Eighty of the 290 inhabitants of Gorzegno today (25 May) at 9.30 will wear the orange t-shirt with the slogan “Every year more beautiful” and gloves and will take care of their town with that collective ritual that is now “Spazzamondo. Citizens for the environment”. The fourth edition of the collective waste collection promoted by the Crc Foundation in collaboration with the Provincial Coordination of Civil Protection, Anci Piemonte, Uncem Piemonte, Anpci and Cooperativa Erica will color 170 Municipalities throughout the Granda, but once again reiterates its meaning for the small towns which, partly thanks to the virtuous competition unleashed by the prizes up for grabs, partly due to their ability to build a series of collateral proposals around them, will take center stage again this year. In Rifreddo membership is over 50%, in Monterosso Grana 27%. Among the seven sisters, Fossano, with over 900 members, leads the ranking.
In the capital, among the various distribution points of the kits, the Fresia Gardens stand out, in recent months the subject of maintenance interventions in pure Spazzamondo spirit, and the Campagna Amica market in Piazza della Constitution, where thanks to Coldiretti the collective cleaning action will be preceded by a zero kilometer snack and followed by the delivery of a gift of your choice between strawberries, hazelnuts and honey. Piazza Prunotto in Alba, Piazza Arpino in Bra, the city park of Viale delle Alpi in Fossano, Piazza Martiri della Libertà in Mondovì, Piazza Garibaldi in Saluzzo and the town hall of Castellar are the distribution points of the kits in the main cities of Granda. There will be over fifteen thousand citizens who will paint the streets, squares and parks of their municipality orange; 35 comprehensive schools have registered on the website www.spazzamondo.it, whose students will be asked to join in the wake of their thousand colleagues from secondary schools who were protagonists of the preview of the initiative last Friday. Among the novelties of the 2024 edition are the increase in awards for schools and the four works of art on the theme of environmental sustainability which will be delivered to the largest company of the four trade associations – Coldiretti, Confartigianato, Confcommercio and Confindustria – involved in the organizational machine. —
