Clean streets for Obervumand: garbage collection starts now!
In a city full of history and pride, the garbage is an issue that affects us all. Especially in the streets and green areas of Bremen, where cigarette butts, broken glass bottles and plastic packaging often cause trouble. The non-profit association has set itself the task of fighting against this pollution and organizing regular garbage collection campaigns, now also in Oberwandand.
With Oberwandand, the tenth district of Bremen participates in these important initiatives. Claudia Buß, the godmother of the district, has already carried out two successful collection campaigns with volunteers. In these meetings, complete Bremen garbage bags that grasp around 70 liters were filled. The garbage that has been collected ranges from plastic packaging to cigarette butts to beer bottles.
not so easy: the garbage blindness
But why is there so much garbage at all? According to northwest reports , many people often do not even open their eyes when they see cigarette butts or empty drinking packages on the ground. The "Clean Up City" initiative wants to controlled, on the other hand, and relies on the awareness of the population. In addition to regular collection campaigns, actions such as the Halloween Cleanup are important in which participants drew attention to the problem.
It is not uncommon for the waste collected to accept quite bizarre shapes - toilet glasses and jewelry have already been found! But the real problem is the dangerous substances that can get into the groundwater due to improper disposal. The volunteers are actively preparing with garbage bags, gripping tongs and protective gloves and speaking to passers -by to promote responsible use of garbage.
a strong network for clean roads
The next dates for the garbage collection campaigns in Oberwandand are certain: on July 27th and on August 31, the committed helpers meet at the community center at 11 a.m. Bremen city cleaning generously supports these initiatives by providing free equipment such as garbage bags. Interested parties can easily register by email or instagram.
The Environmental Federal Agency emphasizes that the promotion of the circular economy is central to environmental protection. Conventional economic growth must be decoupled from the waste production. Packing at the local level through initiatives such as "Clean Up City" is a step in the right direction. We all approach waste and should be integrated into everyday life.
The idea of starting on your own door is particularly important. Katrin Zeise, the founder of "Clean Up City", emphasizes this. With a strong team from volunteers, the club is doing everything possible to make Oberwandand and other districts a bit more beautiful - with a "good hand" for the community. Take in, the next time you collect garbage, not only the environment, but also the cooperation is strengthened!
