IMPROVING LIVING CONDITIONS

Elblag City has decided to participate in Rio's Local Agenda 21 Programme of 1995. To follow-up with the process, Elblag started co-operation with Ronneby (Sweden) in 1994.

Since 29 June 1995, the city council is realising a Local Agenda 21 Programme, which is interrelated with the City's Development Strategy 1996-2010.

The city's sustainable development policy prioritizes growth by creating favourable conditions for citizens. Further, among other priorities one can find improving the environment state in the city and waste selection.

The Piaski Ecological School is devoted to raising environmental awareness

Simultaneously, a citizens' awareness campaign has started. Videos promoting selective collection of waste, a competition, a series of press releases and articles on waste management, leaflets, etc. are some examples of the efforts taken.

It is believed that integrated information, education and international ecological actions will contribute to improving living conditions.

Piaski Ecological School has an impact on environmental awareness of city inhabitants, offering a comprehensive programme for Elblàg pupils, and other Polish and international cities, too. Beautifully located in the landscape park in the vicinity of the Vistula Bay, the school educates in the entire range of environmental topics.
