Call to make relay-race Bicycle total integration between us cycle Mediterranean Sea. Together! Joint to route on your bicycle!
Lets remove the boundaries in ours mind to build international, first common path around Mediterranean Sea - between us.

The expedition along the Mediterranean coast will transform the motto “i THINK!” It is connected with Factor Foundation The foundation will unite designers, scientists and researchers, the so called developers of consumer goods. Gathering in groups, the intellectuals will design materials, technologies and products for industrial production, which will spare the environment in the future. Factor Foundation will deal with the reasons for the problem with garbage and not with the consequences of it.
From 1 January 2010 till 10 November 2010 the bicycle expedition “REcycle” will be held along the whole basin of the Mediterranean. The expedition will continue 10 months, passing through 22 countries and covering more than 23000 km.
My role of researcher, will study the reasons for the problem with the garbage, which I will collect from different countries. The aim will be to analyse the way of thinking of different social, religious and demographic groups regarding the consumption and the environmental protection.
The first topic of the study will be “Recycling the thinking". It will be focused on how people from different countries handle the problem with garbage and what they do in connection with its disposal, how people think and what attitude they have towards the environment.
The second topic will be “Bicycle riding as a way of life, way to stay healthy and to move”. Realisation of a tourist cycling corridor and the first in the world full bicycle tour of the Mediterranean.

Аgitated the people for willing up their culture about separable throw the garbage and recycle the one way pakages. My way was through the countries that are *not perceive rubbish’s problem that the *Black Sea’s health. My mission was most important exhortation not only separable throw the rubbish for recycling and exhortation for care about Black Sea’s health. Most important made motive to care about the Black Sea’s health that needed join action of all inhabitants around the Black Sea. I have education in Sofia, National Academy of Art with Master of Industrial Design. A lot of time I project so many products and now I thoughtful about fact how much I harm for surroundings. Human throw so many plastic’s packages, poly bags and other products that are design for a last ten years that will can recycle of nature for some thousands years. If is not stop it, ours offspring will live in the rubbish container with gas mask.
