class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><br><strong>Beach Cleanup at Foz do Lizandro - November 3, 2024<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On November 3, 2024, we had the pleasure of organizing a new beach cleanup at Foz do Lizandro, a beautiful spot unfortunately too often cluttered with waste. This initiative, carried out in collaboration with ALP, <strong>ALP<\/strong>brought together a team of <strong>30 to 40 volunteers,<\/strong>all driven by the desire to help preserve our coastal environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The operation lasted about an <strong>hour and a half.<\/strong>We enjoyed a peaceful atmosphere, surrounded by many surfers and families having a great time on the beach. This ideal setting highlighted the importance of educating future generations about preserving our planet and respecting our oceans. Wildsuits is happy and proud to participate in these actions that combine ecological commitment and awareness, uniting nature lovers and surf enthusiasts for a common goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Detailed Collection Report<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to everyone\u2019s efforts, we managed to collect a significant amount of waste, broken down as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>28 kg of plastic and metal:<\/strong> These materials, frequently found among marine debris, pose a direct threat to local wildlife. As a comparison, during our previous cleanup in August, we collected 20 kg of plastic and metal, which demonstrates the importance of carrying out these actions regularly to reduce their accumulation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>8 kg of mixed waste:<\/strong> A mix of small items and litter left on the beach. Comparatively, last June we collected 5 kg, indicating a concerning increase. This reminds us how essential it is to raise awareness about non-recyclable waste.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>4 kg of glass:<\/strong> Though recyclable, abandoned glass can be hazardous for beachgoers and animals. The number is similar to our previous cleanup, yet remains worrisome, particularly for the safety of families and children visiting this beach.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In total, <strong>40 kg<\/strong> of waste was removed from the beach in an hour and a half. This impressive result sadly underscores the importance of ongoing efforts to combat pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why These Actions Are Essential<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" translation-block\">Beyond simply picking up litter, our presence on the beach mainly aims to raise public awareness of the devastating effects of marine pollution. Each person who participates in these actions not only contributes to making the beach cleaner but also spreads awareness to those around them. We believe that every effort counts and that by joining forces, we can work towards a healthier, more natural environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marine debris, especially plastic, poses a serious threat to coastal ecosystems. Here are some key statistics to better understand the impact of this pollution and the need to act:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>8 million tons of plastic<\/strong> enter the oceans every year, equivalent to one garbage truck every minute.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>500 years:<\/strong> This is the average time it takes for a plastic bottle to decompose in the ocean, releasing microplastics that contaminate the marine environment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>70% of marine debris sinks<\/strong> and is thus never collected, making beach cleanups essential to recover the remaining 30% that washes up on shores.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Every second, 200 kg of plastic<\/strong> is dumped into the oceans, highlighting the urgency to reduce plastic usage and clean up our beaches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" translation-block\">Though occasional, these cleanup actions contribute to a broader effort to protect marine ecosystems and collective awareness. Our mission is to help everyone understand that a cleaner environment is possible if we each recognize the importance of our daily actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Word on the Future<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This beach cleanup won\u2019t be the last! We plan to repeat this experience in the coming months and hope to welcome even more motivated participants. Stay tuned to find out the date of our next beach cleanup, and feel free to join us to continue making a difference.

Each year, millions of tons of plastic waste are dumped into our oceans, endangering marine wildlife and coastal ecosystems. These plastics persist for centuries, fragmenting into microplastics that contaminate the food chain, ultimately reaching us. In the face of this omnipresent threat, beach cleanups are vital to raise awareness and encourage a reduction in plastic production and consumption.<\/p>\n<h2><b>A Saturday Like No Other<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>This cleanup was not an ordinary event. On the beach, 122 kg of waste were collected, the majority of which was plastic, illustrating the extent of pollution that persists despite ongoing cleanup efforts by local authorities. The atmosphere was filled with camaraderie and collective commitment, proving that the community can play a transformative role in the fight against environmental pollution.<\/p>\n<h3><b>The Day in Detail: Togetherness and Awareness<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>For\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wildsuits.eu\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wildsuits<\/a>accustomed to organizing beach cleanups, each event remains unique thanks to the enthusiasm and participation of local communities. The moments spent together on the beach go beyond picking up trash; they also serve as a catalyst to raise awareness about the importance of caring for our coastline. The day was marked by a spirit of solidarity, shared laughter, and a common determination to make a difference.<\/p>\n<h1><b>A Lasting Impact Beyond the Beach <\/b><\/h1>\n<p>Cleanup efforts, though critical, are only the first step toward deeper change. It is crucial to continue our commitment through education and awareness of the dangers of plastic pollution. By promoting sustainable alternatives and more responsible waste management practices, we can begin to address the problem at its source. Actions like these should not be seen as isolated solutions but as components of a comprehensive strategy for a cleaner and greener future.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Beach Clean Up in Foz do Lizandro, Ericeira.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aubS6G8acSg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><b>Conclusion and Thanks<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Wildsuits expresses its gratitude to all participants, especially to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/l.uisa1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Luisa<\/a> for her crucial role in documenting and organizing the event.
