Prime Minister Andrius Kubilius has sent in to take part in an environment cleanup campaign “Let’s do it 2009”. Prime Minister wrote a letter to the state institutions urging them to join the campaign.

“Year by year warmer weather and approaching spring manifest the level of our sense of ecology and urge us to focus on environment cleanup. The Government supports the international environment cleanup initiative “Let’s do it 2009”, which takes place in Lithuania as well. The aim of the campaign is not only to collect the maximum amount of garbage, to clean forests, parks, and other public spaces, but also to foster the community spirit, which tends to be forgotten nowadays”, the letter says.

The Prime Minister invites county government representatives, county governor administrations, and other institutions to join in the cleanup campaign, support the initiative and help the organisers of the “Let’s do it 2009”.

“All environmentally-conscious people are invited to come together on 18 April and join the cleanup operation organised across the country. Joint community work is an old Lithuanian tradition which deserves to be revived and cherished. Let’s do it!“ – encourages Prime Minister Kubilius.
