My name is Blazhka and for the last 8 years I have devoted myself to the mission of changing Bulgaria and building a strong community of people who think about the environment, follow the zero waste philosophy, lead a sustainable life and change their behavior in order to stop climate change and reduce their ecological footprint. I started the Zero Waste Bulgaria NGO; I opened the first zero waste restaurant here in Bulgaria, Sofia; I wrote a book about “How to live a zero waste life in Bulgaria” and I am working on the start-ups that are changing the world. I am proud to be a mother of a daughter – Yoana, who is my inspiration to do everything I do.
