Earth Day is approaching, it is celebrated on April 22, and we invite you to join us to mark this day under the slogan “Save the planet”.
The action starts on April 19 and will last throughout the week. It is organized by NGO CBM, with partners from Youth Initiative for Human Rights Kosovo and New Social Initiative, as part of Reconciliation and Transformation of Conflict activity supported by the American people through USAID in Kosovo.
As part of the action, between April 19th and 22nd, 12 trees will be donated to 7 municipalities in the region of Mitrovica – a modest contribution a symbolic reflection of the importance of environmental issues. The trees will be planted by an informal group of citizens from 7 municipalities of the region of Mitrovica. The locations where the trees will be planted were determined in cooperation with the local authorities and the planting schedule is as follows:
April 19 – planting in Leposavić and Zvečan
April 20 – planting in Zubin Potok,
April 21 – planting in Vushtrri and Skenderaj
