This morning at the port of Zakynthos just 10 volunteers filled an amount of 96 bags, all holding about one hundred litres of rubbish.
The representatives of the “Green Activist Group . “Υ λ ή ε σ σ α and the volunteer team ZaCLEANthos during their action today did well cleaning up OUR mess.
As representative Dimitris Kladis wrote on socila media:-
10 people … 96 bags of 100L!
After our 5th action in the area, with over 350 bags of garbage … it could be a joke, but no … It is a tragedy !!!
It is the team with the largest environmental footprint (locally) in all of Greece, with 66 actions in 22 months, with over 3,800 plastic bags … + but 30% bulky.
(= over 600,000L garbage!)
They are the volunteers from all over Europe, who love the island more than all of us !!!
Stressing the point, that if ten people did this, just imagine if we all took part in cleaning our home. Surprisingly enough though, their photo was taken before some rusty old boats ready to sink in our harbour, thus also making a statement all on its own!!!
Once again GO VOLUNTEERS!!!
