Take part on our actions. Make your initiative a reality and let's reshape our neighborhoods together.
The Save Your Hood movement strengthens initiatives and gives citizens the means to act by providing a common ground where everyone can express their ideas and concerns and empower each other for healthier neighborhoods.
It started as an initiative that quickly grew bigger to raise the awareness of the public about the problem of waste, uniting active citizens and other volunteer groups throughout Greece, in order to change our mentality.
Waste of all kinds - plastics, other materials, everyday objects, recyclable, construction waste, marine litter, organic and even hazardous waste have been collected to date.
The need for all of us to have cleaner, more aesthetically beautiful, healthier places to live, unites us so that we can all act together immediately and see our neighborhoods change for the better.
Have you seen a anyone passing by throwing garbage on the streets, woods or beach? How did you react?
That logic of indifference became the reason for Vassilis Sfakianopoulos to start a voluntary initiative along with some of his friends. A friendly call became the source of all of this, and collect 32 garbage bags of 100 lt on Tourkovounia territory.
The idea became a reality and the result was named «Save your hood»
Save your neighborhood, your forest, your beach, save the place that you live in and love. An idea that started on the first lockdown and manifested on the second (15 of November). The need for a change became more than just a walk.
- A group has been created on facebook with a name of “Save your hood” which coordinates and informs all individual and group awareness initiatives throughout Greece.
- Once a week, a poll is held with various places created by the members and administrators of the group, so everyone can register in their own place or place where they live.
- There is no need to gather a specific number of people, even one can be active in his own neighborhood wherever he or she is in Greece.
- All participants must wear a mask and work gloves.
- Each volunteer and each group should strictly adhere to the distances of health safety using a mask.
There is no reason for it not to exist.
- In our Facebook Group make sure you add your neighborhood into the weekly voting with a proposed date and time in order to act!
- With certainty, other volunteers will declare their interest and vote for your choice!
- If not, a coordinator will contact you and help you create a team of your own!
Send us as soon as possible a message and we will communicate with you and inform you about the necessary simple steps.
It is simple, easy as pie and full of positive energy!
