Eco-activists launched a nationwide collection of 3 million plastic caps, i.e. 6 tons of HDPE plastic, to purchase a reconnaissance UAV for defenders.
In the first two weeks of the eco-action, it was possible to collect 488 kg of lids, reports the environmental protection organization City of the Future on Facebook.

It is noted that the lids for collection must be:
