Organization Description:
The Greek Eco Project is an environmental organization founded in 2020 by a group of sensitized people of different backgrounds with a common denominator of love and respect for the natural environment. Based in Thessaloniki. Through our continuous environmental actions, we try to protect the environment. Because we feel the deep responsibility that falls upon us and because we believe that what you love you must protect and keep it safe individually and collectively, as our every little act is a big breath for the earth.
