‘Care to Smile’ is the name of the student company started by a bunch of enthusiastic high-school students wanting to get a taste of the business world while keeping the sustainability flag high. They signed up to the ‘Junior Achievement programme – Lithuania’ to get the support they needed and got awarded as the 3rd best student company in Lithuania in 2020 (out of 280 companies). As the name suggests, ‘Care to Smile’ is producing toothpaste that takes better care of people’s health and the environment. It has a solid consistency; it is packed in a recyclable glass jar and uses only natural ingredients.
This storymap is a part of the BeUBio storymap series young people whose business ideas, jobs and other activities lead the way towards a different and more sustainable economic path. With a variety of different examples, young people from across the Baltic Sea Region, inspire new ways of making business while having a positive impact to the environment and society. The overall aim is to build a community of like-minded people, by sharing our stories and inspiring each other.
This initiative comes from the BeUBio project, a collaboration between different partners across the Baltic Sea Region pushing for youth participation in the transition to a bio-based economy, and create synergies with other actors and initiatives addressing the SDGs.
