Meeting the authorities:
The goal of the meeting was to persuade the authorities to take
responsibility toward the glass waste recycling. We set an appointment with Mr.
Aleksandar Mikic, mayor of Subotica, Ms. Mariska Hargitai, expert in
environmental issues and Ms. Angela Belucci, economist in the mayor’s office.
The authorities...
The meeting took about 15
minutes, our activist group members were disappointed because present persons
manifested superficial approach and always tried to avoid the main subject. As
a conclusion, our group was advised to find money and solution for glass waste
recycling process because they are more interested in having and continuing
actual comfortable situation that is harmful from the point of view of
economics, environment, employment and national benefits for our region
Subotica.
Outcomes of the
meeting:
At the end of the meeting,
GLASSCYCLING group handed to the mayor the petition signed by 10.000 people,
which has the aim “to
demand that the local subdivision of Environmental protection office from
Subotica to implement the existing legislation so that the waste glass to be
collected separately and recycled”.
The group is expecting an answer to the petition in 30 days.
We hope the petition will change the attitude of the authorities
toward this issue.
Sincerly yours,
THE GLASSCYCLING POWER TEAM!!!
