Cleanplanet City Walk – A Little Late

It seems like weeks now since we left Krakow and I had meant to post my Cleanplanet Citywalk article last week or earlier but somehow didn’t get around to it.

In fact, the photographs I took had ended up in my ARCHIVE folder and were bound to never see the light of day.

I may as well post them though and string my thoughts on the Sunday morning trash collecting event.

Many people had left by this time, and I would estimate around 40 people convened outside the Qubus Hotel at 11am. It was a last chance to talk and contact people, something I had been woeful at so far and today would not be much different.

We were given plastic bags that we had to write our Steemit names on. I smudged mine quite badly; @bingbabe did much better and has much better writing than me.

There were rumours floating around that you could earn STEEM depending on the amount of crap collected. This seems to have not have happened, but what the hell. It doesn’t really matter.

We walked up one side of the river next to some bars. The amount of cigarette butts was quite staggering. It seems everyone and his dog smokes here. I would say 80% of my trash was made up of these.

Besides this, the city is not exactly filled to the brim with junk to collect. At times, I found myself heading for something only to find another Steemian beat me to it. I guess it was the promise of STEEM to be earned.

@yann0975 was leading this event and handing out more bags when the original one was full. We crossed the river and headed back on the other side. There was even less trash on this side, which was right by the river.

The whole event lasted I would say less than an hour but it seemed to fly by. I have never picked up trash before but the spirit I felt from everyone was great.

We were all upbeat and feeling good about ourselves having done our little bit for the city of Krakow.

These photographs of the event are well publicised already. I say that as a general comment as.., well mine are not as they are mine!
