From the article that was published in the newspaper Alytaus Naujienos 2004-04-01
On the 20th of March in Alytus we had a great event to mark the Global Earth day. Vida Macerniene the Head of Environment Protection Division from Urban Economy Department in Alytus City Municipality offered the youth from PIPE to make some kind of event for the Earth's Day. Two PIPE'rs Ausra and Evelina were clever in contacting the municipality and helping to organize this extraordinary event. A lot of young people joined them because Alytus youth is very cooperative.
 

The celebration started from the Mayor of Alytus Vytautas Kirkliauskas speech. The Director of Urban Economy Department Ceslovas Merzvinskas talked about our town environment and how we should protect it.  In the square of the town company Dzutra presented a machine which picks up rubbish. Another company Ordo presented a car for street cleaning.

Alytus youth was very creative. They made a house from needless boxes and placed it in the middle of the square. Inside of this house there was a smaller wooden house in which some youngsters were sitting and singing, playing guitars and a flute. Other youngsters were acting like "garbage children". Most of their clothing was made from plastic sticks and useless clothes. They were making a big noise by playing the instruments from kitchen. Such rampage of the youth evoked very strong and different emotions for the people who came to see the celebration. Some of them were astonished and some of them were excited or nicely surprised. It was made live statues by the PIPE'rs. The youngsters were pretending dustmen and workers of the earth. This celebration of the Earth Day will be unforgettable because inspite the rain everybody in the square were having great time.
