Act! with Surfrider - Waste collection

General information

We can organize cleanup events throughout France and Europe, thanks to our network of more than 100 Surfrider animators.

3 good reasons to organize a clean walk with Act!

1. To protect the environment directly on the ground, especially the Ocean.

2. To unite team spirit outside your premises by participating in a solidarity and friendly event.

3. To raise awareness about plastic pollution and get your staff involved in a participative science process.

Put on your gloves and sneakers, and off you go !

2:00 pm: Surfrider presentation, safety instructions, and equipment distribution.
