No matter how rough the terrain is, we don’t give up!
During the annual clean-up on Clean-Up Day, we don’t grab with velvet gloves but with rubber gloves, tongs and garbage bags.
Because we all like to party and enjoy the sunny days by the lake or river.
Unfortunately, a lot of garbage is always left lying around.
That’s why we take the opportunity to clean up the idyllic banks of the Limmat from large and small items of litter on our doorstep.
There are always some amazing finds …
There are actually plenty of ways to avoid disposing of waste in the countryside after a lunch or barbecue.
Nevertheless, littering is on the increase.
It is a growing bad habit to carelessly throw away or leave litter in public spaces.
As well as being a visual nuisance, the consequences are a burden on the environment and nature.
Whether it’s curious dogs eating cigarette butts or cows chewing on empty drinks bottles in the pasture, it could easily be avoided.
The IGSU (Interest Group for a Clean Environment) was founded in 2007 and has been campaigning against littering ever since. In addition to the annual Clean-Up Day, the organization also holds workshops in schools to raise awareness among young consumers. They also train IGSU ambassadors who draw attention to the problem of litter in public spaces.
As we are constantly dealing with environmental issues in our day-to-day work, it is a good opportunity to get outside once a year and tackle them directly on site.
There are always interesting discussions in the groups, be it in connection with the finds, about the environment in general or other topics.
Meanwhile, we have an unofficial competition to see who can collect the largest or most original find.
This “mechanical calculator” won two years ago.
A lamp stand last year.
According to the motto “You can count on us, even if it almost extinguishes you while collecting.”
