Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on January 11, 1940)

Happy Birthday, Andres Tarand! From steering Estonia through the political waves as Prime Minister in 1994-95 to championing environmental causes long before it was trendy—your legacy is evergreen. Who knew that saving trees and running a country could both be done with such style?

Your dedication as Environment Minister (1992–94) planted seeds of sustainability still blossoming today. May your birthday bring you laughter brighter than Estonian summers—and fewer headaches than parliamentary debates! Here's hoping this year brings more joy, less paperwork, and plenty of reasons to celebrate how you've made politics greener…and funnier too. Cheers to many timeless adventures ahead!
