The aim of the Association is to preserve the integrity of all ecosystems contained in the biosphere, given the long-term perpetuation of its balance, with an emphasis on remedying the anthropogenic impact and educating people to help reduce the effects of climate change and the formation of a sustainable society.

Cristian juggles with a simple concept of circular economy and the integration of a humanitarian side. The community offers donations in products, vulnerable groups with people from the community are involved in educational activities, artistic creation with a focus on the education of vulnerable children.

I personally started to deliver food, clothes, blankets and other products every night in Bucharest and the surrounding areas. Although the concept reaches all 17 SDGs, through a very simple and efficient mechanism, tested by us in the last 6 months, we will focus on reducing pollution and increase the quality of life of poor people.

We believe that cardboard products are a viable alternative to replacing wood or chipboard products.
The pieces of furniture are modular, easy to assemble, can be stored to save space and can be rebuilt many times after use.
