In cleaning operations of the banks of the Lake Varese to Biandronnothe volunteers made a surprising discovery: a message in a bottle. This message, written by a six-year-old boy named Gianluca, aroused amazement and joy among the volunteers of the Civil Protection and the Municipality. This unusual finding contrasted with the sad reality of the rudeness of those who continue to throw waste on the shores of the lake, confirming the ongoing need for clean-up interventions.
During the cleanup operation, volunteers collected a large amount of waste, including microplastics, plastic and glass bottles, buoys and plastic chairs. This material, probably brought ashore by the bad weather of the previous weeks, highlights the effects of bad weather and wind on the shores of the lake. Despite the challenges encountered, the mayor of Biandronno, Massimo Porotti, underlined the determination to continue the cleaning efforts in collaboration with the Civil Protection and the Zanetti brothers, defined as the true custodians of the lake.
The sweetest moment of the operation was the discovery of the message in a bottle, which aroused emotion and hope. In the message, the child expresses his desire to find a treasure and become a pirate when he grows up. This moment made tangible the connection between cleaning the lake and young people’s desire for adventure and hope, highlighting the importance of preserving our environment for future generations.
