Very active on social networks and mainly on
Instagram, the famous Belgian rapper Romeo Elvis is
involved in the fight for the environment.
He does not hesitate to raise awareness among his
Instagram followers by encouraging them to use a
reusable drink bottle rather than plastic bottles.
In early January 2019, he launched the
#MaGourdeAMoi (My own gourd) hashtag. This
campaign was so successful that he later published a
petition to Charles Michel, the Belgian Prime Minister to
ban plastic bottles in public schools and install water
points for students.
Charles Michel has not reacted yet, but it is not the most
important point. The gourd has now become trendy in
playgrounds and high school audiences. Well done
Roméo!
