Before the next meeting in Braga we had an assignment to do. In the last meeting in Melilla we talked about the litter in the sea and on the beaches, and decided to make an experiment: We would crop an area of 5 m * 10 m on the beach and examinate the sand inside the borders. We would sort out all the trash we find and write the information in an application called Marnoba.
As you can imagine the task was not so easy to complete in the Finnish winter but the current winter has been low-snowy and we did find some sandy areas on the beach. The day we had chosen to do the task was stormy and rainy which made the work even more exiting. :)
We found some plastic, rests of the fireworks, imptregnated wood, clothes, cigarette ends and even bio waste.
During the summer we would definitively find more litter on the beach. It is sad to see all that trash. There are a lot of trash bins at Nallikari beach where we were doing our experiment, but some people just decide not to use them and leave the trash in the nature instead.
How can we stop littering on the beaches? Share your ideas in the comment field below!
