september 21th, 2024: thanks to lisa from our neighborhood we've finally started to clean up the surroundings in front of our house doors => cleanup neuaubing as our share at the #worldcleanupday. i've joined similar actions already many times. especially the ramadama cleaning at the isar river banks in the barbecue centre of munich (=flaucher), where - compared to neuaubing - is almost no trash to find .... well, basically i just collect trash on my own on the beaches + streets + forests when i'm walking around and do not wait for any organized action 😃

40 to 50 activists + 2 hours.

at the end everyone has got a scoop of ice cream 🍦

very few more pics here. i'll maybe use that album later for similar pics / isssues ... btw, next cleanup neuabing action is planned for march 30th, 2025. see you there? 😀

of course, there are many ways to make this planet a better place. we could invest our time / energy / money e.g. to provide better education or spare time program for children, grow healthy food, donate blood, help refugees or elderly people, improve wikipedia or some open source software (linux, mozilla firefox, open office, etc), you name it. there is (at least) one more issue which is really important for me = planting trees 🌳... i do support such actions from time to time financially and yes, approx once a year i plant few trees from my flower pots in the nearby forest at places, which really need more trees & bushes. if interested, you can visit an old blog post for my planting trees action.

addendum october 27th, 2024: let's plant trees in my neighborhood again (neuaubing / freiham)

world cleanup day

also this year few friends, other approximately 50 activists and me joined the the world cleanup day. many of them with their children, which is a very positive educational behaviour, isn't it? we tried to clean up the isar river banks in munich. as the city of munich provides a lot of garbage cans in this area, there is not so much waste as few years ago. and thanks goodness, we do not need to compare isar with  the waste monster yangon river before the trash heroes arrived, too.

anyway, we found a lot of plastic, empty cigarette packs and a lot of broken glass. if you asked me, the disposal of only 8 cents per bottle of beer is not enough to discourage the drinkers to throw their bottles away. maybe with a disposal of 1 euro per bottle (which is more than a beer itself costs 😃), there would be much much fewer broken beer bottles out there, wouldn't it? 

well, we also found some coins, but not enough to buy a bottle of beer 😂.

we have had a nice weather, so it was a beautiful day outside.

the biggest paradox today? i could collect much more waste in a huge waste bag on my way home from the s-bahn (metro) station neuaubing then 10 people found at the isar river banks. yes, there are no garbage cans in our part of neuaubing 😟.

let's keep our world clean ... and clean up after others too. somebody has to do it :-)
