The City Council of Calpe and Ecovidrio, the non-profit organisation responsible for managing the recycling of glass containers in Spain, launched for the fourth consecutive year the "Recycle Glass for Women" campaign, an initiative aimed at mobilising citizens to recycle glass containers and thus contribute to solidarity and the fight against breast cancer.
The Calpe City Council Plenary has decided to amend, first of all, the Municipal Ordinance on the Coexistence of Citizens in Public Spaces in order to tighten the penalties for owners who do not remove the excrement of their pets from the sidewalks. The offence is classified as "serious" and punishable with a fine of 650 €.
In addition, people who walk the streets with their pet must also clean their pet's urine with water, otherwise the same penalty will be imposed. This should improve health on the streets.
and prevent the decay of urban premises.
Today October 10th is World Mental Health Day. For this reason the City Council has joined the campaign "Conect@ con la vida" of the World Federation of Mental Health in order to symbolize the importance of suicide prevention as well as the need for sufficient resources and support to enable proper care for people.

Calpe yesterday celebrated October, 9, the day of the Comunidad Valenciana, with the institutional awarding of the "Jaume Pastor i Fluixà" prize and the city's medals of honour, which each year honour the work of people or institutions that have made a significant contribution to the improvement of the city. The act began with a video in honour of the historian, professor and journalist Pastor i Fluixà, who dedicated his short life to the memory of Calpe and Les Marines.
