What do children think about garbage, plastic and the planet?

We believe that the way to saving our planet is by re-educating ourselves and raising our children to care for the environment. Only by being informed, can children become more sensitive to the issues affecting the environment and humankind.

Our Waste Management Department talked with children of different ages about pollution, garbage, water and other eco topics. See what they had to say in a new video series by Moldova #FărăDeșeuri here
