Neustadt fights against garbage: 10,000 cigarette butts removed!

There has been a remarkable commitment to environmental protection in the Neustadt. During the Environmental Action Days, which took place at the end of September and beginning of October, numerous citizens invested their time and energy in almost 30 projects to make the local environment cleaner and more sustainable. The Neustadt district management emphasizes in a statement that these initiatives have provided significant impetus for overall sustainable development in the district.

The focus was particularly on the problem of garbage, which concerns many residents. During these clean-up campaigns, Neustadt residents were not only able to rid their district of waste, but also raise awareness of the effects of waste. A creative measure was the installation of so-called tip catchers, which are to be looked after by godparents in the long term. A special campaign transformed a bathtub on Langemarckstrasse into a collection point for cigarette butts, where more than 10,000 butts were collected within a very short time. District manager Astrid-Verena Dietze emphasizes that the project “Neustadt, clean!” should also be continued beyond the days of action in order to bring about lasting changes.

Diverse topics and low-threshold offers

A central goal of the action days was to make environmental and sustainability issues tangible and visible. It became clear that everyone in the Neustadt can contribute to improving the environment. Various events covered numerous and varied topics that appealed to both adults and children. By giving participants the opportunity to actively work on solutions, awareness of important environmental issues was raised.

The environmental action days also represented a platform to strengthen the existing initiatives in the Neustadt. Numerous local actors show strong commitment every day and work towards sustainable development. The events, from clean-ups to workshops, offered citizens the opportunity to participate in a variety of ways and have a direct influence.

The district management emphasizes that the actions not only served to clean up, but also strengthened the community. Through joint work and practical activities, an atmosphere of togetherness was created, which is crucial for the positive development of the district. “Sustainability is in our hands,” said one participant who shared his experiences during the action days. This initiative has shown that even small steps can make a big difference.

The environmental action days in Neustadt are an example of how community commitment can lead to concrete changes. By taking action despite the challenges associated with environmental protection, citizens are setting an example for a sustainable future. The district management has already made plans to continue to advance the goals achieved and projects such as “Neustadt, clean!” to continue. It remains exciting to see how the people of Neustadt will continue to work together for a better environment in order to improve not only their district, but also their quality of life in the long term.
