Espoo

"For a green transition in swedish in Espoo. More efficient and attractive public transport for everyone. Road tolls where the collective traffic had served you for the same purpose within a reasonable time. Even higher carbon dioxide emissions due to longer transportaiton of products to Finland, shops, homes should show in the final price of the purchased product. I see it important to preserve our forests, support our agriculture for us to be more self-sufficient and I do appreciate locally grown products. "The municipality is to promote its residents wellbeing and the viability of the local area and provide services for its residents in an economically, social and environmentally sustainable way.""

I have an MBA and I work with accounting services and reporting on a daily basis. In my free time I am an active member in several organisations. In two of them I have served as the president of the board for some years. Now I am the treasurer and board member. Apart from administrative tasks and positions of responsibility in my free time I like to go for a run, bike, hike, swim, visit museums, read books, see movies, meet up with family and friends. Live in Kauklahti, married and we have a dog. Green values have always been close to my heart.

If you could give a superpower to your future political leader, what would it be?

The ability to instantly purify the environment and stop climate change.
Invisibility to reveal and combat corruption at all levels.
Time travel to correct historical mistakes and improve the future.
Infinite wisdom to make perfect decisions on all political matters.

Stopping the climate change can be quite the challenge based on today\'s research. Instead I believe in slowing the climate change down by the daily choices we make.
