I want to tell you a story! Like any story should start with .... There was once ... but my story begins ... there is now the case: SOS – Garbage! We all know that means S.O.S. We use this abbreviation when we need help! When persons or property are affected or life is in danger! Would it not be possible to use this abbreviation for environmental aid? And I firmly believe that we must do! In all the media are talking about the "greenhouse effect", "global warming", "glaciers" harmful effects of pollution of soil, water, air, noise about, and I would add stress and pollution of the soul! Yes, every day, smile less, communicate less, but "socialize" more .... definitely something happens and something serious ... Let's return to SOS - Rubbish!

All media, the international community, national, local talk about domestic waste, rubbish ... we do with them?

How can we get rid of them? These are questions that concern us and us. They drafted legislation, have taken measures were imposed rules. They closed landfills in cities; they do not meet EU requirements and have built new facilities for collecting, storing, annihilation (by the EU). The garbage was always a lucrative deal and anyone of those involved, is not suited to strangle the goose with the golden eggs. Even with the promise that he will continue the business, but in a civilized and friendly mediu. This involve a number of investment

expenditures, acts ... To close the landfill was needed checks and threats of fines Huge dictated by the European Commission. There were dark holes targeted but, as the heads of the Hydra of

legends in their place have emerged other way, playgrounds for children are full of trash thrown often from windows blocks, parks there is more trash on the floor than in baskets specially placed in cities on the streets, on the sidewalks there are unfortunately garbage in packs of different products, baskets being placed too far away from each other, neighborhoods are located bins for household rubbish and bins personalized paper and paperboard, but often near them some citizens take waste or garbage bins attached; Is there citizens "fighting" with the environment and the way to leave garbage service, own housing, green spaces between buildings, streets or sidewalks or even on to the neighbor's house ....

There are simple things but they happen, unfortunately , really.What to do? It is imperative to re-educate the younger generation and not only to

positive thinking and environmental friendliness! Everyone loves the beauty that we provide the environment, but what do we do for him?

Our group, in addition to other students from other groups, we have organized, and as volunteers patrol both the school environment in its courtyard, in parks and in areas where we live to periodically check the state of cleanliness. Every two weeks we organize cleansing of the above mentioned areas and involving peers, teachers, parents, neighbors in these actions. Our motto is: "The environment as we like!". We should realize younger generation, local community people that if the environment is not clean we aren’t clean! ... if the environment is polluted and we are! ... if the environment suffers and we suffer with him! Imagine illness of PLANET ..... and we will be sick! We are bound inextricably, the environment we live in!

And if we want to survive it must leave behind our coming generations a clean environment, an environment as we like !. All we have to care for the environment, to maintain and protect it!

Only together can we maintain a clean world!
