About Green Friday. Stop! Today The Car Is Standing Still!

Romfilatelia once again has highlighted the responsibility of every citizen for environmental protection, joining the “Green Friday” campaign, initiated by the Ministry of Environment, Waters and Forests, through the postage stamps issue with the theme: “Give your car a day off!”, which have been put into circulation on Friday, January 28th a.c.

The Ministry of Environment, Waters and Forests (MEWF) initiated and launched the “Green Friday” campaign on the 12.03.2021 in order to promote alternative means of transportation. 

The campaign, has at its main theme - the slogan “Give your car a day off!”, and urges employees of the public sector in Romania to use alternative means of transportation instead of cars on Fridays in order to decrease pollution and lower carbon emissions and encourage the use of pedestrian traffic for the benefit of health.

Using this campaign, Romania has drawn attention to the need to improve air quality, and also to the responsibility that each of its citizens has in protecting the environment. This action will be complemented by a series of measures adopted by the Ministry of Environment, Waters and Forests to encourage urban travel using electric cars, bicycles, scooters and local public transport.

The Ministry of Environment, Waters and Forests for the documentary has given support to Romfilatelia (Romanian Post) in the bringing out of this postage stamps issue.
