Progress report for
Proper Strand Lopers
Achievement at a glance
This concept works! Our organization keeps on growing in members and results in a strong arise of removal of waste that's been washed ashore.<br>
<br>We started in september 2016 with a facebookgroup where anyone can join and post pictures of their cleaning action. This way other members are encouraged to act the same way. We now have a little more than 3.000 members and the first year of our existence our volunteers accounted for the removal of approximally 41.000 liters of waste. Nowadays we have an average of 5 individual cleaning actions a day at our coast, and are close to a significant management of our beach litter problem.
<br>
<br>Another group with the same tools and goals as ours has been found in Malta with evenly great success. We now have a partnership.
<br>
<br>We therefor encourage that such groups should be founded in each country to see if they are sustainable.
