Save Your Hood

Save Your Hood empowers initiatives and gives citizens the means to act by providing common ground where everyone can express their ideas and concerns and empower each other towards healthier neighborhoods. Save Your Hood started as an initiative to raise awareness on the waste problem among the growing public, uniting active citizens and other voluntary groups throughout Greece, in order to change our mentality. Waste of all kinds - objects, toys, plastics, thousands of straws have been found to this day, while the movement is still in its infancy. The need for all of us to have cleaner, more aesthetically pleasing, healthier places to live in, unites us so that together we can act immediately and see our neighborhoods change for the better. The Save Your Hood movement came as a thought during the first lockdown (spring 2020), and then came into being during the second (autumn 2020). Since then, it has been growing exponentially throughout Greece and has quickly expanded to neighboring countries. Now, people not only in Greece, but also in Cyprus, Turkey, Romania and elsewhere, are acting in their neighborhoods, giving a positive message to our fellow citizens and bringing about a much-needed change! Our need to change the way we interact with waste of all kinds has found fertile ground and has changed our environment and communities forever!
