Environmental action: Cleaning up the Bega river and its riverbanks (Timisoara, Romania)

Ecological Volunteering

The astronomical confirmation of the arrival of Spring proved to be a strong motivation for the volunteers of the “New Acropolis” school in Timisoara to connect with the surrounding natural environment and actively participate in its wellbeing. Packed with tens of trash bags, gloves and water-proof gear, together with our friends from “Vertical Adventure”, we hopped in kayaks and set out to clean up the Bega River and its riverbanks. One thing that deeply moved us, on this third participation in this initiative, was the realization of the lasting impact of our actions. We could clearly see how, year after year, the amount of waste decreased significantly. It shows how a small number of big hearts can make a difference!
