THE
PURPOSE

Projeto Gea - Σχέδιο Γης is a project for a better planet.

This project was born in Faro on Christmas Day 2019, with the initial purpose of creating a Christmas tradition together that was different and meaningful. But we were fooled! Life knew better.

Since we couldn't do something for the community, we decided to do something for the planet. So we went litter picking in Ria Formosa. We really enjoyed the experience and the feeling. So, the Christmas tradition became a weekly tradition.

We started doing cleanUp campaigns in neighbourhoods, parks, and protected areas every weekend. And just like that, Projeto Gea was created, with a name that is half Portuguese and half Greek.

Little by little, people started to see our campaigns and began to integrate our actions.

In this way, our goal became to make people in the community aware of the existence and quantity of waste in the environment and the problem of waste pollution in general.

Through our campaigns, we also try to demonstrate the importance of active citizenship and the power that small actions can have in the fight against pollution. Thus, we try to encourage people to become active agents of change for a better planet.

Using our social networks, we try to demonstrate more sustainable habits and solutions in our daily lives in order to motivate people to integrate circular economy concepts into their lives, such as reusing, refusing, repairing, or giving new purpose to things they already have.
