It is up to you to decide in which way you want to get involved. If you have a brilliant idea but no money for your action, it might be worthwhile to get in touch with the A SEED Europe Office. The transport sector is a major threat to the environment. It is causing irreversible disasters all over Europe. The Somport tunnel and the accompanying road scheme through the Vallee d'Aspe in the French Pyrenees is probably the most wellknown Trans-European Road Network project, but this is only one of more than 140 new motorways in TENs.
TENs are also a financial disaster.
The EU claims that investing billions of tax payers' ECUs in transport infrastructure is a good way of creating jobs. However, it has failed to produce convincing studies to support this assumption. In fact, there is extensive literature indicating that the effects might be the opposite. In numerous cases new infrastructure for highspeed transport has lead to centralised production damaging local markets and causing the loss of local jobs.
