The expedition along the Mediterranean coast will transform the motto "I think!" It is connected with foundation "Factor", recently registered by Vyacheslav Stovanov. The foundation will unite designers, scientists and researchers, the so called developers of consumer goods. Gathering in groups, the intellectuals will design materials, technologies and products for industrial production, which will spare the environment in the future. Foundation "Factor" will deal with the reasons for the problem with waste and not with the consequences of it.

From 1 January 2010 till 10 November 2010 the bicycle expedition "Recycle" will be held along the whole basin of the Mediterranean. The expedition will continue 10 months, passing through 22 countries and covering more than 23000 km.
