Lefteris Arapakis Named Europe's "Young Champion Of The Earth"


Lefteris Arapakis named Europe’s “Young Champion of the Earth”

Lefteris Arapakis is one of the seven “Young Champions of the Earth” awarded annually by the United Nations for innovative environmental actions.
The 26-year-old Greek, the only European to be awarded, comes from a family of fishermen. For five generations his family has been active in the rich waters of Southern Greece, fishing for cod and red mullet.
“I got more and more worried about the scarcity of fish and the increase of plastic,” Arapakis said.
“I was deeply concerned that my father, and now my brothers, could not make a living out of this job, which is what they learned to do and what they love to do.” ....

Lefteris Arapakis: Greek fighting for Clean Seas named "Young Champion of the Earth"


Lefteris Arapakis comes from a long line of fishers. For five generations his family has plied the bountiful waters off southern Greece, netting the same cod and red mulls that have sustained Greeks for millennia.
But in recent years, overfishing and pollution, especially discarded plastic, have hammered Greece’s fisheries, with catches in the Mediterranean Sea falling as much as 34 per cent in the last 50 years.
Out at sea, Arapakis, 26, noticed many boats around his hometown of Piraeus hauling in nets filled with rubbish, instead of fish. This plastic by-catch was then simply dumped back into the water.
“I got more and more worried about the scarcity of fish and the increase of plastic,” says Arapakis, who trained as an economist. “I was deeply concerned that my father, and now my brothers, could not make a living out of this job, which is what they learned to do and what they love to do.” ....
