The city known to have the most fountains in the world, while also employing bacteria to preserve them, is the city of Rome in Italy.

The city of Rome has an estimated 2000 water fountains. During the times of ancient Rome, these fountains played a crucial role in the sustainability of the city, given that they were the only source of public potable water available. Private drinking water was a luxury reserved for the wealthy.

Currently, some scientists in Rome are employing the use of bacteria to aid in preserving these mounuments. They use enzymes to draw out the bacteria deep inside some marble blocks, then allow it to calcify on the surface, thus adding structural strength to the stone. They are also using specialized strains of bacteria to eat away at grease and grime on some of the fountains.

What is the collective effort to keep our community clean?

atroni [7]

As the global population increases rapidly, societies around the world need to come up with more efficient solutions to controlling waste. Excess litter and refuse pose a serious threat to the environment. Illegal dumping and littering are two of the major contributors to pollution in our rivers, oceans, public spaces and countryside. Keeping our environment clean is a collective responsibility that we all share.

Every citizen has a role to play in protecting the environment from pollution. We need to eradicate litter and avoid irresponsible waste disposal practices immediately. There is no excuse for plastic waste in the environment – it should always be recycled and thrown away in a responsible manner. Make a point of finding out more about what can and can’t be recycled, and start separating at home. Plastic is a valuable resource that is too important to simply dump and never use again.

We need to reduce, reuse and recycle our waste wherever possible. This will keep litter out of the environment. The South African Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries is concerned about the amount of pollution in our rivers, dams and oceans. Every South African needs to take responsibility for their waste and disposal habits.
