Cleanliness, order, and caring for our environment and community show respect for ourselves and others. I believe true connection happens when we sincerely engage with our community. When different forces unite, real value is created \u2013 the feeling that we are together and no one is left aside,\u201d said \u0104\u017euolas Tubelis.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1000\" data-end=\"1616\">The clean-up was part of Rytas Vilnius\u2019 social campaign, <em data-start=\"1057\" data-end=\"1079\">Together Against All<\/em>, which aims to improve daily life, inclusivity, city cleanliness, and community strength. The club frequently engages in initiatives supporting children, various social groups, and animal welfare, visits schools, and contributes to environmental projects. Last year, Rytas organized a tree-planting campaign, making the Pilait\u0117 clean-up a natural continuation of the club\u2019s value-driven activities. Such initiatives also strengthen team spirit and foster mutual trust in the city, promoting a more sustainable and responsible Vilnius.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13681\" src=\"https:\/\/rytasvilnius.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/vilniaus-ryto-komanda-su-pilaitiskiais-tvarke-aplinka3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1618\" data-end=\"2161\">The event was organized with the support of Rytas\u2019 golden sponsor, real estate developer Homa Group, which completed the <em data-start=\"1739\" data-end=\"1757\">Gilu\u017eio Rivjeros<\/em> apartment complex by Gel\u016b\u017e\u0117 Lake and is currently developing a two-building project, <em data-start=\"1843\" data-end=\"1851\">Nendru<\/em>, nearby. According to Homa Group CEO Jurgita Kveselait\u0117, a strategic company goal is improving daily life quality in every residential project, which depends not only on architecture and materials but also on creating a pleasant and healthy environment, community engagement, and other less visible aspects.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2163\" data-end=\"2801\">\u201cLiving closely with nature encourages us to care more for it, take responsibility, and help it prepare for seasonal changes \u2013 this formed the basis of today\u2019s initiative. As usual, we found tires, furniture remnants, car parts, and other waste in the forests and by the lake. It\u2019s wonderful that local residents enthusiastically joined the effort \u2013 together, we collected a significant amount of waste. This shows that Pilait\u0117 residents truly care for their surroundings. When a team like Rytas leads by example, the message about responsibility to nature becomes especially inspiring for residents and young people,\u201d Kveselait\u0117 added.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13682\" src=\"https:\/\/rytasvilnius.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/vilniaus-ryto-komanda-su-pilaitiskiais-tvarke-aplinka4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Thursday\u2019s clean-up was not the first collaboration between Rytas Vilnius, Homa, and the city\u2019s communities.
