European Year of Volunteering 2011

The European Commission has selected the official logo and slogan for the European Year of Volunteering 2011.

The official logo will take Image No.463 (see below) as a basis and the slogan will be 'Volunteer! Make a difference'. Both will be graphically/linguistically adapted before dissemination to a wider public in relation to the promotion of the Year.

The winners will be invited to the official Media Launch of the European Year 2011 in Brussels at the beginning of December 2010.

We would like to thank you all for taking part in this competition and for your enthusiasm - keep up the volunteer spirit and help to make the European Year of Volunteering 2011 a success! [31 March 2010]. Winning Slogan: 'Volunteer! Make a difference.

Pentru a sprijini "importanta acordata de Romania protejarii naturii si luptei impotriva poluarii de orice fel" supunem atentiei dumneavoastra urmatoarele exemple:

- lacurile de acumulare formate din PET-uri

- pajistile si poienitele ornate multicolor de oamenii muncii de la orase si sate in fiecare weekend cu soare (in general) si la ocazii festive, gen Paste, 1 Mai etc. (in special)

- aleile din parcuri, frumos acoperite de covorase din coji de seminte

- culmile semete ale muntilor patriei, devenite si mai semete prin taierea "la ras" a padurilor

- raurile cristaline de munte, acoperite cu un strat protector de rumegus

- Rosia Montana si eforturile statului de a impune cianurarea ca metoda de lupta impotriva poluarii

- mastodontul ridicat langa Catedrala Sf. Iosif, o modalitate de a pune in valoare catedrala (in special in cazul unui cutremur)

- lupta permanenta a autoritatilor locale cu poluarea reprezentata de prezenta ultimelor parcuri si spatii verzi, rezolvarea acestor grave deficiente prin acordarea de autorizatii in vederea defrisarii, betonarii, manelizarii;
- lipsa cosurilor de gunoi pe strazile oraselor sau a tomberoanelor in cartierele locuite sau in curtea institutiilor publice; scoli spitale etc...
