Earth Day 2023

For the past 50 years, Earth Day has been celebrated by billions of people around the globe, annually every April 22, to join together in promoting awareness for the health of our environment and sustainable development. This year, World Earth Day is being held under the slogan "Invest in our planet".

On this day, we come together to show our support for the planet and make pledges to do our part in protecting it. All of us can contribute to the environment by planting trees, cleaning up waste, and reducing our dependence on non-renewable resources like fossil fuels.

Circular Shield Slovenia team spent the Earth day in Novo mesto, together with children from elementary schools and kindergartens from the Municipality of Novo mesto and surrounding municipalities. With the aim of emphasizing the importance of separate collection and reuse of waste materials, together with Komunala Novo mesto, the Knof institute and other local promoters of sustainability, we prepared presentations of products made from recycled materials. At our stand, we demonstrated the pulper show - the presentation of recycling UBC in a paper production.
