clean the world four times

Three editions of the Clean Up the World 2.0 campaign are behind us. The first meeting under this initiative took place in April. Then eco-divers began to act, collecting various waste from the bottom of the Motława River. The event also brought together many residents who cleaned up the areas around the retention ponds. Some participants also cleaned from water level using kayaks. The May edition is a family clean-up of the seaside strip and beaches, while in June there was the clean-up as part of the volunteering of company and institutional employees. Now is the time for the fourth and final installment of the action this year. It will be held on September 16 and 17 and is aimed primarily at teachers and students.

Clean the world up to 4 times per room

This year, four editions of the Clean Up the World campaign are planned in Gdańsk. All this to integrate co-owners responsible for their neighborhoods, housing estates or even businesses around the idea of ​​Clean City. Three events in this series have taken place in the first half of the year, and the next is scheduled for Friday and Saturday, September 16 and 17.

– The extension of the countryside is the result of the growing contamination of public spaces, but also of the greater interest of the inhabitants for this type of local activity. We want to create a synergy effect under the banner of “Clean City of Gdańsk” and an informal coalition of people of goodwill who care about the environment and their city. Everything turned out to be very promising, the response was great, for which I want to thank you – said Piotr Kryszewski, Deputy Mayor of Gdańsk for Municipal Services. – Together we are developing this movement organizationally and logistically and operating on a larger scale than before. We have invited everyone willing to cooperate: divers, canoeists, families, students, companies and institutions willing to volunteer. It should be added that the whole project perfectly reflects the ambitions of the European Capital of Volunteering, which this year is Gdańsk – he adds.

Campaigns are also a great opportunity to conduct environmental education. The highlight of the whole series will be the Ecopiknik at the Brzeźno Spa House (mentioned in the program above – ed.).

– The priority is not only to eliminate waste, but also to promote the social attitude of shared responsibility for the cleanliness of public spaces, in the context of the growing problem of litter. We work to eliminate bad habits and develop good habits. We invite you to integrate together around the ecological mission of Gdańsk – explains Olga Goitowska, director of the municipal economy department of the municipal office.
