The Municipality of Lucca together with Rotary Club of Lucca he threw an initiative to raise awareness on the issues ofenvironment and urban decor in the summer months of large tourist influx: it is a comic translated into multiple languages to raise awareness among tourists and citizens about rubbish collection.

A campaign that will also be taken up by Lucca Create for the school education project planned by Sistema Ambiente for the next school year.
“Improving the liveability of the area through constant collaboration with citizens, business owners and visitors is the driving force that pushed us with enthusiasm to welcome the awareness campaign proposed by Rotary Club Lucca – claims Sandra Bianchi, president of Sistema Ambiente– an initiative which, through a comic drawn by David Bigotti, aims to inform tourists in a simple way on the correct disposal of waste both in the historic center and in the suburbs”.
“We hope that this tool, pleasant and easy to consult, will contribute to ensuring that the behavior of visitors and tourists who increasingly arrive in Lucca is in keeping with respect for the beauty of the city. they say the president of Rotary Lucca Giuseppe Lunardini and member Marco Martinelli –. Unfortunately this doesn’t always happen. In addition to this aspect, distribution in schools will have the great effect of increasing the awareness of the younger generations, who are already attentive to the environment and their city. For this we thank the president of Sistema Ambiente Sandra Bianchi, the technical manager Caterina Susini and the municipal administration who offered us this opportunity to make our contribution”.
