For a whole day, the Rose Valley Park in the Botanica sector of Chișinău was transformed into a place where the good people eager to promote sustainability and eco-friendly lifestyles gathered. Local producers, social and green businesses, parents with children and young people interested in caring for the environment came together on September 22 at the IarmarEco Fair, 2024 edition.
For 12 consecutive years, we organize together with the community of responsible producers a special day where we promote conscious consumption, easily implementable ecological practices at home, sustainable product alternatives, tasty and healthy vegetarian food.
In this year's edition, we brought together 140 exhibitors, of which about 20 were with their own initiatives with social and environmental impact, and 120 were local, social, green producers and hundreds of visitors who happily exhibited each product and workshop!
This year we had lots of sunshine and lots of workshops on: waste reduction, breastfeeding, creating healthy sweets, flour milling, workshops aimed at all ages. On top of that we had an exhibition of drawings, co-created by children and teenagers from all regions of the country about the vision of "We Paint a Green Moldova". And four of the 65 works were awarded with the support of our partners Lezart and social business EduJoc.
"IarmarEco is the place where we come back to every edition. Here we meet people dedicated to change for the environment - those who create, innovate and promote nature-friendly living. It's the community with whom we share the same values and where we make our small contribution to replace single-use plastic packaging with eco-friendly ones. Thank you, EcoVisio, for an event that helps us get closer to the people!"
