2.100. That's the amount of cigarette butts that a cleaning team from the Department of Services Javea Town Hall has retired this week from the recreational area of the Pinosol park. An exaggerated amount and a disconsolate image.
It must be borne in mind that all that mountain of cigarette butts have been collected in a nature area and where children frequent. Smoking is prohibited in green areas and inside children's areas, but it seems that this rule is not met in this area of Xàbia by its users.
Councilwoman Services, Kika Mata, published the images of the cleanup result in social networks and asked for citizenship. It should be remembered that this recreational area was already affected by the devastating fire of 2016, which, a butt was the cause.
