RomânăAn entire week dedicated to a cleaner environment! It’s the way in which the Carpathian Foundation, together with students and professors of the Faculty of Forestry in Brasov have decided to pull an alarm signal to those who enjoy the beauty of nature, but often forget to take care of it. And the proof of this are hundreds of garbage bags collected in 5 days (31st of March-4th of April) from the area of the project LIFE FOR MARSH (The Forest and eutrophic marshes of Prejmer and Lempes Fortress Hill-Harman Marsh). Students of 3rd and 4th year participated in this action, together with prof. Daniel Iordache (UNITBV), managing to clean 8 areas (the area near the sanatorium, the area near the Caprioara refuge, the spring, the forest and the edge of the road to Bod, Prejmer Marsh, Prejmer Forest, Fantanita area, the location near the containers). We were surprised by the volume and diversity of the garbage thrown away (pampers, rasers, clothes, footwear, bottles, pets, household waste), which confirms the fact that despite of the efforts of the media and of the pro-nature militants to change the perception and actions of general public, the fight is still at the beginning. The initiative adjoins other actions conducted by organizations in the month of forests (15th March-15th April) and with the come of spring. Let’s go green!
