In Greece and on coasts all over the world, the All For Blue association is organising cleanups that involve children and young people.
The goal is to get the community to take part in removing trash from seas and oceans in order to recycle what is possible and also teach children about the effects of this plastic on marine animals so that they become not only more aware but more active in the whole process.Nearly 300 million tonnes of plastic waste is generated worldwide each year, a third of which ends up in our oceans.
According to a report by Newcastle University , each week, all of us ingest on average five grammes of plastic, or the equivalent weight of a credit card. It's a totally unacceptable finding for Greece's Olympic champion in underwater target shooting, Katerina Topuzoglo.Heading up her All For Blue association, Topuzoglo is cleaning up the world's beaches and seas.
From Greece to the Caribbean and from South Africa to Thailand, the members of All For Blue have been working tirelessly"To Make our Oceans Clean Again". In addition to gathering up plastic, Topuzoglo is raising awareness about the environment through a series of interventions that empower young citizens to clean up and make a difference. – AFP Relaxnews
