Ostashkov - is a beautiful town in Russia, but absence of recycling leads to eco catastrophe. Local recycling pioneer company Ostashkov's Department of Housing asked to popularise the concept of waste sorting and recycling among citizens and to convey a simple truth to the authorities no recycling=tons of trash.

Campaign Success

We decided to attract attention to the issue by launching a campaign aimed to get the UN Messenger on Climate change Leonardo DiCaprio inspire people of Ostashkov.
