Limassol Carnival: Celebration and Waste Management

The article focuses on the Limassol Carnival, highlighting both its positive aspects – the economic boost it provides to the city and businesses – and its negative aspects, primarily the huge amount of waste generated. Specifically, it mentions that 45 tons of waste were collected during last year's parade, consisting of confetti, plastic, aluminum, and other items. The author emphasizes the need for greater awareness among citizens and visitors so that the city does not turn into a landfill during the events. Additionally, it calls for stricter controls on the illegal use of materials and behaviors that are inconsistent with the spirit of the carnival. The Carnival can offer entertainment, but this should not imply lawlessness and illegality.
