An island paradise that many Lipari people no longer know how to love:
- polluting it with waste on the streets and in nature and
- on paths
- throwing wet waste in the unsorted waste instead of recycling it, feeding insects, mice and seagulls.
- making life difficult and sometimes dangerous for tourists who want to visit it:
- with paths not cleared by brambles and Cisto thorn
- with no sidewalks or impassable sidewalks (narrow or with cars parked on them) for those who love walking or jogging.
- with roads full of potholes for those who want to take a ride on a motorbike or bicycle.
- with great difficulty parking on the streets of the towns for those coming from other towns and wanting to stop to visit a shop or restaurant.
- with poor traffic flow due to islanders blocking traffic by parking badly
But I am happy that several citizens of Lipari via mms (Magazzino di Mutuo Soccorso) have adopted the beaches of Marina Lunga, Canneto and others, keeping them clean and recovering plastic.
I hope this will also happen in the hinterland which offers opportunities for spectacular trekking with for example the Greens or Nesos .
I have adopted the Santa Lucia Valley by taking away plastic and putting it in plastic bins. I also keep order around bins near my house.
Watch this video shot in Kigali, Rwanda. I bet you won’t see any garbage on the streets and sidewalks. A friend couldn’t believe it and thought it was fake or shot in a posh area.
Our tourists must be able to show in their countries uncensored films of a well-kept and clean island.
Tourists who come to Lipari must be able to film a beautiful Lipari with order around the bins, clean sidewalks and a well-kept nature free of waste. A paradise of Lipari cared for by its citizens.
