“Eu am apreciat investiția de timp, pregătirea prealabilă, faptul că am fost felicitați pentru mica noastră inițiativă și consider că informațiile prezentate sunt de bază, ceva ce trebuie să știe fiecare om. Este planeta tuturor, nu doar a celor care aleg să recicleze”, ne-a spus Raluca, elevă în clasa a X-a la Liceul „Simion Stolnicu” din Comarnic
