Idea of this action was to create public pressure through creative communication about issues of illegal waste disposing and to force authorities to act against this problem, to clean this places and to disable further illegal waste disposal on non-adequate places in the nature. Surroundings of Skopje, Tetovo. Gostivar, Kichevo, Ohrid, Struga, were targeted by this urban action. Besides putting signs directly on the garbage sites we also sent photography’s from the sites to in charge institutions like Skopje City inspectorate for environment and to Ministry of environment and spatial planning of republic North Macedonia.
