What can I do?

Instead of throwing that gum wrapper or that cigarette onto the ground, walk to the nearest trash can and throw it in there. This way it is easier for the cleaning company to clean everything up!

Did you know that cigarettes are the main source of trash on the beach? So next time you light one up, think twice! Or at least dispose of your cigarette in the trash can!

Go out and help! There are a lot of initiatives where you can volunteer to pick up trash on the beach. They often even have free coffee! What else does a person need? Beach communities are pretty easy to join and you might even make new friends! To become a part of a beachcommunity you can click here to find out how!

Even if you rather not leave your couch, but you still care about the beach you can help. There are a lot of organisations like 'Het Groene Strand' that do a lot of good work. Donating money to them helps them a lot to keep it up and protect these areas!
