bins
Grass instead of stones in the gardens
The end
