The European Union Delegation to Albania launched today the environmental campaign TodayforEnvironment to raise awareness about environmental protection, plastic pollution and to encourage alternatives to single-use plastics. There was no better place than the Museum of Natural Sciences “Sabiha Kasimati” to launch the campaign with the participation of the EU Ambassador Luigi Soreca, Albanian Minister of Tourism and Environment Blendi Klosi, Austrian Ambassador Christian Steiner, German Ambassador Peter Zingraf, Swedish Ambassador Elsa Håstad, EU-funded projects, civil society representatives and volunteers.
“The European Union adopted new rules to ban single-use plastic objects from 2021 and Albanians should benefit from the same level of environmental protection. The EU is working with its Member States to improve the well-being, everyday life and opportunities for Albanians. Because they deserve it and because it brings the country closer to EU standards. I count in particular on the young people of Albania to start giving the example to the rest of the community. Be the change that you want to see, and act for a cleaner and more sustainable Albania. It is your country, it is your Albania,” said EU Ambassador Luigi Soreca.
