The Salesian Youth Movement volunteer group of the Salesians Sarrià school in Barcelona, Spain participated on March 16, in a waste collection campaign in a natural environment near a stream in a town called Castelldefells, near Barcelona.
The campaign “1m2 against litter*” is an annual collaborative meeting to collect and record abandoned litter in natural environments. It brings together citizens, companies, organizations and institutions in a nationwide meeting, in order to remove from nature those wastes that should not have ended up in it. And therefore, to raise public awareness of the magnitude of this problem.
This campaign is part of a project, “Libera, united against litter”, created by the NGO SEO/BirdLife, in alliance with Ecoembes, the non-profit environmental organization that promotes the circular economy through the recycling of packaging to free nature from litter.
