Feel free, the best ideas never remain stowed in the drawers. | J'avais participé et organisé des collectes à cet endroit, il y a 12 ans et plus. J'ai constaté une grande évolution : beaucoup moins de déchets. Les périodes mars/mai expliquent peut-être cela ? Les ramassages IO sur Le Porge semblent plus nombreux aussi. Est-ce que d'autres lieux proches mériteraient l'organisation de ramassage (Carcans ) ? En revanche, la motivation des scolaires pour ces activités reste intacte ! Est-ce que les enseignants peuvent préparer en amont avec la Surfrider Foundation leur sortie (lieu, pédagogie,...) ? |
