Made in Cyprus | S3 E11 | Island Keeper on Cleaning Up Cyprus.

Yeah.

And then I said, okay, look, I wasn't really...

The first time as I organized the keynote, I wasn't thinking about that we need trash bags and all this stuff, you know? Yeah.

Or that we need grabber sticks.

So...

I said, okay, we could clean together on Saturday, something like this.

And the people brought trash bags because I forgot them, but I brought the grabber sticks and I was so happy that I gift everyone a grabber stick and this stuff.

Yeah, it's really, now it's very crazy to speak about it.

Yeah, and funny enough, for two weeks ago, we had a cleanup over 120 volunteers, you know.

so

that very first clean up were just people that saw your video and reached out to you and said we want to help you and you just did a gather up together

yes five different nationalities five different nationalities and I felt like wow, you bring people together for a good cause and with completely different cultures.

And this was like, we had Cypriot, Sweden, Syria, German, and Russia.

And I was like, okay, how cool is that?

So people wanted someone to be the center part and just gathering people together to try to solve this issue, yeah?

I don't know.

A lot of people telling me that that more or less you need a leader for this.

I'm not seeing myself as the leading part, but at least you need someone.

Someone has

to do to

make first step.

I think you act a bit like a glue.

So it is a problem that everyone sees because unfortunately Cyprus, it is full of trash.

It's a beautiful place, but it's full of trash.

There is a huge problem on the culture side And education about trash as well.
