There aren&#8217;t just 100 of us. There are many thousands of us..<\/strong> <br>This page gives a voice to everyone who opposes the planned CO2 storage facility near Prinos\u2014including those who can&#8217;t attend the rallies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s it about?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Prinos oil field, which is nearly depleted, lies between Thassos and Kavala. In the future, carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial facilities is to be permanently stored there, about 3 kilometers below the seafloor. The operator is EnEarth, a subsidiary of the energy company Energean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In February 2026, the relevant Greek authority (HEREMA) granted the storage permit: initially for up to 1 million metric tons of CO2 per year, for 25 years. In the long term, the plan is to store up to 3 million metric tons per year. The CO2 is to be delivered from an external source\u2014compressed and liquefied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why are so many people against it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people on Thassos and along the coast of Kavala are worried:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Our Ocean:<\/strong> What impact would an industrial waste disposal site right off the coast of the island have on the water, fish, and the fishing industry\u2014today and 50 years from now?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Our livelihood:<\/strong> Thassos thrives on tourism, clean seas, and unspoiled nature. Even the perception of being a \u201cCO2 sink\u201d can be harmful.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Our Future:<\/strong> CO2 is to be stored for decades. The responsibility for this lies with our children and grandchildren.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Our Voice:<\/strong> We haven&#8217;t been asked for our input. Decisions about our island should not be made without us.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why this page?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Often, only a few people attend rallies\u2014not because few people care, but because many are working, don&#8217;t have time during the busy season, are older, or live farther away. Here, anyone can take a minute to explain why they&#8217;re against it. Taken together, hundreds and thousands of voices show that <strong>this is not just the opinion of a few.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who can participate?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Anyone who lives or works on Thassos or along the coast of Kavala, or who feels a connection to the region.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Even older adults without a smartphone: family, friends, or caregivers can take the photo for them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It&#8217;s up to you: video or audio only, by name or anonymously (age and location only).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It&#8217;s that easy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tap &#8220;Record&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Record a short video or just an audio\u2014about a minute.

After that, it will appear on the Voices Wall.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does it do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every voice makes the wall bigger\u2014and more visible\u2014to politicians, government agencies, the media, and the public. It&#8217;s hard to overlook a large number of real people with faces, voices, and locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your email address and phone number will never be published.
