COCA-COLA PROJECT FROM SOURCE  TO THE SEA TODAY ENGAGED PARTICIPANTS IN CLEANING ACTIONS IN THE CITY OF BIHAć AND THE UNA NATIONAL PARK

Action for cleaning packaging and other recyclable waste within the Coca-Cola project From source  to the sea included the section along the road strip towards Kulen Vakuf of the Una National Park, the City Park and the center of Bihać and engaged about a hundred participants. 

The action, with the support of numerous partner institutions and organizations, and with the coordination of CA Ruke and the local community - the City of Bihać and the responsible Ministry for Environmental Protection and Communal Activities of the Una-Sana Canton Government, included separate collection of waste through the park, around the playground and along the riverbed of Una, as well as from the road belt.

One of the key components of the project From source  to the sea is educational, which through work with action participants and through a campaign with media partners promotes the importance of responsible waste disposal, as well as the separation of waste into plastic packaging, paper and cans - which is recyclable waste, separated from other waste that cannot be reused.

After today's action in Bihać, the project continues with actions in Tuzla on October 8, Tomislavgrad on October 15, and ends with an action in Sarajevo on October 29.
