Beach Clean

Every time our team visits Andros, The Bahamas, we aim to clean a beach, and 99% of the time, we’re successful! During each beach clean our team walk the beach in one direction first to enjoy and appreciate the view, to then collect trash on the return leg. This practice allows us to assess the discarded litter and in turn helps us plan and target items on the walk back. Fillings bags with trash is regrettably far too easy, and this technique avoids not only damaging our fragile (compostable) bags during two walks, but also allows us to be efficient and specific with trash collection, especially with limited bag space. We offer sponsored beach cleans and this clean was supported by innovative and eco-friendly brand, Earth Breeze! Thank you Earth Breeze for supporting our work, and for your kind encouragement.

For this clean our team focused on plastics, including bottles, discarded fishing gear, cosmetic containers and bags. Every team member has their own personal preferences, often they include: plastic bottle tops, netting and balloons. It can be overwhelming viewing what appears to be an endless amount of trash on the ground, however we remove as much as we can, as often as we can! Our motto is ‘every item removed, is one less’. Of course the more we remove the better, however every piece of trash collected, is a win for us and our oceans.
