The "Man restores the green place" project aims to encourage environmentally friendly behavior among children and stimulate local communities to participate in environmental projects. Through a contest, 20 local community projects to clean up and restore degraded green spaces were selected to receive €1,000 for materials. Over 56 projects were registered on Facebook and through a mobile app. The projects arranged picnic areas, school gardens, and hospitals. Over 1,350 volunteers participated in the 20 winning projects, collecting over 700 bags of waste and planting 2,000 trees across 10 Romanian cities. The project addresses the lack of green spaces in Romanian cities and restoration of existing damaged green areas.
