Cleaning action

BEFORE:




Last weekend the Ecology Group organized a cleaning action. The idea was very simple - take as many people as you can, plastic bags and gloves. Place them on the stairs on the way to Sušac and leave there for one hour.

AFTER:



The action was beneficial, we found: an unopened bottle of wine, a bicycle seat, someone's ID card, several shoes (each from different pair) and many others.




A group of kids, who were passing by, liked the idea of cleaning the stairs and helped us. They were really interested in the actions which the Ecology Group organizes and they promised to join us also in the future.

11th Oct 2008 - Paper Collection


A group of strange people with blue bags asking for any kind of paper attacked Mostar again! Don't leave your newspapers without supervision!

The Ecology Group organized a paper collection once again. With a new leader and fresh (firstyear) blood 3 groups of enthusiastic paper-collectors set off from the Sušac House, Musala House and school.
They were knocking from door to door and asking for used paper, old newspapers etc. As usually the reactions of people differed between each other, but in general were positive.
The amounts of paper which were gathered up are a proof. The 'donors' got also fliers with dates of next actions organized by the Ecology group, so they can start collecting paper earlier.

The action was successful and hopefully next ones will be even more beneficial for the environment. Thanks to everyone who participated!
