Great action, @felander!
Our motto was: always leave the beach with more then you arrived (where garbage was concerned of course)
That's totally cool for local people. However, you can't ask a tourist to clean up the beach on his vacation :-)
Actually it's mandatory for authorities (Ayuntamiento) to keep these places clean. However, they prefer to sit on their fat functionary asses, counting their money while the whole island goes down the tube.
We've got a highly increasing rate in tourists every year, but nobody is willing to invest anything of the huge amounts of money into the island itself. It's a shame!
I've to be careful here because I'm not a local. They hate it when foreigners try to give them tips on how to improve their doings...
how about these... I saw them a lot in portugal on the at the entrance to the beacheshttps://www.alibaba.com/showroom/plastic-ashtray.html
the ones shaped like ice cream cones...
and they were put in something like this
why not put toghether an action here on steemit to raise the funds to order some with the steemit logo on there and you guys build some signs like that there and put those up...
we can see if we need to have those shipped to some other people out there that live near other beaches and want to help??
good for the environment and good for steemit publicity...
Nice idea, @felander! I'll talk to a local surf school this week regarding some activities. If you wanna install something at the beach, you always need permitions here as you might know from your time in the past :-) Maybe the school can help since the're much better connected with authorities than I am.
Again, I love the idea! That's the right direction :-)
Have a great Monday!
