Blagichka (Благичка) is the first zero waste restaurant in Bulgaria, while also employing young people at disadvantage. The place unites in the love for food and the preparation of quality and delicious meals and the belief that young people are the most important wealth, which our society has and should invest in. The team of Blagichka believes that eating is a ritual which brings us happiness and energy, that giving a chance to disadvantaged young people is a great mission, and that every effort not to throw away waste pays off. The core mission behind this initiative is to achieve a healthier, more socially responsible and environmentally friendly lifestyle and to spread awareness about it.  In their daily work they follow the 5 principles of the philosophy ZERO WASTE: Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rot - compost.

In this episode we present to you the founder of the first Zero Waste Restaurant in Bulgaria - Blazhka Dimitrova. We will talk about her personal journey on sustainability, what inspires her to keep on track, and what we as a younger generation could do to lessen our environmental footprint. For us, it was such a  pleasure to interview an inspiring environmental entrepreneur and learn more about the ideas behind her hard work.
