Atenistas in Action clean dirty Athens beach

Posted by keeptalkinggreece in environment, Society

Athens famous citizen’s initiative did it again! 300 Atenistas armed with 400 huge litter bags rushed to clean one of the many dirty beaches at Athens coast: the beach  between the Stadium for Peace and Friendship (SEF) and the Saronic bay sea in Faliron.

 

The Neo Faliro  beach like many across the kilometers long at Athens/Attica coast was turned into a garbage dump: thousands of plastic bottles and bottles caps but also things like syringes, clothes and anything a human mind can imagine of and throw away or just leave behind. A big portion of the trash is , of course, been washed out by the sea.

.

Many bottles and big plastic items could be given for recycling.
