“The Elephant In The Room”
The elephant in the room is a phrase to describe a situation of a major problem, which while we know it exists we decide not to pay attention to it, not to deal with it and simply to ignore it.

We want to mention here the problem of the climate crisis.
We know that the destruction of the environment exists, we see it every day.....but what do we do about it? We continue to live our daily lives in the hope that the problem will magically disappear ...
But the problem does not disappear, on the contrary "the elephant", that is, grows more and more in the room, grows so much that at some point it will occupy the whole room and we will no longer be able to move. Then and only then will we decide to deal with it, but the chances will now be slim to solve the problem.
We can't ignore the elephant in the room anymore, climate change is now so great that it's impossible to ignore...
The Greek Eco Project team, watching the elephant grow, is inspired by ideas for everyday life.Small changes with a big impact to move the elephant back to its natural place.
