Butts, waste paper and empty bottles: eco-volunteers clean up Feltre

Good participation in the “puliAMo Feltre” initiative: the participants, divided into teams, beat the city inch by inch

FELT. The return of the teams was set at 5 pm in Pra ‘del Moro, but at 5.30 pm there were still yellow or orange bibs lining the streets of the city to clean up sidewalks and streets from butts, litter and some glass bottles. An excellent job was done by the Ecovolunteers of the Feltre Mountain Union who spent an ecological afternoon under the banner of “puliAMO Feltre”.

And the response was more than satisfactory with a good participation of people, some of whom just yesterday approached the group for the first time. And then several children, thanks to the involvement of some school groups and Rugby Feltre who participated with a good group of young athletes.

All armed with good will, and equipped with harnesses, gloves, bins, plastic bags and special pliers to pick up small objects left on the ground, the eco-volunteers met in the early afternoon in Pra ‘del Moro. An organizational work carried out by the referent Pierina Levorato, with the people divided into teams that have scattered in the city center as well as in the busiest streets, beating the territory inch by inch and cleaning the soil of any waste.

«It went well», says coordinator Ermes Zanella, «even if we did not reach the numbers of the previous initiative when we involved civil protection and Palio districts. This time we launched the appeal and it was also nice to see some new faces willing to lend a hand and join the group ».
