Comenius 2011-2013

The journey for the search of the Greener European Town started 2

years ago with intermediary stops …

Alexandroupoli

Nantes

A journey full of discovery, cooperation, emotion and knowledge.

Trostberg

Cuenca

Cluj-Napoca

Being excited by this wonderful journey and having adopted the

conclusions that the pupils and the teachers reached during our meetings, we started the construction of our G.E.T.

Our G.E.T. is adapted to its natural environment and shows respect for it.

The “Dadia forest”

And the “Delta of the river Evros”

The energy that is consumed comes from the renewable resources

of our region.

Sun

Geothermal field

Biological cultivation

Wind

Authorized landfill site

Our Town is built amphitheatrically.

We combined the suggestion for the circular shape with the sea orientation and the result is the semicircular shape.

The height of the buildings is low along the coast and

increases as we move mainland.

The public buildings are placed in the center of the city for easy access.

Green roofs insulate and decorate the buildings.

There is a lot of green in our G.E.T.

A waterfront park with a unique character.

A metropolitan park with areas for culture,

sports and recreational activities.

Small parks and open spaces all over the city.

Green suburban.

Biological cleaning of the waste water.

This way we avoid the water pollution as well as the water waste,

since the cleaned water can be used for irrigation.

A highway around the city which is connected with the airport, the railway station and the port.

A G.E.T. requires active, responsible citizens with knowledge and ecological conscience.

So, schools and a Center for Environmental Education teach the citizens, who…

… recycle,

Recycle bins

Waste recycling and composting factory

… eat healthy food,Community farms and botanical gardens

around the town with organic farming and local varieties of plants

Small gardens with vegetables almost everywhere

Shops with local food

and use eco-transportation.

Pedestrian lanes in the center of the cityBicycle lanes

Public transportation means (bus, tram, train)

Thumbs up for ecological way of life

and sustainable development!Thank you!
