Green volunteering

In Hungary there is no explicit state organisation or institution promoting green, environmental volunteering. Nevertheless, there is the aforementioned publicly organised and maintained 'Teszedd!' Movement ('Teszedd!' Önkéntesen a tiszta Magyarországért), '72 hours of without compromise' ('72 óra kompromisszum nélkül') and the Plastic Cup (volunteer programmes of the Hungarian national parks) should be mentioned all of which involve nature conservation volunteering activities. (For more information see 9.4.)

Green production and consumption

In Hungary, there are various campaigns to promote environmentally friendly production and consumption. However, these are not aimed specifically at young people, and they can participate in the programmes. There is no available statistical data on how many young people participate in these programmes. The most important campaigns are the European Mobility Week (Európai Mobilitási Hét); the European Week for Waste Reduction (Európai Hulladékcsökkentési Hét) and the 'Green Source' Grant Scheme ('Zöld Forrás' pályázat).
