730,000 tins of food have been ordered by a generous benefactor, Stelios Haji-Ioannou, the Monaco-based founder of easyJet, for distribution to those in need in the Alpes-Maritimes and the Var. The order, placed with the Bonduelle factory and including transport from northern France, totals 730,000 tins, enough to cover an entire year’s distribution across the 19 Restos du Cœur centres in the Alpes-Maritimes. The neighbouring Var department will also benefit from the donation.
The Monaco government has launched a program to give a second life to students' digital equipment. More than 2,700 items including computers, tablets, and accessories are being refurbished and reused after being replaced in schools. The initiative reduces waste and emissions while donating equipment to local charities which support digital inclusion and vulnerable communities. Overall, the program is expected to save at least 150 tonnes of greenhouse gases.
