For this tutored project, the eight students of the license (who wear reflective clothing) in environmental management and protection were inspired by the World Clean Up Day. Organized in September, this event, present in 130 countries, brings together 5% of the population of warning about the growth of abandoned waste. In Lens, the objectives were similar: clean up wild deposits. Collect waste before sorting and recycling. Various stands such as an exhibition on litter or composting presented by Nicolle were also present to raise awareness.
Thanks to the support of the cities of Lens, Loops-en-Gazelle and CALL, each of the 70 participants was given a reflective vest (which made of fluorescent fabric and reflective tapes), a pair of gloves, pliers and garbage bags. Volunteers who responded to the call say in unison to "act on the planet". Determined, they spread over three areas of the city 12, around Vasco-de-Gama Street.
The locals, meanwhile, say they want to walk and let their children "have fun with pine cones rather than beer cans." One example among others since during the collection, more unusual waste than the others have been collected: a toilet, a television, a shoe, a scooter, a mattress... In total, a bucket of 15 cubic meters, 130 bags of glass bottles and 5 containers of cans were filled. A report that demonstrates the urgency and the need for collective awareness.
