Ambassadors

No one can solve environmental issues on their own and we all have to think about what kind of living environment we are leaving for the next generations. In our year of being the European Green Capital, we want to work together with the citizens of Tallinn as well as local businesses and organisations to make our city more sustainable, adaptable, smarter and more inclusive.

Come and help us create a greener city – become a green ambassador of the green capital!

As a green influencer, you will be able to find a larger audience for environmental topics important to you and to help us encourage our citizens to adopt more environmentally friendly habits. Let us know of your interest by e-mailing info@greentallinn.eu with a short description of your environmental activities and vision – what is your future Tallinn like?

Come join us in creating a real green city!

I am not just a landscape architect but also a passionate green ambassador, dreaming and working towards a greener future. My vision extends beyond simply creating urban spaces - I advocate for environmental sustainability, smart solutions, multifunctional designs, and inclusivity.

Today, urban gardening, or growing food in the urban environment, is an increasingly more common part of our urban culture and image. Community and learning gardens can be found in every district of Tallinn. More than a hundred gardens in total, where carrots and dill, as well as green thinking and a sense of community, are grown and taken care of together.

Maria Derlõš, urban gardening specialist

I dream of a world that integrates and uses bio-waste to grow local and healthy food. I dream of a new food system based on a circular economy and community, where compost made from bio-waste is an integral part of growing chemical-free food - a biocirculation model where the problem of one system becomes the solution of another.

Markko Mäll, founder of NutriLoop, waste consultant

To quote another, if you can’t measure it you can’t change it. To that end at LDI we deploying our oil leak detectors with partners around the world to find pollution, change behaviours and protect our environment.

David Clark – Chairman of Laser Diagnostic Instruments (LDI) & Venture Partner at Tera Ventures

As a biologist, I am inspired by the wisdom of nature, and in my work, the question "How would nature solve this?" is always my starting point. I am ready to share my knowledge and skills and support other entrepreneurs in their transition to more environmentally friendly practices. My passion for innovation, entrepreneurship, and promoting environmental sustainability are values to which I am dedicated, and through which I wish to create a positive impact in my hometown.

Ragmar Saksing – ENTREPRENEUR AND TEHNOPOL GREENTECH SECTOR LEADER

I was an enthusiastic garbage sorter for years until I realized that the only solution to the garbage problem is not to create it. Fortunately, there is nothing complicated here if we are ready to change our consumption habits. Reuse is normal!

Katarina Papp – the author and promoter of the idea RingKarp

I am inspired by the opportunity to change the world and find solutions to problems that affect many. Reducing food waste is one of the biggest challenges facing the world, solving it will also help reduce the environmental footprint.

Tarmo Seliste – founder of Fudloop

I wish to contribute to the preservation of a sustainable environment through the recycling of waste. My creative and scientific studies are combined in the circular economy company Filaret, whose primary focus is collecting smokestacks and processing them into innovative bioplastics.

Ines-Issa Villido – founder of Filaret OÜ

Every action for the nature-preserving, sustainable world and a better tomorrow starts with me. If our next young generation acquires value attitudes and behaviours as learners from kindergarten onwards to maintain a sustainable world, we have fulfilled our mission as educators.

Viivi Lokk – promoter of nature education

I firmly believe that in collaboration lies the power and the core of lasting change. The mission of our World Cleanup Day is to create environmentally conscious behavioral change in society. We have created the world's largest environmental network in 164 countries, with whom we implement changes in society.

Heidi Solba, leader of the World Cleanup Day

We launched FinEst, a smart city center of excellence, with the aim of making cities a better living environment through scientific development.

Ralf-Martin Soe, Smart City scientist

We work to create a better environment and a more sustainable economy with the help of green technology. Startups have the ability to implement changes quickly, and that is why we invest our time in people who have a vision and will to do things.
