Divers clean the lake in English Garden

Tue 4th May, 2010

Over one hundred tonnes of waste accumulated over the course of a year in the English Garden lake. Currently divers are tasked with the job of cleaning the waste from the Kleinhesseloh lake.

The Kleinhesseloh lake in the English Garden is too shallow and too dirty to be the perfect place for diving. Yet still, on Monday in front of Lake House, divers went many times to the bottom of the lake to collect countless beer mugs, pieces of clothing and even bicycles from the water.

The waste collection from the bottom of the  English Garden lake was held as part of the "Earth Guest Day", in which employees from 17 hotels of the Accor Group took part.
