Meet Angela.
She is 38 years old, and she lives in Nicosia, Cyprus, with her son Sebastian, who is 7.
Angela works as a psychologist, and she is passionate about her job, because she can help people, and new studies always make it very interesting.
She loves to spend her time relaxing, exercising, and meeting with friends and family in her free time.
Angela realised that she generally doesn’’t pay much attention to sustainability, so she decided to make some changes in their lifestyle and involve Sebastian, to educate him and make him feel responsible and in control of small but meaningful actions.
Today, you will help Angela with decisions related to waste management.
