The day at the beach will be rich with events aimed at creating awareness and pride not only in the citizens who live the coast every day, but also in anyone who decides to spend time not only in that beach but also in the neighboring beaches and throughout the area. To sensitize locals and tourists on the importance of live in an unpolluted environment it is fundamental and also helps us to understand that it is not only us human beings who need it, but also animals and plant species need clean and balanced habitats.

Beached waste and pollution that destroys the environment
It is vital to understand that despite the disappearance of eco-mafia, our ribs continue to get dirty and get polluted. Through their monitoring carried out in recent years it is now clear that the culprits are commercial activities and partly activities in the countryside, while for the most part it is the people who create pollution. household items abandoned on the coasts and in the sea.
The beached waste they are destroying the environment and the cleaning work of the volunteers, and not only, is certainly fundamental, but there is a need for greater awareness in people so that the situation improves definitively.
Vincent Charmed, founder of the Domitia Association, published a post provocative on his Facebook profile explaining that during his walks he found hundreds of litter on the beaches. Just to give an example of the objects found in only 6 months:
- 57 plush
- 49 dolls
- 212 toys
- 43 lighters
- 27 pacifiers
- 32 bullets from hunting rifles
- 3 flags of Italy
- 1 flag of Germany (or maybe it's Belgium)
- 1 secret diary
- 1 banknote of 10 €
- 4 plastic ducks
- 3 adult rubber toys
In short, we must definitely intervene.
