Mrs. Yanna Pavlopoulou (COMMONLAWGIC),as founding Supporter and Steering Team member of “Let’s do it Greece”, explained-at a joint press Conference with the Mayor of Piraeus, Mr. Yannis Moralis-(photo no 1) the aims of their action: “Let’s do it” internationally branded, voluntary campaign takes place for the fourth time in Greece in multiple places but on the same day. Our “zero-budget” campaign managed to inspire “self-organized” volunteer cleanups throughout Greece, as an alternative way of action against existing environmental problems. As many as 1970volunteer civil society and public organizations joined to support our initiative. We expect to motivate and “seed” our message to 38.000 volunteers at 500 cleanups around Greece, through social media networks, our website and “word of mouth” peer influence.”0
