Every year on April 22, we commemorate Earth Day, the main goal of which is to make life here more beautiful, healthier and as long as possible. On this occasion, various activities are held all over the world and Brezno is no exception. The city, in cooperation with Technical Services and elementary schools, has traditionally organized an event aimed at improving the surroundings.
The motto of Earth Day 2023 is Invest in our planet. It reminds us that each of us is responsible for saving humanity from the climate crisis.
They rolled up their sleeves and started spring cleaning
Pupils of elementary schools in Brezno exchanged sitting in school desks for useful work in the field and, in cooperation with the mayor Tomáš Abel and the city's vice-mayors Miroslav Fašang and Andrej Barančok, traditionally participated in spring cleaning. Together, they joined forces, rolled up their sleeves and set about improving the environment. Pupils from MPČĽ 35 took aim at the Mazorníkovo housing estate, the areas around the church and the grounds of the elementary and kindergarten schools, from ZŠ Karol Rapoš they collected garbage and cleaned the surroundings of the Hron embankment, and from Pionierska 2 they focused on the Banisko location. The result is visible and added to that is the joy and warm feeling of a job well done, as well as praise from the city management and teachers.
Get involved, people of Brezno
Residents of Brezno, don't hesitate and get involved in the beautification of the spaces near your home and, at least in a small way, put your hand to the work. If you missed doing so last Saturday, it's still not too late. Meaningful physical work certainly does not harm anyone, on the contrary, surely every resident cares about his city being clean and beautiful.
During spring cleaning it is enough to take shovels, brooms, rakes or other tools and sweep the sidewalks, pull weeds, dig lawns or collect garbage in front of residential and family houses. Waste removal will be ensured by the Technical Services, which citizens ask for in advance for their cooperation. Several piles must be made into one larger one, while there must be no rocks between the leaves and the grass. They must be placed in an accessible place so that a car can reach them and the waste can be taken away. After cleaning, you can contact TS via SMS on tel. number: 0950 761 520. Gloves and waste bags can be picked up at the Technical Services gatehouse during working hours from Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. To motivate others, you can send photos of the cleaned site and full bags to the e-mail: ivana.malcekova@ brezno.sk.
„Thank you to the students, my representatives and all the residents who put their hands to work and started spring cleaning. Together, we contributed to making our city more beautiful and above all healthier. I would like to thank everyone who throughout the year, with their responsible approach, contributes to maintaining cleanliness and order in the city," Mayor Tomáš Abel concluded.
