Clean Streets in Observatory
A community service initiative, by Werner.
After my recent visit to Tokyo and Kyoto, I had a brainwave that might benefit us all. This came to me after reflecting on the visit and how I could use my experience to contribute to our society back home.
In Japan there seems to be no stealing. Laptop computers are everywhere, even standing unattended on the pavements or at the stations where you can use them. Bicycles are mostly unlocked, everywhere. About the thieves around here…I don’t have the answer yet.
Another experience I had, and this one I feel can work here, is clean streets. There’s really nothing lying around on the streets of those big cities with its millions of people. There are no rubbish bins either - can you believe it - and the older people in that society are employed to clean the recycling bins that do exist.
HERE IS MY GOAL: A phone-call can get you a person within 24hours to clean up the street in front of your house. Your black bin provides the storage for the rubbish. When you notice other streets or corners that can do with some cleaning (excluding the central business district), let us know and we can work together to change the dirty side of Obs. To ensure a smooth start to the service we will allow not more that one call per week.
WE NEED: A retired, strong and fit person, living in Observatory. You can supplement your pension by an extra R1000 per month for working 2 hours a day. I will provide the equipment to ensure a professional service.
ARE YOU THE RIGHT PERSON FOR THIS JOB, OR DO YOU KNOW SOMEBODY THAT WOULD LOVE TO DO IT?
DO YOU FEEL WE CAN ALL BENEFIT?

a great idea...
why not give this job to someone who is young, efficient, quick - lives on the streets - rather than someone who already has a pension?
Thank you Alex for your thoughts...
Werner feels that those fast moving street guys are not as reliable and committed as a person with more life experience and with a stable home. The idea is also to give support to those that made the world, before we were here...
