We aim at inspiring people to become the ambassadors to promote and support positive actions in our society and support our Mother Earth. The project influences public opinion and attitude of humans to further support individuals and organizations in fighting against man-made global climate change.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In September 2019 we launched our new social campaign \u201cHumans of Nature\u201d – emotional and real set of videos and stories about people that have positive impact on our environment. The project influences public opinion and attitude of humans to further support individuals and organizations (both state and private) in fighting against man-made global climate changes.\u00a0<\/p>

The goal of the project is to create a catalog (photos, videos and stories) of people living and working in Armenia that support and protect our environment, climate and natural resources by small or big actions they implement in their everyday life. The videos and texts include quotes and short stories from their lives. We hope to have a positive change in people\u2019s mindset and mentality, which will lead us towards green, clean and sustainable future.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Lucine Tonoyan is the creator of the  “5 minute waste break” initiative in Yerevan. The idea behind this initiative is to free the city from the piles of waste and insinuate responsibility towards waste disposal into the culture.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As the ”Humans of Nature” program is going on we are discovering those heroes who protect our environment and help to keep it clean. To make their voices heard more often, we are collecting and presenting their green stories. Maybe one of them will inspire you!
So, our first hero is Lucine Tonoyan who is presenting her \u201c#5minute #wastebreak\u201d initiative and \u201cEcomotive\u201d startup.
Lucine started her first initiative when once she was outside for her break and she saw the plastic and cigarette butts on the street. Since then our hero decided that she wasn\u2019t going to wait for the perfect scavenging system, but she will start changing things on her own.
\u201cI decided to regularly collect trash during my lunch break. If I don\u2019t like this, I\u2019m just going to clean the city from trash myself\u201d, notes Lucine.
The first day Lucine did the cleaning on her own but on the second some of her colleagues have also joined the project. Daily they spend 5 minutes from their lunch break to clean the nature. For Lucine it is important not to generate new litter and for that reason the girls use gloves for multiple usage and bags.
Lucine mentions that during every waste break they manage to collect more than 10 plastic bottles, single-use water and coffee cups, more than 100 cigarette butts and plastic bags. Our first ”Human of Nature” has started her initiative since the beginning of July and tells that even when she was away for her vacation, she still kept cleaning surroundings from waste for 5-10 minutes per day.
The number of Lucine\u2019s \u201cfairies\u201d gets bigger and bigger day by day. Lately the participants have also decided to collect only the waste that can be recycled. On her Facebook page Lucine also tells us about the difficulties and barriers that \u201cendlessly energetic, crazy\u201d environmentalists have to deal with by sharing the obstacles related to the eco-friendly lifestyle in Armenia and not being understood by other people as an environmentalist.
But Lucine doesn’t stop here: she has another startup besides the \u201c#5minute #wastebreak\u201d initiative.
As an active environmentalist and an urban gardener she emphasizes the importance of having more green areas in our environment, especially in urban areas. And for that reason she has also started the \u201cEcomotive\u201d urban gardening startup. Urban gardening is the process of growing various types of plants in the city – both in rooms and outside areas. The main goal of \u201cEcomotive\u201d is to develop the culture of urban gardening in Armenia by supporting people to find their connection with nature and to have their own green and cozy corner.
Lucine notes that this initiative has started due to her personal needs, the lack of green, and, air pollution in Yerevan. Besides she also very much loves growing and taking care of plants which was also one of her \u201cecomotives\u201d.
\u201cThat\u2019s how \u201cEcomotive\u201d was created for us and for those who have \u201cecomotivation\u201d, love growing plants and want to turn their urban apartments, balconies, offices and their environment into a JUNGLE.\u201d Lucine proudly mentions.
The services offered within the initiative are:<\/p>
