SGI members in
Germany (SGI-D) have been participating in an initiative led
by the City Recycling Center in Hamburg in which young people
help clean up the city. Through involvement in this activity,
SGI-D Hamburg members became aware of the situation in the
Schanzenpark, a park where many drug addicts spend their time.
Litter in the park includes dangerous items such as used
needles which pose a threat to the many children who play
there.
In order to
protect the children from getting hurt or infected, the local
SGI-D members, in cooperation with the City Recycling Center,
have instituted a new initiative concentrated on cleaning this
particular area. Two hundred and fifty SGI-D Hamburg members
have taken part in this activity that has resulted in the park
being intensively cleaned four times per year since 1999.
