Ischia is waging war on littering, with fines and cameras capturing offenders. Ischia's mayor, Vincenzo Ferrandino, announced the initiative in recent days in a Facebook post. "Caught!" he began, adding: "In these hours, camouflaged cameras are taking numerous photos, capturing unsuspecting offenders disposing of their garbage, at times and in ways that violate current ordinances." In support of his statement, the mayor published several photos, blurring the faces of the people photographed. "It's incredible," the mayor added, "the ease with which people accustomed to complaining about poor urban hygiene or lack of decorum go about haphazardly disposing of their waste." Numerous complaints have been raised. The mayor himself provided the numbers of the operation: "In just a few days, more than 60 fines have been issued. It goes without saying that many of our fellow citizens are involved, sometimes even opinion makers on social media," the mayor concluded. Regarding the waste situation in Ischia, but also in Casoria, Green Party regional councilor Francesco Emilio Borrelli weighed in. "Proper waste disposal is a citizen's duty. It's the first step to avoid an emergency. In Casoria, the Environmental Police identified and fined twenty offenders, who were identified by analyzing the contents of the bags. The initiatives of the two municipalities are good; citizens should learn to respect the rules. The other mayors should do the same." "Preaching well but acting badly when it comes to waste," Borrelli added, "is common among many residents of our city, even in the downtown and hilly neighborhoods, not just in the suburbs. Therefore, initiatives that expose uncivilized people are welcome."
