A resident of the Alytus district said that on Wednesday, when he went for a walk with a puppy, he saw garbage bags in the woods. “I love nature, so when I saw it, even my blood boiled. Also, I thought: dogs running around, scratching bags and throwing everything away even more. I came home shaking,” he said.
Then Alytus called a person who lived nearby and together, breaking the bags among the small scraps that were left in the sewing shops, they unexpectedly found a phone number.
“I tried to call, I couldn’t. So I brought the photos to the Alytus group on Facebook and people started sharing them. Apparently the garbage owners saw it too, because there was a stir. They called me and said no they threw it themselves, the company gives the waste to someone. And I replied that I am not interested in business, I am interested in garbage. 9 pm Last night I received a message that people are being sent and that the waste will be collected. And really , there were no more in the morning, “said the woman.
By the way, it turned out that there were more of those bags. “Such waste management in the forest? Alytus was surprised. – And I didn’t do it for fines – for me, after all, I live here, I’m going to walk. Teaching others is more important to me, I don’t want that to happen again. “
Olga Vėbrienė, director of the Department of Environmental Protection, when she learned about the case, also reacted immediately: “The funny thing is that people understand that it is possible to take care of the environment for themselves, without expecting anything, here and now. I cannot personally thank these people because I do not know them, but I can express my public gratitude: thank you for caring that they are indifferent, that they are creating a safe and clean environment, albeit quietly and confidently. “
At the same time, O. Vėbrienė emphasized that all the officials of the Department of Environmental Protection highly value the help of the population.
“There is a growing awareness that people are joining communities and non-governmental organizations to do more. Our Notification Service receives many reports of violations and more and more people want to become non-permanent environmental inspectors,” said the head of the Department.
And O. Vėbrienė warned those who still think that black work can be done under the cover of darkness: “Yes, maybe no one will meet you at that time, but in the morning everything you have done will become visible. And if a good person passes, I don’t know how it will end for you. “
