We all want to be greener and are contributing more than ever: we trudge through snow to the cardboard bin, sip from straws that start to degrade halfway through our drink, and buy cars that purr instead of roar, and maybe sip a little fossil fuel instead of guzzling it.

On the 26th of April EBS hosted its highly anticipated annual event, The Golden Haba Gala. Thanks to Ester Nugis, who was the main organizer, we got to experience an unforgettable night.
