An evening to remember
Due to 2Gplus regulation, the event took place in a very small circle, which was in no way a disadvantage from our point of view.
We enjoyed an evening in a warm atmosphere, had inspiring and entertaining conversations with people sincerely interested in and committed to climate and environmental protection, and took part in an award ceremony in which both the jury members and the winners shone in the spotlight.
