“Clean Up Georgia-Phase III” Project August, 2017 Awareness Raising Meetings


EAWM continues awareness raising meetings in the regions of Georgia in the
framework of the “Clean Up Georgia – Phase III” Project. The aim of the
meetings is to inform the municipalities on the hazardous waste, in
particular, chlorine/chemicals, on the territory of Georgia and its negative
impact on human health and the environment.



In August 2017, the meetings took place in Sagarejo, Lagodekhi (Kakheti
region), Kharagauli (Imereti region) municipalities and Division for
Environment and Natural Resources of Adjara Autonomous Republic.



Project coordinators delivered a presentation on “Pollution of the
environment by Hazardous Waste (Chlorine) and its Negative Impact on Human
Health and Environment” and discussed the threats caused by chlorine (on the
territory of Georgia), utilization methods, security measures and issues
related to HW management problems, the role of the government, prevention,
etc.



Project coordinators instructed participants on the safety response measures
to be addressed to avoid similar cases. In addition, participants discussed
the negative impact of expired chemicals on human health existing in school
laboratories.



Representatives from Gamgeoba (Administrative Body of the Municipalities)
and subordinate administrative units of above-mentioned municipalities as
well as reps from the Division for Environment and Natural Resources of
Adjara Autonomous Republic attended the meeting.



Project coordinators distributed EAWM flyers and Emergency Response
Communication Plan among the participants of the meetings. Meetings raised
interest among participants, who expressed their readiness to cooperate with
the project.



The project “Clean Up Georgia-Phase III” is implemented by a Consortium of
NGOs “Ecological Awareness and Waste Management”, Georgian Society of Nature
Explorers “Orchis” and “Greens Movement of Georgia/Friends of the
Earth -Georgia” with the financial support of the Swedish Government.
