Feature: Act now -- Greek UNEP prize winner calls for efforts against marine pollution

Lefteris Arapakis (R) and his colleague collect waste of plastics from fishermen at the port of Keratsini, a port suburb of Piraeus, Greece, Dec. 17, 2020. With a vision to make the ecosystem sustainable, Lefteris Arapakis in 2016 co-founded Enaleia, a social start-up that helps recycle and upcycle marine plastic waste. For his innovative idea and consistent efforts for sustainable environmental change, the 26-year-old was named earlier this week as one of the UN Environment Program's (UNEP) seven Young Champions of the Earth for 2020, along with Chinese environmentalist Ren Xiaoyuan and others.
