Volunteering it seems is spreading like wildfire across Zakynthos.
Zakynthians are starting to become aware just how important it is.
PROBLEMS.
The problem connected to trash dumped on the streets or in the nature is not just an esthetical one. As trash begins to decompose, harmful chemicals and toxins begin to leak out. First, into the soil, then it spreads into the water and air – the very things we all depend on for a healthy life. Dirty drinking water, spreading diseases, red-flag air pollution days… these are all related in some ways to the waste we produce. Waste is a worldwide problem. There are countless stories of the negative impacts of trash around the world. In short, we should ALL care about trash because… we simply just can’t afford not to.
ACTION AND NOW!
Volunteer teams have even joined forces around Zakynthos to make people aware of just how important our environment is…. Zakynthos has gifted us with her natural beauty and thousands of tourists each year have come in awe to marvel her. It’s up to us to keep it that way!
Zakynthos is our home and we should have nothing but the best for our home, a home that will be passed down from generations to generations. A home that one should be proud of.
