Roman Yesaulkov: I think this event is an excellent initiative. How many people came here! It is clear that everyone is interested and more can be done. There is still a lot of free space in Dubna and I think we should strive to ensure that Dubna lives up to its name and is a large oak forest.

Ronaldo Mendez (Cuba): I think this is a wonderful event because in this way, we help nature. It's a little help from people to recover from the damage we do to it. There's also a good company here and it's fun. I'm glad I took part. And a part of me will remain to grow here in Dubna.
