RE: Blog: We protect what we love 🤟🌎❤️

Thank you for bringing up this topic. My wife and I often try to bring back a bag full of trash from the beach when we go out. It’s crazy how much junk you find everywhere

Sort:  

Wow you guys are doing great things! Where are those beaches you're going to?
Here in the Netherlands we have a competition thankfully for the most clean beach. So the beaches do actually a lot to keep it clean. After a day with lots of tourists the beach-clubs and lifeguards work together by cleaning the beach and prepare it for the next day. Actually we should have that for our forests as well. 🤔

But it's crazy what kind of trash people throw everywhere. I even found clothes last saturday but mostly cigarettes and cans...

I'm in Australia. We also find all sort of things. Clothes, beach towels, hats, kid toys, I've even found a rusty bicycle one night... Sometimes people just forget them or drop them in the water and they get transported to another beach.
