Summary:
In parts of Morocco that used to be rat-infested and an eye-sore have now been transformed into a "clean and environmentally aware city." This was started in 1978 by the mayor Mohamed Benaissa. He did this to encourage civic pride in the town. This benefited the country by bringing in foreign tourists. They have also gotten donations from Gulf country to build a library, hospital, clinic, school or central centre.

  5. Eventhough it did take a long time to fix, it was a great thing to do.
