As part of our #StoryTellingKimolos -No Plastic program, carried out with the support of the CPF, a bilingual educational guide was created to help students understand what plastic pollution and microplastics are, how they affect the seas and marine life, and how we can all contribute to better practises.
Cyclades Unified, funded by the Cyclades Preservation Fund, implemented a Kimolos initiative to reduce single-use plastics through distributing 5,000 biodegradable wheat straws and delivering hands-on environmental education. Activities included film screenings, awareness outreach, and the “Blue Traces” cyanotype workshop, engaging children and adults in creative reuse and plastic literacy. In partnership with the Municipality of Kimolos and local volunteers, the program built practical skills, promoted sustainable habits, and highlighted the urgent impact of plastic pollution on marine ecosystems worldwide today.
The Cyclades Unified organization, supported by the Cyclades Preservation Fund, launched an initiative on Kimolos to distribute 5,000 wheat straws as an eco-friendly alternative to plastic.
Together with the Kimolos volunteer group Kimolistes AMKE, they offered these natural straws during the screening of the children’s film Delphinomikroulis 1 at the Medieval Castle on September 4, 2025.
The goal was to encourage both children and adults to adopt more sustainable everyday habits.
