Circular economy/zero waste

Circular economy is not only a lifestyle for individuals but it can also be a successful business model for companies and entrepreneurs. Through our projects, we aim to create a new generation of users rather than owners

sustainable-agriculture

Sustainable agriculture

Farming is still trendy! With the help of local communities we learn more about rural life, traditions and culture from our ancestors. In return, we promote education and training of the rural population regarding innovation, entrepreneurship and digitalisation.

sustainable-mobility

New and sustainable mobility

Living in rural areas presents its challenges, first and foremost due to the lack of well-developed infrastructures. At Follow the Leaf we encourage the usage of bikes, for both locals and tourists, while also taking advantage of the tools offered by the e-mobility revolution.

cleaner-oceans

Cleaner oceans

The ocean is the lifeblood of our planet,” said UN Secretary-General António Guterres. Help us keep them clean during our clean-up days; or join forces with us in raising awareness about sustainable-managed fish stocks and the importance of marine protected areas.

biodiversity

Biodiversity protection

Did you know that in Sicily, there are more than 3,000 types of plants, over 200 bird species and 40 different mammals? Moreover, 245 Natura 2000 sites protect 470,000 hectares of land, in other words, 18% of the island. But all of this is at risk and it is also our job to protect what surrounds us, without taking it for granted. Let’s keep in touch with us and Mother Nature!

Sustainable architecture/tourism

Sicily thrives on tourism. Can it be more sustainable? Yes it can. Old buildings can be more efficient and new ones can create added value by showcasing what the territory has to offer. Join us in building a more sustainable approach to tourism, so that we can all enjoy the beauty of this land.
