Clean streets and rivers for Rome: restoring Harmony Beach
A neighborhood-led restoration of Harmony Beach needs $1,650 for saplings and equipment.
🇮🇹 Rome, Lazio, Italy1,031 views
Harmony Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 67 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 162 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the municipal water board, including native species selected by a local botanist.
The area floods more each year, and fish have returned for the first time in a decade after our first cleanup. Restoring it will protect homes and bring back shade.
All the labor is volunteered. We just need materials.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $1,650 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $390
• Native saplings and stakes: $700
• Waste removal and skip hire: $560

Stay strong, Domenico. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Karachi.
best of luck, Domenico. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
is there anything that isn't money that would help Domenico?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about tools and protective gear, advice is welcome too. I'll keep the page updated.
Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
Thinking of you, Domenico. Great idea, hope you get there. Greetings from Coyoacán.
Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Ribeirão Preto.
best of luck, Domenico. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Rome.
Thinking of you and your family, Domenico. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Zapopan this morning. Thinking of Rome.
