Rede Globo, associated with CEBDS, and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), SOS Mata Atlântica, Greenpeace and Conservation International carried out the beach cleanup campaign “Less is More”. During the cleanup of the sands, 70 kilos of recyclable materials and trash were collected, including plastic bottles, cigarette butts, disposable cups and cardboard packaging.
The activity, which brought together around 200 people, raises awareness of the importance of taking care of the beaches. A sculpture in the shape of a fish was displayed on the beach throughout the day, receiving donations of plastic bottle caps. The material was sent to the Rodando com Tampinhas project, which will convert the bottle caps into wheelchairs for donation.
