Day 7, Flash mob

In the morning we gathered in Doma square, where we danced previously made Flash mob. About 30 people in "Think green, be green!" hoodies, holding two PET bottles in their hands were walking around old Riga. When we started to dance, hitting bottles in the air, seemed that all the other people in Riga disappeared form this square and gave us opportunity to show what are we doing here, that everyone can recycle plastic bottles in very different way. It is an interesting way how to bring awareness to all the people, because it's interesting, fun and creative. There you can see our Flash mob ---->

After the great experience in streets of Riga, we went to house of European Union
to debate about Eco Food. There were two groups, one supporting eco food, and one against it. The main argument of the first team was that “we should know our food”, even if that means sacrificing variety or the comfort we enjoy today. The other group argued that eco food cannot replace the food we eat today, simply because conservatives and modifications are the only way to solve the hunger problem our planet faces today. 
But our day did not end there, we had a great ECO rally in the streets of Riga, we were visiting the most popular and famous buildings, doing some tasks, like hugging trees, picking up the garbage on the streets, giving kisses to cyclists, making the greenest pictures on our way, finding out essential information about Latvian national things and just having a really great time, it followed by a journey to Rigas fascinating nightlife
