Congratulations Little Prince! As a result of all its hard work, the new city administration has chosen a Clean City as a main, central objective! This means that all Department Directors are now busy writing work plans on how to implement Clean City programming in their departments – from sanitation to city beautification, enforcement to education, welfare to culture, public buildings, and more. In addition, the Municipality has received an additional 52 million NIS to the Clean City budget, and Mayor Lion is addressing the target of a Clean City from a range of angles – not only garbage collection, but also public gardens, courtyards, enforcement, supervision, education and awareness-raising, improving infrastructure, improving procedures, and more.
Celebrating Clean Targets in Jerusalem
We had to celebrate that accomplishment. So on February 4, we rented a party room at the Inbal Hotel, with a rich variety of refreshments. Activists from the Arab, Haredi and ‘general’ Jewish sectors spoke about their experiences thus far, and their visions for the future. We also invited the Playback Theater, which gave a fantastic performance! Who knew trash could be so funny?
Here’s a taste of the performance (Hebrew):
Many thanks to the Rayne Foundation for its support of the Little Prince. And to the Jerusalem Foundation for its support for encouraging activism in Jerusalem.
