I got to shake the mayor's hand ... and got a free t-shirt. Na na na na na!

Well, I showed up for the mass clean up in Agios Athanasios today. There were about 20 people there, half of whom were children. I got the impression that most of them were municipal employees or had family connections to the municipality. With this small number of people it was obviously going to be a fairly cosmetic exercise and we cleaned up the verges and pavements along a roughly 400 metre stretch of road. Better than nothing, though.

I completely forgot about this! Well done Tim (and all others) for your efforts.

Good job .

[Antreis]

Thanks.
The young volunteers will continue their attempt to clean-up the whole area( and other areas as well ) with or without the help of the official authorities .In the Eukalyptus Forest "event" the SBA police was there for moral support .
It is worth to mention that the volunteers were mostly young college students doing their summer vacation and some people from countries ranging from Canada to Malaysia .
By the way , Dixan , sponsored the event.

I think you should dump the whole lot back into the centre of the nearest town....The same should happen in the TRNC.

It appears/or not any Cypriots are involved. Thats a shame. Environmental cleenliness should be instilled in the locals and not just depend on foreign students.

I wonder if similar arrangements exist in the north of the island.

Well I picked up a few bits of rubbish on the way to the toilets near Magusa Deniz....

They should start charging for carrier bags like they do n the UK now. Then I might not have to see mile upon mile of them hanging from trees and they might even be harvested by the public if a price was put on them.

Tell me about it. They could at least keep the moat of the castle clean. It is our 'August Lady' after all (Famagusta, August Lady) - the 'Jewel in the Crown'.

Honestly...I really can't understand it....I don't even live there but was impelled to pick up other peoples rubbish as best I could. Girne castle was a complete joke. Plastic water bottles shoved into every nook and cranny they could find. I can give the TRNC a little bit of an excuse because of the Embargoes and lack of money but the public should behave responsibly because of it...The "RoC" has no excuse what so ever.
