Let’s become the start for a better coastal environment
The story of project PARALIES began back in 2019 while searching and discussing the possibility of organizing an initiative to combat marine pollution in our country and not waste time in another effort that in the end would not have any substantial result.
Going deeper into the discussions and design of the project, we came to the conclusion that our idea can grow even more, compared to our initial thoughts, by inviting companies that have environmental consciousness and social contribution in a very high position within their corporate design and their values based on which they operate and exist in the Greek market.
Let’s start the action from the coasts
Project PARALIES is implemented through beach adoption, for the entire summer season, as well as through coastal clean-ups by companies that have increased environmental consciousness and want to make an active social impact.
The goal of the PARALIES project
Reducing the impact
Reducing the impact on the coastal and marine environment through the adoption and continuous beach clean-ups throughout the summer season.
Increasing recycling
Increasing recycling through separate collection of waste produced on the beaches.
Raising public awareness
Raising public awareness of the necessity and way of maintaining clean beaches.
