Since 2018 the Green Office is facilitating clean up events at the beaches in Vlissingen and in and around "De Binnenhaven", inspired by Monique Jankowski’s efforts with her organization “Doe Mee, Verlos de Zee!”. The Green Office invites everyone to join in the efforts towards a clean and healthy environment at and around the University buildings. The Green Office works together with the Municipality of Vlissingen, which is providing materials like trash pickers, bags, and arranges the disposal of the collected trash. To help Rijkwaterstaat to gain an insight into the plastic litter distribution on the coasts of the East and Western Scheldt, integrated monitoring events are carried out in conjunction with the Clean-ups. This is your chance to participate in scientific research, contribute to a better understanding of litter distribution and future efforts to keep the local beaches clean.
Student journalism Janine Vink from Utrecht University found out about our initiative and wrote an article (in Dutch) about the cleanups, which gives a great impression.
The outcome of our first research, testing different monitoring methods, can be read in this report :USING CITIZEN SCIENCE IN MONITORING PLASTIC DEBRIS ON BEACHES
Clean-ups are organized almost on a weekly basis. A new schedule for February 2020 will be posted on this webpage soon. To always be up to date about the weekly clean-ups, visit our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/hzgreenoffice/
You don’t need to bring anything to participate but appropriate clothing. The clean-ups, together with other Green Office activities, are a chance to gain some extra credits for students of the HZ (e.g. linked to HZ Personality/ fcc's) while connecting to new people, participate in an outdoor activity and making a step towards a clean and circular economy.
The whole initiative is based on volunteers, so every volunteer is welcome to join our efforts!
We are excited to welcome you to our clean-ups!
Upcoming cleanups:
7 September (visit minister of education, culture & art: Ingrid van Engelshoven): cleanup, start 12h 't Smoske
8 September: monitoring, start 10h 't Smoske
