Almer\u00eda Red Cross has held the 1st World Environment Day Provincial Meeting, which took place in Moj\u00e1car, and had the participation of 150 people, from the technical team and volunteers from the entire general population of the province, and the collaboration of Moj\u00e1car Council.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The day started with a route going from the Macenas Tower to the Moj\u00e1car Red Cross local assembly, a five-kilometre route along which the participants collected the rubbish which they found along the way.
\nThey were divided into eight groups, each one led by a Red Cross official, and checked every corner of the beaches and coastline.
\nAlthough the beaches of Moj\u00e1car were found to be perfectly clean thanks to the work of Moj\u00e1car Council, which runs cleaning machines over them daily, and the many rubbish bins, the volunteers collected a large amount of \u201cmicroplastics\u201d, which escape the routine cleaning efforts and which represent a true problem for the environment.
\n\tMicroplastics are small pieces of plastic which pollute the environment and which are created by the degradation of larger pieces of plastic in the environment and which can even be ingested by humans.
\n\tAnother one of the problems found on this first World Environment Day Provincial Meeting is the numerous cigarette butts, which are also very polluting and which remain in nature for many years before disappearing.
\n\tThe route not only served for collecting waste, but also had as a purpose raising awareness among bathers so that they are careful not to leave any kind of waste on the sand, especially small bits, as well as making them aware of the major negative effect on nature.
\n\tFor this campaign, volunteers and members of Moj\u00e1car Red Cross gave out beach ashtrays to all the beach users they came across along the way.
\n\tAccording to statements made by the President of the Spanish Red Cross Moj\u00e1car Assembly, Concepci\u00f3n Rivero Puche, for this association, and as part of its strategic plan, the environment is one of the most important points that they want to deal with throughout the year and giving a major boost in the sphere of education, at the same time as having a more active presence in all activities that promote respect and awareness to create a sustainable system.
\n\t Once at the Moj\u00e1car Red Cross headquarters, they had a day of team building and associative participation, attended by Moj\u00e1car Mayor Rosa Mar\u00eda Cano, and the Local Council Environment Councillor, Emmanuel Ag\u00fcero.
\n\tThe Moj\u00e1car Mayor thanked the Red Cross and the Moj\u00e1car Assembly on having chosen the locality for this first initiative and experience, and highlighted the great work of this association, which is always \u201con the front line\u201d in the face of all needs, whatever they are.
\n\tThe teambuilding day ended with the tasting of a giant paella for all the participants, which was provided by the Local Council.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
