          This initiative has already been joined by the staff of the UGCC Patriachal Commission for Youth Affairs.

          According to Dana Kushpler, the leader of the “Someone Will Not Do It” youth social initiative, she goes for shopping with a cloth eco-bag. During 2 days after she has joined the event, 3 polyethylene packs and 2 plastic bottles has been saved. What if this amount is multiplied on all the population of your city?

          Marta Zozulia, the editor of the web-site of the DyvenSvit youth Christian portal, calls for buying summer berries in the plastic jars of multiple usage doing that herself by taking the last ones from home in advance while rhubarb, for example, can be bought non-packed at all. All this can be put into the rucksack, where all the goods can be carried in much easier way.
