Environmental awareness and the desire to improve the global environmental situation are very important, because we do not just contribute to the nature, we also help ourselves. Trees clean the air, mitigate the climate change, and promote biodiversity. Every tree is a contribution to the future of our next generations and our planet. We are sincerely glad to join the project “Greening the planet”. We have to be aware of the ecological future,”said Alina Belikova, Third Secretary of Ukrainian Embassy in the Republic of Bulgaria and a co-organizer of the project in Bulgaria.
