It’s a wonderful thing when one of the most fashionable events a country has each year is the annual clean up day. Perhaps this sounds a bit utopian, but in the Balkans, countries that had once been divided by war are now uniting in the fight against trash. One example of this involves the border area of Albania and Kosovo, where 5 percent of Albanian citizens and 7 percent of Kosovo’s cleared the rubbish in the area as well as a local lake. In Slovenia, an astounding 14 percent of the population mobilized to clear illegal landfills. See here how the Balkan nations are bridging gaps between themselves to clear up pollution.
Clean-up days work, just ask the Balkans
