As you may have read in our article Our first event, the first event we wanted to organize was a litter pick. However, as the town hall's environment department was already organising one for spring, we left this idea aside and decided to join them. And it was done !
We prepared a poster to invite people to come, which we posted on Facebook, and which the town hall also reposted
D-day : Saturday march 19th 2022 !

It was a very funny pick-up, having to sneak into hard-to-reach places, with big tongs to catch the rubbish, looking for unusual rubbish... and we found some !
"Great" unusual waste found on the course...
In order to make this event more attractive, and to bring in more people, we had organised a small competition for the "most unusual waste". But due to a lack of competitors, we were unable to make this competition a reality.
In addition, we had prepared a quiz on the new selective sorting instructions which was to be held during the reunion aperitif, with small gifts at the end, but again due to lack of participants, it did not take place. Next time !
The return to the starting point, the sorting,
and the small aperitif offered by the town hall
As you can see from the pictures, there were only a few of us, but that didn't stop us from having a good time, and we were very happy to make this gesture for our beautiful planet and our little town! We were also lucky to have a beautiful sunny day !
We hope to be more efficient in our communication next time so that more people will join us !
See you next time ! :)
