Combine rubbish collecting in Latvian forests / seaside with outdoor activities for all participants. The idea is that teams spend half a day hunting litter, and the other half visiting technological landfill “Getlini EKO”, where they can learn how to recycle and see recycling possibilties and what difference it makes.
Litter picking is 3-4 hour activity, including coffee break outdoors. Then after beautiful lunch group travels to “Getliņi EKO” landfill.
