Georgia’s Environment Protection Ministry launched a new social advertising campaign that features parkour boys removing garbage from Tbilisi streets in a bid to encourage citizens not to litter.

The social movement launched earlier this month and included several short online video clips where a number of Georgian sportsmen call on society not to purposely pollute the environment.
