Apparizione<\/strong>, on the hills of Genoa, made with the recycled\u00a0<strong>sports shoes of the Genoese people<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Always attentive to waste separation and the subjects of sustainability and recycling, the people of Genoa continue to faithfully donate their old sports shoes by dropping them into the containers that AMIU has installed at 26 collection points around the city.<\/p>\n<p>The recycled material has been used to make the safety surfacing for the\u00a0<strong>\u201cBetty\u2019s Garden\u201d <\/strong>created on the grounds of the\u00a0<strong>Colombo pre-school at Via Apparizione 16<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Over\u00a0<strong>2,500 pairs of used sports shoes<\/strong>\u00a0were used to make the surfacing of the new <strong>35 m\u00b2 <\/strong>playground, an educational message teaching children the value of separate waste collection.<\/p>\n<p>Attending the inauguration\u00a0were\u00a0<strong>Tiziana Merlino<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Director of AMIU\u00a0Genoa,<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>the Councillor for<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Civic Services, Patrizia Arrighetti of the Municipality of Levante<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Nicolas Meletiou.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cThis Garden\u201d, explained Tiziana Merlino, \u201chas allowed us to recover an outdoor green space for the children of Via Apparizione.\u00a0It is a real, tangible example of what can be achieved through separate waste collection and quality recycling.\u00a0We will now focus on developing our collection points\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Besides being a symbol of the recycling of materials, in fact, the creation of the new Garden is also a useful way to redevelop part of an area of the city and a way to thank the residents for their efforts in reducing waste.\u00a0The Garden also became home to\u00a0<strong>an old recycling bin <\/strong>that was\u00a0salvaged\u00a0from the street and transformed into a playground element for children to play in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled that our collaboration with AMIU has produced a new \u201cBetty\u2019s Garden\u201d in the city, says Nicolas Meletiou. \u201cThis confirms that recycling is a value to the people of Genoa, that they are well aware of the importance of separate\u00a0waste\u00a0collection and that from the recycling cycle waste can be transformed into a resource and returned to the community in a new form \u2013 a beautiful playground for children.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to the
