Go Green initiative winners interview - Hungary

Our winning initiative was planting trees for Transcom’s 20th birthday. We did not just celebrate this anniversary, but also dedicated each tree to our colleagues, who proved their prosperous work and loyalty throughout at least a decade at Transcom.  Each planted tree is named after these colleagues one by one. A very simple form of appreciation, but also environmentally friendly and collectively helpful for all.

We planted 25 trees, which might not sound like a huge quantity at first. However, one tree can produce lots of oxygen, also it successfully regenerates the ecosystem nearby. I can just really hope it inspires other colleagues on different sites to take this kind of action. You never ever can do harm by planting trees. Floral life starts with trees, giving us the most essential condition of human existence; the oxygen.

Well, we say “become part of something brilliant”, don't we? Today’s fast paced world impacts negatively not just us as human beings, but our environment. Caring and somewhat pampering our flora and fauna, different ecosystems is a collective and common interest, let’s say a brilliant interest.

Honestly, being self-conscious about our environment is not something new to me. I was raised to pick up trash, not to throw away, separate it selectively and if there is no rubbish bin nearby, I take it with me to the next bin. I, myself, find it a huge problem how some people and corporate entities do not care about their negative actions towards nature and the ozone shield. If everyone would act locally,- does not matter if it is a business conglomerate or average citizen- that achieves results globally. So, act locally and watch the result globally.

I hope we have no hopes, but goals. So, everyone keeps up the good and resultful work, we still have a lot to do!
