67.8 kilos of waste of about 850 meters of river shore were collected for the final destination of the sea

The Ecomar and Coca-Cola Foundation have chosen the Tormes River, as it passes through the Puente del Duque, to clean the coast in 2017 inland waters. Thus, the fourth cleaning of the season has been completed and this time along with the children of the Summer Camp Respira Ocio and Free Time, who spend this summer beginning in the abulian town of Hoyos del Espino. The 42 children, accompanied by the volunteers Ecomar have been dedicated to cleaning 850 meters on both sides of the river, of which they have managed to remove 67.8 kilos of waste. A new cleaning of solidarity, with the intention of educating by transferring the culture of recycling and respect for the environment, to children between 7 and 14 years old and that will have its impact on the donation by Coca- Cola of cans of products to the Food Bank, to be distributed among the most disadvantaged. It is a question of making them understand that everything that they do not recycle or deposit in the containers will end up at sea with the consequent damage to our planet.

In the cleaning projects, Theresa Zabell, president of the Ecomar Foundation, told children about the importance of environmental care and recycling. "The sea is a source of life and that is why we have to take care of it and look after it so that it does not end and continue to give us the resources to eat. You will wonder why we are cleaning up this wonderful natural site, and it is very easy to answer. Although we are more than 600 kilometres from the sea, everything we do not collect here, sooner or later it will stop to the sea and it will get dirty... the rain and the wind will take the waste to the rivers and they will deposit it in the sea... the sea, which is part of the wise nature, will return it with the same to the land and our marine ecosystem will resist until a moment has come to die... we have only one body and one planet, so we will not have the possibility to change it as we do with the clothes, the ships, the bikes, so we have to take care of them so that we will not end up with the more of the waste and we will be more of the children... we will have to make more of the same time we are more of the same time we will be more of the children... we will be more of the time we will be in the time we will be in the same time we will be in the health..
