We brought together young sustainability leaders, enthusiasts, educators, entrepreneurs and youth workers for a Green Round-table discussion to debate if the environmental protection is "paying off" recently.
"We are the generation that sees climate change and the generation that can still make a difference, our peers are definitely more focused on ecology and sustainability, we know a lot more about recycling than our parents or grandparents, and we have a responsibility to help them learn. We are very familiar with the plastic recycling process, we participated in an Erasmus+ project in Sweden, where we observed up close how plastic has to be recycled in order to be reused" - say the pupils of Šiauliai Romuvos Gymnasium, who took part in the first roundtable discussion of the ECO4ECO project organised by the Social Hub Association and their friends from OPEN - Open Youth Space.
Listening to these young people, we and our partners realised that we are moving in the right direction and that ECO-leaders already live among us.
