The episode honors Earth Day with a focus on sustainability efforts by young Slovaks and features an interview with environmental activist Erik Baláž.
The world, including Slovakia, marked Earth Day on March 22nd. This year’s theme, “Our Power, Our Planet,” underscores a simple but powerful message: environmental progress does not depend on any single administration or election, but on collective action and shared responsibility. To honor Earth Day and the individuals and communities working to protect the environment, RSI presents a special program. We begin in Trnava at the Youth ESG Academy Summit, hosted by the Baterkáreň reuse center. The event showcased teams of young Slovaks and their innovative projects aimed at promoting sustainability in their local communities. We then speak with environmental activist and nature documentary filmmaker Erik Baláž, who reflects on his work and his lifelong commitment to protecting Slovakia’s wild landscapes.
