Recycling urge for football fans prior to Romania-Cyprus game
Newspiece:
Football enthusiasts heading to the Romania-Cyprus clash on June 10 in Bucharest are being urged to bring their outdated digital gizmos for a wild side of eco-consciousness!
Join in the recycling craze and drop off your old cellphones, chargers, headphones, and other miniature electrical trash at the designated collection spots near the stadium entrances.
For your tangible effort, you'll receive a ticket to the UEFA EURO U19 final tourney and stand a chance to win fabulous prizes! Prizes include a tablet, a couple of swanky smartphones, a trio of headphones, and three snazzy Romania national team jerseys. Winners will be gleefully announced during half-time on the jumbo screen in the stadium.
spearheaded by the Environ Association and the Romanian Football Federation, in collaboration with the National Arena, this environment-friendly drive is part of the "Common Sense for Mother Nature: Grassroots Movement" campaign.
Founded in 2007, the Environ Association manages waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) collection and recycling across Romania. They've operationalized over 4,000 collection points, and have gathered a whopping 250,000 tons of electronic waste in the past 18 years.

This campaign is spearheaded by the Environ Association in partnership with the Romanian Football Federation and the National Arena. The main objective of this initiative is to foster recycling habits among Romanian football fans before the match between Romania and Cyprus, contributing to environmental awareness and promoting sustainable practices[1].
