shivani to stowe of the venice city council greatly appreciate the gondoliers help in cleaning up the waterways. we may be fine kottaras it's funny really venice is a city without cars where cars aren't allowed to drive. but we seem to have the most discarded car tires in the world. we're told me i'm old bloke. this is cleanup operation is sending a powerful signal to locals and tourists alike it wants everyone to get involved. but cleaning the canals can be tricky. as some objects have sharp edges or are extremely heavy. some of the city's waterways are up to 5 meters deep plenty of room to dump refuse. but the volunteers also know that sometimes objects like air conditioning units laundry carts or sinks fall into the canals from transport ships by mistake. that said many locals have also had a less a fair attitude to refuse disposal. than 3 years folks acted irresponsibly exactly including the nation's before they just open the window and toss things into the water luckily it's no longer that way but. the gondoliers came up with the idea of collecting trash while on a diving holiday
