Gosselin celebrates Earth Day
Gosselin celebrated Earth Day on April 22nd. Colleagues from all across the globe participated in an initiative to contribute to the environment. Adrian-George, for example, walks to and from the office every day, no matter the weather conditions. "It's a good way to get your thoughts together and have some exercise with no CO2 emissions," he says.
Andreea and Gabriel joined a big tree-planting action at an oncology hospital in Bucharest together with a group of friends.

Cristian has been recycling batteries for many years and made an extra trip to the recycling station in honor of Earth Day.
Meanwhile the Operations and Control Tower team at the headquarters in Belgium organized a gardening day to spruce up the green zone around their new office building. "The dynamic between the teams is amazing and we were very proud of our hard work even though our muscles were sore the next day," Rani from Operations laughs.
Andreea from the Romanian team has been recycling plastic and glass bottles and aluminum cans ever since Romania has implemented the return-guarantee system. "It's a small gesture, but my waste footprint will be less than it used to be."
Andrei-Bogdan made sure to recycle his paper to celebrate Earth Day.
