Ollie Recycles in Croatia

The first Ollie Recycles workshop was held in Croatia on May 6th 2002 in Cakovec, a small town between the rivers Mura and Drava.

Held in the streets of Cakovec, the workshop demonstrated the Ollie Recycles CD-ROM and displayed t-shirts, stickers and information pamphlets sent from Australia.

The workshop was organised by Greenrepublic, part of an NGO (Non Governmental Organization) concerned with enironmental protection. There are a number of environmental NGOs throughout Central and Eastern Europe.
