LOVE Beachclean

Have you ever braved the rain and the strong west coast wind to save your nature?

Have you ever carried a garbage bag under your arm when you went to the beach to swim in the big waves?

Have you ever received a medal made from waste plastic?

A huge group of wonderful people did that on Wednesday 5 August, when we had a beach clean-up in collaboration with STRANDET and Race For Oceans.

Each year, approx. 8 million tons of plastic in the oceans and it's everything from plastic bottles and cans, straws and screw caps to fishing nets and ropes. At ELSK, it means a lot to us that we treat nature well.
When we see how much trash and plastic is lying on the beach, we want to do something about it. That is why it is very important to us to participate in a beach clean-up. We want to help inspire others to do the same and spend some of their time picking up litter and plastic when they go for a walk on the beach. Together we must make an effort and prevent it from ending up in the sea, so that we can look after and preserve nature.

We are very proud to see so many amazing people supporting our initiatives every time.
It was a pleasure to see the wide age group, from the smallest who love to splash in the puddles to the elderly who enjoy a walk along the water.

They came in rubber boots, they came in sandals and bare toes.

We all got an insight into Race For Oceans' activity up the coast and focus on the UN's World Goal 14 - "Life in the Sea", and how STRANDET works.

We will do it again on Saturday 19 September, and this day is "World Cleanup Day". Klitmøller is full of happy and fresh people who already participate in or watch the Cold Hawaii Games during the week. We are looking forward to getting together as a group and making a huge effort together with STRANDET.

STRANDET focuses on the global and in particular the local issue of plastic ending up in nature. They collect marine plastic along the west coast of Jutland and recycle it into new products, and communicate about the challenges surrounding plastic in nature. In doing so, they hope that even more people will help take care of the problem and ensure that plastic and other waste is handled correctly and does not destroy the beautiful nature around us.
