Athens capital of Greece, is located in the central east part of Greece
called "sterea ellada", is rapidly becoming a leading business centre in
the European Union. Athens is central to economic, financial,
industrial, political and cultural life in Greece. The name is related
to the goddess Athena. In the ancient times Athens was a very powerful
city and the main cultural center, is considered the most historic city
in Europe. A bustling and cosmopolitan metropolis with an wide urban
population of 5 million. Athens is a big urban city, very expensive with
a low percentage of "green". In the last years there have been a lot of
project concerning the reduction of problems, even though there are
more to solve. There is a big discrimination for the immigrants,
environmental contamination and daily political and economical problems.
In tha boundaries of Athens is situated, usually, the working class,
and many young people with less cultural opportunities as, everything is
situated in the center of Athens. Our aim is to contribute at the
environmental sensitize of the public and information with emfasi given
