Also, the whole weekend will be the setting for an awareness campaign on the need to keep our beaches clean, with the installation of giant nutshells and cigarette butts, to make people more aware of the problems.
For the Environment Councillor, Montse García, awareness about recycling waste at the beach and safety measures, with cardiopulmonary resuscitation workshop and the experience of being a lifeguard for a day will make our town’s beaches friendlier and safer places for all users. “It is important to be aware from an early age that the beach is a place for everyone, and that we always have to look after the environment and take precautions. This is why the lifeguards of Proactiva and the volunteers of the Civil Protection Service of Eivissa will be carrying out these activities aimed at all users”.
The councillor has thanked all the associations, entities and businesses who have collaborated in this environmental initiative for their involvement.
