To mark World Environment Day, a modest event was held on Friday at the Geroskipou Municipal Beach to present two ecological installations. To deliver the two projects, the Municipality of Geroskipou partnered with the “AKTI” Project and Research Centre and the 2nd Primary School of Geroskipou, under the artistic direction of visual artist Elena Daniil.

The idea behind the installations is to involve beach visitors in drastically reducing the amount of plastic waste left on the sand, or, worse still, ending up in the sea itself. Beyond that, it is also an enjoyable way to teach children about the environment and to remind adults of their ecological responsibilities, as each of us individually, and all of us collectively, must find ways to adopt a more environmentally friendly way of life. The event was attended by the Commissioner for the Environment, Ms Klelia Vasiliou, who welcomed the Municipality of Geroskipou’s initiatives on environmental and recycling matters. The Commissioner for the Environment also visited the “Green Point” at Koloni and the “Efta Aigiorgides”.
