Chatting recently with my dearest friend Maris from Estonia, I discovered a very interesting action that took place last week in this lovely country. So interesting, that in my mind it was translated and accommodated as a "light of hope". BBC has a video reportage about it: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7382489.stm.
It's not only the collection of tones of garbage, which as indisputably a noble act. It's not only the overall coordination which included Google maps, photos uploading, GPS and more, which can not be imitated even from the most sophisticated management systems in large corporations. It's not only that more than 50000 people came together as one, which is a revolution in its own. It's a shift in the minds of the people; a realization of their power and of their responsibility; a deep comprehension that change is possible and an understanding that we, people, are the carriers and purveyors of it!
With the hope that more minds will shift.
A European/World spring cleaning day is what comes to my mind now; may the organizers have the strength, the will and the courage to go about it. I am with them.
Start from your self.

Do you think it would be harder to organize kind of the same thing in yoU? I mean,in Thessaloniki? When i was leonardo in Kids in Action, i made a walk in the mountains behind the city.. the nature is beautyful there and the best view to the sea and surrounding landscape. Only thing, it was swimming in the garbage and has bad reputation to make hiking and walks(because you and Stelios where kind of worried, when you heard of my walks in there). SO..change it...it is just grate to have good, motivative examples to follow:)What you think?
