| Do not hesitate to ask us questions about the wastes you have found or to write us anything that seems useful for the Ocean Initiatives. Feel free, the best ideas never remain stowed in the drawers. | En tant que jeunes, nous avons ressenti beaucoup de peine en voyant une plage avec autant de déchets. Quand nous sommes arrivés en bord de plage, nous pensions que la plage était propre et qu'il n'y aurait pas tant de déchet à ramasser. Quelle tristesse de voir une plage aussi sale et de s'apercevoir que ce sont des Hommes qui font ça ! Grâce à cette journée, cela nous a donné une idée ! Nous allons soumettre à nos formateurs que chaque groupe entrant à l'Ecole de la 2ème Chance d'Arras participera à une journée nettoyage; qu'elle se passe à la mer mais aussi dans des parcs ou des villes ! Pour terminer, nous avons été surpris de ne trouver des poubelles que sur les trottoirs et non pas directement sur la plage. Nous pensons que cela serait une excellente chose d'en installer. A notre sens, ce serait une alternative pour limiter la propagation des déchets ! |
