During the course of your Ocean Initiative, did you find and collect biocarriers?Non
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.Globalement, le site où a eu lieu la collecte était propre, notamment la petite plage de sable. Nous avons ratissé assez large pour trouver tous ces déchets/matériaux, essentiellement localisés dans certaines zones du site. Première fois que j'organisais une collecte au mois de Janvier. La conclusion est que même l'hiver, avec beaucoup moins de passage de personnes que l'été, nous collectons tout de même des déchets/matériaux. Au niveau de l'inventaire de collecte, je pense que ce serait bien d'ajouter une rubrique "paquet de cigarettes" (composé essentiellement de carton ainsi qu'un film plastique l'entourant) car à chaque collecte, j'en retrouve. Merci et à bientôt pour une nouvelle collecte !
