Community Cleanup in Cartago, Colombia: A Success Story
Cartago Community Rallies for Neighborhood Cleanup A recent cleanup initiative in Cartago, Colombia's Palatino neighborhood, has brought residents and local organizations together to improve their community. The project, a direct response to a request made during Mayor Juan David Piedrahita's podcast, saw the participation of EMCartago, Clean Atmosphere, and the Subsecretariat of the Environment. The cleanup involved tree trimming, removing construction debris, and clearing away accumulated waste. "I'm completely satisfied," stated one resident, "because the community's concerns, voiced on the mayor's podcast, were actually addressed." The collaborative effort signifies a positive step toward community engagement and environmental improvement in Cartago.
