And So They Grow...

So, believe it or not, it’s National Clean up Week. 14th to 19th September.
You wouldn’t think so judging by the lack of publicized events or campaigns.
It was only a few months ago that Pikitup launched their “Clean City Clean Game” Campaign and held a Clean Up Day encouraging the public to get involved. No sign of any activity now tho, and you would have thought that it would have been a great opportunity to use.
Maybe the Clean Up Day wasn’t as successful as they touted in the media?
Or maybe our government didn’t feel like really supporting the cause this year. In truth, this isn’t a fair statement - some areas are involved - I wrote to the South African Government Information website and asked if anything was going on, and to my surprise they actually responded! Apparently the Eastern Cape is the only province that seems to believe in the cause with the following activity planned:
“The Clean Up programme will be a community based environmental campaign that inspires and empowers communities from every corner of Mthata to clean up, fix up and conserve their local environment.”
If you google “national clean up week” you’ll find loads of info about past years activities, so I really find it strange that this year got ‘forgotten’. Especially when you consider all the talk about cleaning up the country prior to the 2010 Soccer.
Pikitup even had a Clean City summit recently, where again it was reiterated that we need to tidy up before we’re on the world stage, and yet they let a great opportunity slip away.
I don’t get it. Did I miss something?
Puppies due in September. Juno and Kobe!
Stay tuned here for all the bouvier puppy stuff.
