What are Mobile Green Points:
the self-propelled or trailer, which has separate collection means, such as bins or containers for each individual material collected.
• Educational Vans, which are of low storage capacity, with a short body length and demonstration equipment in order to have an educational character, e.g. for school visits.
In October, 2020 this Mobile Green Spot Recycling Company was invited by the Municipality of Delphi/Amfissa to organize a recycling activity in our school.Our pupils cleaned the garden, picked litter, and played the recycling game " WHAT GOES WHERE".

GREECE-CLEANING ACTIVITY ON THE BEACHES OF OUR AREA.

Plastics dominate the marine scraps of the Corinthian Gulf, as evidenced by the first counting cycle. The cleaning activities at the 6 selected points - observatories (Nafpaktos, Itea, Alyki Viotia, Corinth, Akrata and Psathopyrgos Achaia) took place with the valuable help of school students and volunteers from the local communities. The first clean-up cycle report for the entire coastline is 14,841 collected objects larger than 2.5 centimeters. At all observation points the count was carried out at 100 meters of beach. The measured items per measurement point are analyzed as follows:

Poundos beach -Naipaktos, set of objects 5.611, Nafsika- Itea 1.733, Aliki-Viotia, 2.960, Kalamia-Corinth 1.115, Akrata-Achaia 1.052, Mati-Psathopirgos, Achaia, 2.330.

The results of detailed counting-recording showed that plastic objects were the most populous type of waste with rates ranging from 62-94%. The most common categories of plastic objects were the fragments of plastics and styrofoam that originate mainly from the breakage of larger objects, with the influence of time and solar (ultraviolet) radiation.

Also the burden of disposable plastics such as straws, bags of bags, wrapping and packing, cigarette butts, bottle caps, beakers and bottles of beverages was also significant.

Glasses and ceramics (fabrics, bottles), metal (wires, beverage cans, caps) and fabric (torn pieces) were in turn the next types of object materials found in high concentration.

The aim of the project is to clean coasts and to raise awareness of local communities with emphasis on children and to monitor the rate of accumulation of waste between successive cleaning actions in the same part of the beach. In this way, besides the aesthetic rehabilitation of the coasts, we also achieve the quantification of the problem of litter on the shores and the sea of ​​Corinth.

The analytical results of the measurements are compiled into databases hosting waste aggregation data for the global coastline. This data provides useful information for the scientific community that studies issues such as transport and accumulation of waste and its impact on marine and coastal ecosystems. They also form the basis for designing protection and remediation actions, as well as putting pressure on the implementation of policies and legislation to reduce the unexpected use and disposal of plastic products and packaging.

The program has a duration of 14 months, funded by the Green Fund and implemented by OZON in collaboration with the Association for the Protection and Rational Development of the Corinthian Gulf ("SPOAK"), "Arion", the Non Profit Organization GREEN + BLUE, the Association of Free and Autonomous Districts of the Prefecture of Fokida "Krissaios" and the Residential and Cultural Association of Alyki Viotia "Argo".

Information about the program and the upcoming cleaning actions are provided on the site for the Corinthian Gulf.

'ZERO WASTE' Supermarket in Barcelona

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
"The future is this way&rdquor;, se lee en la entrada. " El futuro es por aquí&rdquor;. Así que sigues la flecha sin vacilar, como si fuera a llevarte al DeLorean de Regreso al futuro. Terminas en un súper. "Fuck plastic&rdquor;, grita desde la pared un cartel. "Que le den al plástico&rdquor;. Y lo cumple a rajatabla: no se ve nada plastificado hasta donde alcanza la vista. Cinco minutos aquí y te entran ganas de reciclar incluso a Belén Esteban.

Es un súper, sí, aunque parezca sacado de un catálogo nórdico. Hay cajas para autoservirse a granel legumbres, cacao, algas, quinoa, cereales. Grifos de los que sale vino, vermut, aceite, miel, productos de limpieza sostenible. Cepillos de dientes de bambú, estropajos vegetales, tuppers de acero inoxidable. Ya ha volado la pasta de dientes: viene en tarro de cristal, con espátula de bambú. Aquí todo es biodegradable, reutilizable o reciclable.

Recuperar el romanticismo al hacer la compra

Yes Future (Viladomat, 66). "Sí que hay un futuro&rdquor;, justifica el nombre Olga, una de los propietarios. Este es posiblemente el primer supermercado libre de plásticos de España. "Que yo sea consciente -apunta- no existe ningún otro&rdquor;. Un súper que sigue la filosofía Zero Waste (Residuo Cero). "Es un movimiento global -añade Olga- que fomenta reducir la cantidad de residuos que genera una persona&rdquor;.

Olga Rodríguez, 35 años, desprende familiaridad exprés de barri. Mira a todos los clientes a los ojos, pregunta "¿qué tal?&rdquor; antes de darte el tíquet. Dice que hay que recuperar el romanticismo al hacer la compra. En lo que tarda en cobrarte, te despierta tanta conciencia ecológica como Leonardo DiCaprio. Nadie diría que viene del mundo de la moda, como su socio, Alejandro Martínez, 37. ¿Qué pasó? "Había una inquietud personal&rdquor;, recuerda ella. Los dos socios compartían piso y un día se dieron cuenta de la cantidad de envases de plástico que tiraban. Y empezaron a comprar a granel. "No es algo nuevo, se ha hecho toda la vida&rdquor;, apunta Olga. Pero ellos dieron un par de ecopasos más. "¿Y si concentramos todo en un mismo espacio?&rdquor;, pensaron. "Una tienda donde puedas comprar lo básico pero sin plástico&rdquor;. Y todo libre de pesticidas y químicos. "No entendemos por qué hay tanto producto ecológico envasado en plástico, con el daño que hace al medio ambiente. Es incoherente&rdquor;.

