People that are trying to make and effort in reducing waste are worth mentioning I think. Tatiana and Pandelis have a small cafe on the waterfront in the summer. You order a beverage and you receive it in a cup or a jar. Their straws are bio degradabale. They try to produce as little waste as possible. Orders are presented on wooden serving boards or on plates. You can also read books there! Have a good summer !

Georgia Patseas and Silje Kramer decided a while ago that the Skopelos health center needed help when they found out that vital equipment for helping patients was missing. They started a fundraiser to get a defibrillator for the Health center but the donations were so many so several things could be done. First they were able to start building work and a bathroom for attending doctors was created.
Also a lot of equipment was bought.
Here is the link on Facebook where Georgia and Silje show all the receipts. A lot of people also worked voluntarily. The girls effort shows if you persist you will find a solution. They found out there was a problem and they made a big effort to do something about it. Many people can learn from their actions!!!
