Introduction

Hello all!
Welcome to Ecology and Green Urbanism in Belgium. In this blog, I will be discussing the environmental issues facing the modern European society, and how the kingdom of Belgium (and more specifically, Antwerp, Belgium) are dealing with them, to help preserve our environment for future generations. I will also be including comparisons of my home, St. Petersburg/Sarasota, Florida, and how environmental issues have been dealt with there, from my past 20+ years of experience.

It us undeniable, the differences between our two societies are quite vast, but we still share the same Earth, the same air and the same water. No matter where you are in the world, we must come to terms that this is our one shot, our only home, so we must learn to live in harmony with nature, and reverse the many centuries of damage the human race has instilled. Through the use of photographs, interviews, and any supplemental information I can find, I will use these visual elements to enrich my discussions of Green Urbanism in Belgium.
Stay tuned and enjoy!
