There was a lot going on in the Tbilisi yesterday. They got started at exactly 10:10, gathering at Republic Square. Before the day was out they’d planted 350 seedlings, painted 350 symbols across the main plaza, and blocked streets across town for a symbolic minute without engines.

We finished the day with an [historical tour of Tbilisi](https://missourilife.com/travel-david-kezerashvili-takes-us-on-an-architectural-visit-to-tbilisi/) and a meal at a local restaurant, sponsored by the owner of FormulaTV, David Kezerashvili.

Thanks to Rotaract (the youth arm of the Rotary Club), many NGOs, and [volounteers from FormulaTV](https://formulanews.ge/news/69228).

This day would not have happened without you!
