Participants gathering for the briefing at Alam Wellness

On September 6, 2026, we held a clean-up at Alam Wellness, starting where every one of these mornings starts: sacks, gloves, and a short briefing.

Kitting Everyone Out

Before anyone picks up a single piece of waste, someone has to hand out the equipment and explain how the sorting works. It is the least photogenic part of a clean-up and the part that decides whether the collected waste can actually be separated afterwards.

Away From the Coast

Not every clean-up belongs on a beach. Waste that accumulates inland reaches the sea eventually, carried by drains and rivers, so clearing it here means it never becomes a coastal problem in the first place.
