World Cleanup Day Armenia 2018
Climate Uturn volunteers initiated World Cleanup Day Armenia on the 15th of September, 2018. World Cleanup Day Armenia gathered more than 10.000 volunteers in all region of Armenia. During Cleanup volunteers were introduced the basics of plastic recycling. Based on World Cleanup Day experience and results IDeA Foundation initiated the creation of Ecological platform, which was named Climate Uturn. For fulfilling the expected, preliminary set and at the same time very ambition goals of World Cleanup Day Armenia, the structure of regional leaders and local leaders were used. Majority of local leaders continue their cooperation with Climate Uturn platform after the Cleanup and voluntarily participated in new activities.

Behavioral change
Climate Uturn team strongly believes that this planet needs first of all behavioral change. What we eat, what we use and what we buy is directly connected with climate change. As humans are the root cause for the climate change, human’s behavior change can also be a real factor to mitigate climate change and save the planet
