Introduction
As we described on our page So that the municipal is not only for the citizens, the best for convincing the unconvinced are good examples.
That's why we've prepared for you List of regions of our beautiful country and their district towns. If we found it, we added examples showing that it is possible.
If you help to push for change, or if this has already happened, We would be happy to add the name of your village/town to our Hall of Fame..
We just need you to send us a link to an article with photographs describing this change. Preferably, this would be on your municipality's, region's, media's, or a society/organisation's website. We would like it to be a completed change and for there to be a report published somewhere about it. That is precisely what The best – example and message – IT IS POSSIBLE!
Just write to kvetoucilouka@cmelaciplus.cs. Please write in the subject line: „Blooming Meadow – Name of Region – Name of District – Name of Village or Town Where the Change Was Successful“.
Thank you for helping citizens, nature, and yourselves!
