We wrote about the “Show Class, Clean Up After Your Pet” campaign in December last year. The Municipal Housing Management Company in Bolesławiec decided to make a video intended to encourage residents to clean up after their pets. The video featured, among others, Iga Gręda and Damian Pikuła, the miss and mister of the Bolesławiec Ceramic Festival, respectively.

“I liked this campaign,” said Dariusz Mucha, a Forum councillor, during the December session of the City Council. “I would also like us to try to launch a ‘Pick Up the Paper Around You’ campaign. It is unbelievable how many young people throw paper away when leaving a shop. The city looks fantastic, but this litter is gradually starting to bother us.”

He added that one television campaign can do a great deal of good. Sometimes Bolesławiec residents are unaware of certain things (the councillor gave the example of the PSZOK, the Municipal Selective Waste Collection Point). “I would ask for more campaigns about what is permitted in the city and what residents are entitled to,” he stressed.
