My name is George Karadakis, I am 20 years old, and I am the Founder & CEO of CASpire, an environmental team that aims to bring together people from diverse groups and backgrounds towards a collective environmental goal: to leave a lasting impact on our environment! Currently, I am a 3rd year bachelor student at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), studying Molecular Biotechnology. 

Since I was 10 years old, my father used to take me with him to volunteer in environmental events organized by his employer, the National Bank of Greece. These experiences served as a great inspiration to me in creating CASpire, shaping a newfound passion for the environment. Having completed more than 20 actions in Greece and not only during the last 4 years, I am proud of the work we have done and always look forward to more actions and the creation of a greener world in the future! 

My life motto as my idol Muhammad Ali once said is: 

"Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on Earth"

My name is Ioannis Karagianidis, I am a 19-years-old 2nd year International Business Administration student at Tilburg University, and the environmental issue has always interested me since I was a kid. Playing basketball in a team for the past 12 years not only taught me the value of collaboration and teamwork, but most importantly the significance of determination and commitment, which cultivated inside me a passion for making a difference in all aspects of my life. 

Therefore, I am proud to have taken on the role of Executive Director of CASpire Environmental Team, overseeing the operations leaders. I’ve always been inspired by the idea of bringing people together towards a collective goal and I believe that when our minds come together, equipped with the right tools and mindsets, then we can create a lasting impact on the environment. I’m excited to lead our efforts at CASpire and contribute to a greener and more connected world! 

My name is George Keramaris and I am a 19- years-old 1st year student at the Erasmus University of Rotterdam, studying Economics & Business. I have various interests such as basketball, football and the arts. Apart from these, the theme of the environment has always drawn my attention and has become an inextricable part of my everyday life. 

Coming from a country where forests are being destroyed and burned on a rampant rate each year, thus witnessing such a harrowing reality myself, I decided to do something about it. Over the past year I have participated in several environmental actions of CASpire, including reforestations, beach cleanups and clothes recycling actions. I am proud to become an operations leader of CASpire team and contribute to this innovative environmental fight by receiving this administrative role. My goal is to  enlarge the impact of our team and become a true environmental change-maker.
