The idea was to support a good cause and promote sustainability and environmental protection as part of World Environment Day. This was implemented by the participants starting from the university and cleaning the roadside from trash during a hike. The main coordinator was the international department of the STUV, which thanks the Klimaplan Landshut for the great cooperation. It was a successful cooperation that once again showed the participants how important it is to regularly take care of one's own surroundings and environment.
According to those who took part, the event made them reflect on the things that are often forgotten for most of us! "After a few hours in the company of fellow students* who all have the same motivation to work towards a cleaner environment, I feel satisfied and more mindful of how we treat our environment. It is important that we come together as a community and take action to improve our environment. It was definitely an experience I enjoyed and I would love to participate again, for example, said Ann Joinna Joseph, coordinator and member of STUV's International Department.
"The trash walk was a new, unusual and beautiful experience. I've never done anything for the environment before, so I'm glad I was able to contribute," another participant shared at the end of the thoroughly strenuous hike. A fellow student of hers let it be known that he "hopes people will become more aware of their actions and know that everything they throw into nature stays there for a very long time, causing great harm to everyone." He addressed in particular those smokers who do not dispose of their cigarette butts properly.
Once again, the figures show just how necessary the campaign seems to have been. On the way from Landshut University of Applied Sciences to the old barracks and back alone, the group collected six garbage bags full of garbage, which they picked up along the way.
