When Daniela and Luke De Bono decided to participate in the European Week for Waste Reduction, they never imagined that within a few months, they would be representing our country as European finalists in the Citizens category in Marseille! 

Their action, primarily focused on reducing packaging waste during Christmas, involved creating reusable decorative bags for gift wrapping. Moreover, this action had an altruistic aim, as it not only reduced wrapping paper waste but also raised funds for children in need. 

This experience is one that Daniela and Luke will surely never forget—not only because of the positive impact of their initiative but also due to the quality time they spent together. 

Thank you, Daniela and Luke, for your participation. We encourage you to continue sharing your creations and ideas through social media to raise further awareness and knowledge!
