This guy in Pisa, Italy, has planted 4 trees in a public space and by speaking to nearby people he agreed with some of them to provide water during summer time. Moreover he repaired a public drinking fountain that the administration closed (to avoid repairing), also to help provide water needed for nearby plants.

    I’ve done offensive graffiti on dumped rubbish to encourage its collection. Worked a treat.

    Love these kinds of direct action projects! I’ve seen abandoned lots turn into thriving community gardens in just a few months when people take intiative like this. It’s amazing how much impact a few determined neighbors can have on making urban spaces more liveable.
