"In this month of October, help me clean the hamlets of Castiadas from abandoned plastic and cans, I'm already doing it. Let's organize ecological days together". The appeal - addressed to residents and non-residents - is from Silvia Spano, a young woman from Castiadas who for years has spent part of her free time cleaning the beaches from waste .
Now the “cleaning” also moves to the suburbs: «The uncivilized show no signs of decreasing», explains Spano. « Just to give an example in recent days, near the Annunziata, I collected hundreds of beer cans abandoned on the side of the road, all of the same brand . Is it possible that people do not understand the damage they are causing to the environment?» Today another round and another surprise: hundreds of beer bottles abandoned in the Olia Speciosa field.
Hence the idea of planning a series of days to clean up all the hamlets: «We will organize ourselves based on the availability of volunteers» adds Spano. «Then from time to time we will meet in one place and then leave for the various hamlets» . The appeal is to participate in large numbers: «Let's all try to collaborate, even non-residents. It is important to collect abandoned waste just as it is important to raise awareness among citizens about the need to leave the territory clean».
