Last January some elements of Semente – Associação de Cooperação para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável (Association for Cooperation for Sustainable Development) promoted waste collection activities from several beaches in northern Portugal. With the rains and floods, a lot of rubbish washed up on the shore, mainly plastics and metals.

However, there is still a lot of work to be done on our beaches. We are all important in solving this problem.

Last week, some members of our association hosted a workshop at Anadia School, as part of an Erasmus+ project entitled TEAMSS – Together Europe Achieves More in School Success.
