Beach CleanUp´s

We try to clean up at least once a month, in general the beach cleaning

takes place the first Sunday, for information please check FB-Page-Lanzarote Limpia

First we want to say THANK YOU to all the cleaners and helpers who fight for a clean beach and a sustainable future.  Every first Sunday of the month we keep on cleaning, as T.P.Pain says:"Hasta la limpieza siempre" (until its clean forever).

During the last years we cleaned many beaches, where and when COUP-Events.

It's a sad reality, but the beach stays dirty because the waves are bringing every day more debris to the shores of our beautiful planet.

There is no trash! The waste we find on the beach is a resource! In general about 80% of it is plastic, based on petrochemicals.

Loads of the stuff we find is recycable, some ideas and methods: Econyl, terracycle, Tapones solidario, and we are sure there is lot more to find!

Even the rest of the debris can be recycled! With modern techniques we can extract synthetical-bio-fuel out of green waste and plastic’s - which is even more efficient than conventional bio-fuel. Read about this on the homepage of the enterprise CPD SWISS.

The biggest challenge is how tho get the microplastic off the beach, some ideas:

• “fishing microplastics" with a broomer and a fishing net, works better in sand

• “Microplastics bath ” with a shovel and a tub, better in sand as well.

Get rid of microplastics in stone dominated areas is almost impossible and needs loads of patience!

However, if  you pick up plastics, remember it's a potentially toxic material, so please wear gloves.

We invite you to share information and solutions with us!

Let's move forward, together - strong - to a resource based economy.

Enjoy a sustainable living and of course, our COUP Movies.
