The Day of Environmental Protection was marked today in Zabljak with the great action of arranging the town and surroundings which was attended by 200 pupils and teachers of elementary and high school, employees in the local government, utility company, local TO, Forestry Directorate, "Zabljak Tourist Association", Nordic Skiing Club, Firefighters and citizens of Zabljak.
"It was enough work, but thanks to the extensive actions outlined in the previous two years within this action, significantly smaller." The collected waste was packed in bags and transported to the city landfill. The machinery operated if necessary," said the action coordinator Nikola Dubljevic.
He adds that the participants of the action were divided into groups and, following the plan, acted in certain areas. The "Zabljak Tourist Association", which dominated through civic activism to defend the Black Lake environment from the planned investments, spontaneously acted in that area.
One worked from the center of the town to the sports hall, clearing the forest area on that route, and another from the center towards the Black Lake. Touristic paths were cleaned, grass mowed, low bushes and branches cut. Rotted and dried trees, as well as several smaller wild landfills, were removed," said Dubljevic, appealing to citizens and tourists to take care of the environment and not allow this tourist spot to be attributed a negative image with garbage dumps and other mess.
