Action First
We Lead With Action
We don't wait for change. We show up, clean, and inspire others to do the same.
Environmental Action Cyprus
It started with one bag of trash.
Today it's a growing community cleaning up Cyprus and building real local recycling solutions. Picking up trash is the minimum we can do to protect the nature we love.

- Regular beach and trail cleanups across Limassol and Cyprus
- Open events — everyone is welcome, no registration needed
- Tools and bags provided, just show up ready to help

We Build Community
The Island Keeper brings together people from all backgrounds — locals, expats, students, businesses — around a shared goal: protecting the environment of Cyprus.
- Partnerships with schools for environmental education
- Collaborations with local businesses and municipalities
- Working with NGOs and environmental organizations
- Building a network of regular volunteers across the island
Local Recycling — Items of Cyprus
Items of Cyprus is our small recycling workshop in Limassol. We collect plastics from cleanups and turn them into useful, everyday items. It's a hands-on step toward a circular economy in Cyprus.
- Plastics collected from cleanups are sorted and processed
- Workshop in Limassol using open-source recycling machines
- Creating useful items from recycled materials
- Vision: a fully local, circular approach to plastic waste
Plastic Pollution in Cyprus
Cyprus faces a growing plastic pollution problem. Single-use plastics, packaging waste, and marine debris accumulate on beaches, in rivers, and across the landscape. The infrastructure to deal with it is limited. Most plastic in Cyprus is not recycled — it is landfilled or simply left in the environment.
Cleanups do three powerful things:
01
Direct impact
Every piece of plastic removed is one less in the ocean or the soil.
02
Awareness
Seeing the scale of the problem firsthand changes how people think about waste.
03
Community pressure
Organized, visible action pushes local authorities and businesses to take responsibility.
