“Waste is not garbage, but a resource”, says Hristo Hristov while crossing all of Sofia and its surroundings on a daily basis. He collects what we all throw away and he does it professionally. Yes, this also requires knowledge, skills, preparation and discipline. He drives a bus. First a small one, and now bigger; already 4 years. Before diving into the world of recycling he delivered fruits and vegetables.
In his youth, Hristo was a football player. He even played two official matches for FC Levski Sofia – against Belasitsa (Petrich) and Marek (Dupnitsa). He attends an evangelical church in his neighborhood and sometimes talks at the church gatherings.
He works hard to secure the future of his two daughters – aged 4 and 8.
Many of us do not know what to recycle and how to prepare it. Hristo is an expert – he will show us and teach us.
See Hristo at TEDxVitosha COUNTDOWN 5 on 15th October at Grand Hotel Millennium Sofia. Book your tickets here.
