In Aachen we also looked beyond technology and spoke about our role in caring for the world around us. The Clean Planet initiative, presented by Michael 
Clean Planet began in 2018 and has since inspired almost 40,000 clean-up walks by people across the globe. The idea is straightforward: go outside, collect rubbish, take a photo, and share the experience on Hive using the " #cleanplanet " tag. Each walk not only helps free nature from waste but also sparks conversations about Hive and the value of community-driven action.
The project averages more than a hundred clean-up walks each week and has become a positive way to combine environmental care with blockchain visibility. It is proof that even small efforts, multiplied by many people, can make a big difference.
At the summit we also joined the movement in practice, meeting on Sunday morning for a walk through the forest near the Belgian border, collecting litter together. A reminder that Hive is not only about code and apps, but also about shared values and real-world action.
