The Hague Athletes Will Manually Clean the Beach
The Municipality of the Hague Will Now Clean The Groene Strand (Green Beach) in Scheveningen Manually Instead of With Machines. They do this together with coastal gym. Participants Exercise and Clean the Beach at the Same Time.
Under the Guidance of a Trainer and Groene Strand Guide, Athletes Move Across The Beach with a Bucket and Pliers. Meanwhile, They do Various Sports Exercises. This method of cleaning is more Environmentally Friendly Than Going over the Beach with a Machine, Says the Municipality. A Spokesperson for the North Sea Foundation Tells NU.nl that it is Certainly More Accurate. “A lot of waste breaks down so much that the Machine’s filters no longer pick it up. Cigarette butt filters, for example, are too small.”
If the Beach is Cleaned with a Machine, Shells or Seaweed are also occasionally removed, While They Should Remain. “You plow a few centimeters into the sand, and that Disrupts the Natural Beach Soil,” Says the Spokesperson.
The North Sea Foundation Hopes That More and More Beaches Will Become Smoke-Free At The National Level So That Waste Such As Pods No Longer Needs To Be Cleaned Up At All. But Until then, The Hague Athletes are lending a hand.
