?? In Estonia I help organise the local version of World Cleanup Day<\/strong>. Thus, I was excited to learn how one of our objectives was to think of tasks and events related to sustainability. During our first week at O C\u00e1davo, Baleira, we wrote down an idea of a clean-up. Firstly, we were given the task to evaluate the condition on the camino<\/strong>. Though we did manage to find trash (mostly tissues and small plastic), it was in great shape. But, the biggest concern was the town centre<\/strong>. It was not necessary to search for rubbish, it was in plain sight. Plastic wrappers and bottles, cardboard, glass and tiny pieces of it, and cigarette butts: thousands of them, scattered around pavements.<\/p>\n

\"\"

During our clean-up, we collected cigarette butts to used chickpea glasses.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

It was clear that finding areas for a clean-up was not going be difficult. We designed a poster (both in English and Spanish) hoping some locals or even pilgrims would be willing to join in. We knew there was a slim chance, yet… \u00a0Isabel came<\/strong>. Isabel is a lovely lady in her best years, from Madrid, but now living in O C\u00e1davo. For love, I guess. She has a bad back, so she came prepared with a stick to help pick up trash. According to her, there is no town cleaning service. Another local said something similar, when she saw us picking up trash. One even felt ashamed that foreigners came to Spain to do this. We did not mind of course and were happy to help.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Here’s a photo of us with Isabel after the clean-up. A man at the bar bought us drinks and thanked us for the event.<\/p><\/div>\n

The 6 of us picked up rubbish for almost 2 hours<\/strong>. We managed to clean-up maybe 5%<\/strong> of all the trash. So… it makes sense to do it again, many times. Hopefully, next time we can get more people involved.<\/p>\n

I’m also thinking about ways on how to educate people on cigarettes butts and their negative impact on nature. Many people consider them biodegradable, but in reality, the filter inside does not dissolve. It’s actually made of tiny pieces of plastic. We discussed some ideas in the team and hope to make a creative, but educational bin for them.<\/p>\n

?? En Estonia, ayudo a organizar la versi\u00f3n local del D\u00eda Mundial de la Limpieza. Por lo tanto, me emocion\u00f3 saber c\u00f3mo uno de nuestros objetivos era pensar en tareas y eventos relacionados con la sostenibilidad. Durante nuestra primera semana en O C\u00e1davo, Baleira, escribimos una idea de limpieza. En primer lugar, se nos dio la tarea de evaluar el estado del camino. Aunque logramos encontrar basura (principalmente pa\u00f1uelos de papel y pl\u00e1stico peque\u00f1o), estaba en buen estado. Pero, la mayor preocupaci\u00f3n era el centro de la ciudad. No era necesario buscar basura, estaba a la vista. Envoltorios y botellas de pl\u00e1stico, cart\u00f3n, vidrio y sus pedacitos, y colillas: miles de ellos, esparcidos por las aceras.<\/p>\n

Estaba claro que encontrar \u00e1reas para una limpieza no iba a ser dif\u00edcil. Dise\u00f1amos un cartel (tanto en ingl\u00e9s como en espa\u00f1ol) con la esperanza de que algunos lugare\u00f1os o incluso peregrinos estuvieran dispuestos a unirse. Sab\u00edamos que hab\u00eda una peque\u00f1a posibilidad, sin embargo… Vino Isabel. Isabel es una se\u00f1ora encantadora en sus mejores a\u00f1os, de Madrid, pero que ahora vive en O C\u00e1davo. Por amor, supongo. Tiene problemas de espalda, as\u00ed que vino preparada con un palo para ayudar a recoger la basura. Seg\u00fan ella, no hay servicio de limpieza del pueblo. Otro local dijo algo similar, cuando nos vio recogiendo basura. Uno hasta se avergonzaba de que vinieran extranjeros a Espa\u00f1a a hacer esto. Por supuesto, no nos import\u00f3 y estuvimos felices de ayudar.<\/p>\n

Los 6 recogimos basura durante casi 2 horas. Logramos limpiar quiz\u00e1s el 5% de toda la basura. Entonces\u2026 tiene sentido hacerlo de nuevo, muchas veces. Con suerte, la pr\u00f3xima vez podremos involucrar a m\u00e1s personas.<\/p>\n

Tambi\u00e9n estoy pensando en formas de educar a las personas sobre las colillas de cigarrillos y su impacto negativo en la naturaleza. Mucha gente los considera biodegradables, pero en realidad, el filtro interior no se disuelve. En realidad est\u00e1 hecho de peque\u00f1as piezas de pl\u00e1stico. Discutimos algunas ideas en el equipo y esperamos hacer un contenedor creativo pero educativo para ellos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
