CLEANING DAY FOR THE WORLD CLEANUP DAY ON THE BEACHES OF CAMPO DE GIBRALTAR
The Gran Sur shopping center in La Línea de la Concepción shows its solidarity with its environment by supporting the beach cleanup that took place last September 17th in La Línea de la Concepción .
Gran Sur wants to be part of one of the most important environmental movements of today : the World Cleanup Day . A day in which volunteers from more than 190 countries around the world join forces to clean up the planet .
The shopping centre wants to add its grain of sand to the cause . This initiative is carried out in collaboration with Alcaidesa Marina , the Diving Association of Campo de Gibraltar , KCG Kite Campo de Gibraltar paddle surf division Campo de Gibraltar , the Delegation of Environment and Fisheries and the Delegation of Beaches of the City Council of the municipality .
The total waste collected both on the beach and on the seabed was 7,000 cigarette butts and 125 kilograms of garbage in La Línea de la Concepción and 260 in Algeciras .
In addition , this year we had the collaboration of the associations ASANSULL ( Association Pro-People with Special Socio-Educational Needs and / or Dependents of Campo de Gibraltar ) and the Multiple Sclerosis Association of Campo de Gibraltar . One of the priorities was to involve all members of society in the initiatives of the mall , always with the principles of inclusiveness and solidarity for flag .
It was a real pleasure to have the presence and participation of all these entities and associations and volunteers to continue working together with them in the same direction : the protection of our planet .
A free commemorative T-shirt , bags , gloves and supplies for the cleaning tasks were provided to the more than 150 volunteers . As a novelty the initiative was extended to Algeciras where the components of the KCG Kite Group Campo de Gibraltar Algeciras , were responsible for cleaning coves and other inaccessible areas of its area of influence , more specifically in the Getares Beach , Punta San Garcia and Playa El Chinarral .
