I am so happy to share that I’ve completed the “How to Build a Zero Waste City” training and earned my diploma from the Zero Waste Academy Europe! https://zerowasteeurope.eu/about/about-zero-waste/
This opportunity was offered to me by Ms. Solène Fargeix, Business Development Manager of the Mission Zero Academy (MiZA), to whom I deeply grateful for choosing me to become accredited and eligible to prepare municipalities in following the Zero Waste procedures.
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.
