In civil society, self-government as a form of social organization occupies one of the central positions. The condition for the realization of the development mission of local government is the participation of citizens and their co-responsibility for the shape of local social life. Recently, civic budgeting has become an increasingly popular form of participation, resulting in the direct involvement of residents in the process of deciding on the selection of the scope of public tasks within the designated pool of funds and assuming part of the responsibility.

Kurpiowszczyzna is one of the most interesting ethnographic regions, with a center of original, well-preserved and carefully cultivated Kurpie folk culture. The image of the Kurpie village is the result of centuries of human activity. Over the centuries there have been transformations of the landscape, based on the adaptation of the natural environment to cultivate the land and the gradual establishment of human settlements, which have given the modern image.

Researchers are sounding the alarm that the state of the environment is deteriorating year by year. A survey by the KANTAR institute for the Federation of Polish Food Banks shows that 34% of Poles admit that they have happened to throw away food. This is quite a high percentage. Among the most frequently thrown away products, the surveyed Poles indicate, in order, bread, cold cuts, vegetables, fruits and dairy products. The most common reason for wasting food is missing the expiration date.

Val d’Europe is a new city created in the Paris region as a result of a public-private partnership between the French State and Euro Disney Associées in 1987. The city, envisioned with a target population of 60,000, currently has a population of 35,000, and is located as the last in a 40-kilometer-long band of the linear city of Marne-la-Vallée, a satellite of Paris. The city was founded as a base for Europe’s largest tourist complex, Euro Disney, welcoming 15,000,000 visitors a year, but has gradually become a self-sufficient, multifunctional organization.