Inauguraron hace seis meses. Ahora es raro ver vacío este búnker sin residuos. ¿La gente está concienzada? "Más de lo que pensábamos&rdquor;, asiente Olga. "Viene mucho público joven -detalla-, locales y gente europea que vive en Barcelona&rdquor;.

Pajitas de acero inoxidable

"¡Qué chulas!&rdquor;. Una clienta se queda mirando las pajitas de acero inoxidable. También hay un cepillo extrafino para limpiarlas por dentro. Los añade a la cesta. "Las utilizo de papel y se acaban desintegrando&rdquor;, se justifica. Saca la tarjeta de crédito con apuro. "Te tengo que pagar en plástico -se ríe-. Me siento mal&rdquor;.

Te entra de golpe mala conciencia al pensar en todos los plásticos que acumulas en casa. "El problema es que vamos por la vida sin pensar&rdquor;, dice Olga. "Es cambiar el chip&rdquor;, asiente otra clienta. "El otro día guardé el cartón de los huevos&rdquor;, comparte con orgullo. Pagar aquí suele desembocar en una charla sostenible.

"¿Van a tener desodorante?&rdquor;, pregunta el siguiente cliente. "Sí, estamos introduciendo toda la parte de higiene personal&rdquor;, le responde Olga. Eso incluirá desodorantes, jabones, champús sólidos. "Queremos que se pueda hacer una cesta más o menos completa -añade-. Nos falta el producto fresco&rdquor;. También está en proyecto. "Fruta, verdura, productos de nevera. Todo 100% ecológico y en el formato más sostenible posible&rdquor;.

"¿Quieres una bolsa?&rdquor;. En este súper no te cuestan ni cinco céntimos ni una colleja a tu econciencia. Son de papel. "Casi todo el mundo ya viene con su bolsa de tela&rdquor;, asegura Olga. Aquí se fomenta que los clientes traigan sus envases. Y si no, dan alternativas sostenibles: bolsas de papel, botellas de cristal y "como último recurso&rdquor; -recalca Olga-, recipientes de HDPE. "Es la alternativa que damos para la gente que viene sin envase para los detergentes. Es la más sostenible dentro del mundo de los plásticos. No desprende toxinas, se reutiliza y cuando lo quieras tirar, se recicla al completo&rdquor;.

Te vas con sensación de revolución. Desde la caja se puede leer en la pared un (Re)Manifiesto. "Si añades re-, muchas palabras recuperan su sentido&rdquor;, asegura Olga.

Rellena. Reduce. Reutiliza. Recicla. Reconecta, reinventa, recupera, redefine, reacciona, resiste.

Y repite.

Why Is Sweden Buying Trash From Other Countries?

Even after having to pay out tens of millions of euros every six months worth of EU fines back in 2014, Greece still can't seem to get it together when it comes to recycling.

Last September Greece was once again caught not abiding by international law and was ordered by the European Court to pay 10 million euros in addition to another 30,000 euros per day until illegal landfills were eliminated and for not following rules on disposing of garbage - something the cash-strapped country cannot afford to pay. The European Court said in its ruling that Greece's failure to meet its obligations was "particularly serious in so far as it is liable to directly endanger human health and to harm the environment."

According to a 2010 report, as much as 80% of waste ends up at Greek landfill sites and that doesn't seem to have changed as the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has scolded Greece on several occasions saying that the government had not complied with several deadlines to improve.

Over two decades of trying to regulate recycling of waste products in Greece, the government has done little to help the country reach the 2020 environmental goals of the EU. In contrast to other EU countries, 2017 figures show that only 16 percent of Greek household waste is recycled across the country, whereas the European recycling average is 28 percent, with Slovenia leading the way at 49 percent and Latvia bringing in the worst shape at only 3 percent.

The problem is highlighted when you consider that only some 3 percent of eligible waste is recycled according to local authorities figures - which means that of the nearly 11 million inhabitants of Greece, only 4 million eligible waste is recycled.

The biggest problems that impacts the environment are ones that you can see as you drive throughout the countryside or remote villages and islands where people dump their garage on the side of the road. Many parts of Greece still rely on "makeshift" hillside garbage dumps - one of which actually collapsed in 2011 on the island of Andros, causing a landslide of garbage burying a beach below.

Despite paying out tens of millions of euros worth of fines for the illegal dumps, the Greek government continues to leave recycling to the people on a "voluntary basis," meaning that households sort through their own eligible waste and determine what and how to dispose of it with no fines enforced for illegal dumping. Also, the municipal waste collection charge to residents is determined on property size, not how much garbage you throw away, encouraging people to not take the time to recycle and simply throw away everything in plastic bags that they get for free at the supermarkets. According to reports by the Greek newspaper Ethos in October of 2016, the government was to impose a small charge of 5-10 cents per plastic bags at supermarkets although until today there has been no such law passed.
