This year we decided to mark the World Environment Day by organizing a cleanup along the lagoon in Elmas, a small town near Cagliari. We were invited to collaborate by the local organization Fierogatto which volunteers take care of the stray cats living in the area. We were pleased to see several local organizations and schools join the forces with us, among which the local scout team, Pro Loco Elmas, fishermen and the residents of the town that also hosts the biggest Sardinian airport. In two hours we collected around half a tonne of waste – including plastic, glass and aluminium, car tyres ..read more

The pandemic made it both complicated and risky to organise clean-up. However, taking all the necessary safety measures and limiting the clean-ups to the local areas, we managed to organise several beach cleanup events in 2021, the second year of the covid emergency. One of such events was the Terra Mala clean-up. Terra Mala is one of the locations along the shore in the Quartu Sant’Elena municipality, which boasts 26 kilometres of the Sardinian coast. On the hot morning of May 6, 2021 around 30 volunteers cleaned part of this coast, collecting 20 bags of waste. Apart from plastic waste, other ..read more

Taking all the necessary safety measures, wearing masks, gloves and keeping social distance, we managed to run several beach clean-up events along the coast of Quartu Sant’Elena and Cagliari. On two ocasions, on the 14 and 28 March, a small group of volunteers cleaned parts of the Poetto beach in Quartu Sant’Elena. The result – let the images speak ..read more

With the Crime Scene Investigation lesson and a beach clean-up that followed, Clean Coast Sardinia has launched its new project – raising awareness about the marine pollution among children who spend their holidays at summer camps in Sardinia.

That was our first such meeting and we hope we will be able to continue this project, co ..read more
