Raising awareness among youth

A 32-minute documentary was made about the adventure and the ecological commitment. It is notably broadcast in schools to raise awareness among the youngest.
 

​Leaving a legacy

​All the collected butts are recycled into awareness plates to continue to appeal to the French
