A couple of years ago special colourful
containers for plastic, glass and paper waste
have appeared in the sleeping districts, just as
in the hottest spots in the town centre. After
some active advertising, more people started
using them in the right way. A little while ago
containers for textile, electronics and used
batteries appeared in the most popular
supermarkets.

newspapers, brochures, web and outside stands,

A couple of decades ago an ecological club
"Zvejone" was founded in Klaipeda. People of

and bicycle tours following their objectives and
promote their ideas all around the town.

While all the media is paying so much attention
to ecological problems, business is also getting
involved. One of the biggest supermarket chains
"Iki" were the first to promote the use of
ecological bags instead of plastic ones and
actively participate in other ecological
activities. For instance, they use ecological
transport, store containers for used batteries
and publish a monthly newspaper about
environmental problems and their solutions.
