Limpar Portugal – 20 March 2010

We all make rubbish, and more and more of it. Sometimes we don't even know where to leave it: that television that broke down, the mattress that's past it, the kitchen tiles we replaced.

What matters is that we stay informed and take that rubbish to the right places, even if it isn't always the solution that means the least work for us.

To think and feel that our home extends beyond 4 walls is very important. Our home is also the places we pass through every day, it is our street, our neighbourhood, the park where we go for walks, the beach we go to on holiday - our home is the world!

Taking care of this great home of ours is what this initiative, taking place on 20 March 2010, proposes. Sign up as volunteers, help spread the word about the initiative in your municipality, take part in your working group. Whether you help a lot or a little, what matters is that each of us does a bit.

On the website www.limparportugal.org you can find out all about this "Limpar Portugal" (Clean Up Portugal) project, and at http://limparportugal.ning.com you can sign up on the site and join the group or groups you want to help.

Let's get to work! Clean Up Portugal! We're going to do it! What about you? Are you going to stay at home?
