Take the Black Sea Pledge
I pledge to do the following simple things to protect the
Black Sea environment:
1. Every time I go to the beach I will remove all my garbage
and at least one piece of litter that doesn’t belong
to me.
2. I will try to conserve water by:
- Repairing my toilet if it is running all the time
- Turning off the tap when I am brushing my teeth
- Showering for one minute less
- Not running the water all the time when I am washing the dishes.
3. I will not pour oil, paints, or chemicals down the drain
or toilet. I will ask my local council about the safest way
to dispose of these hazardous materials.
4. I will plant trees, bushes or flowers in common spaces
around my house or apartment block. I will talk with my neighbors
about how the plants will be looked after. Planting trees is
the best way to filter waste and runoff before it enters our
waterways.
5. I will take a shopping bag to the market or supermarket
and I will not accept unnecessary plastic bags. I will try
to buy in bulk and I will buy products with less packaging.
6. I will find out where my waste (garbage and sewage) goes
and how is it treated. If I am not happy about the current
situation I will write to my local mayor and share this letter
with at least two other people.
