Namely, Čarapa Theater is part of a unique project in Europe that focuses on educating both children and adults about recycling and environmental protection. The project called "Limenkica-ulaznica" (Tin Can Ticket) is well-known because the ticket to the shows doesn't have to be paid for with money but with five empty, used beverage cans.
