The HZ Green Office regularly organises cleanups. Currently, we're cleaning up De Binnenhaven Vlissingen every other week, as part of a research HZ Green Office is doing for the municipality; the info about what type of waste we find and how much feeds into a national benchmark. This information is used to set policies to prevent waste from the source.
Also, on a regular basis we organise beach cleanups or plogging events.
On Saturdaymorning 19 September we are organising a cleaning & monitoring on 5 locations during the national cleanup day that is organised all around the Netherlands. Want to join us in 19 Sep? contact Lorenzo.somai@hz.nl

The fact that plastics are useful is uncontested – it is proven by the fact that plastics are everywhere! Unfortunately, a lot of it is created for one time use, which is only a problem because plastic is not very bio-degradable – like, at all. Or is it? Most of us simply don’t know…
…which is why we have organized this workshop for you on the 9th of April. It will combine a clean-up and a monitoring session with a lecture on plastics by Lorenzo Somai (a graduating Aqua EcoTechnology student)!
This is the planned schedule for that day (9th of April):
10:30-11:30 CleanUp
11:45-12:15 Lecture on Plastic
12:15-13:00 Lunch Break
13:00-14:30 Monitoring
Sign up for individual or all sessions in this sign up sheet https://bit.ly/3dF7N2d (sign in with your HZ account when accessing). Due to current regulations, this event has a maximum capacity of 30 people.
With this event we hope to contribute to quality education, (SDG 4), sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11) responsible consumption and production (SDG 12) climate action (SDG 13).
We hope to see you there and help us free the planet of our trash! +
A huge amount of plastic waste ends up in water and on land. The HZ Green Office organises clean-ups every week across several locations, such as the beach, the harbour and along the canal. Feel free to join! +
Before the Climate Alarm starts, we will start drawing circles with chalk on the ground of the Market Square in Middelburg to mark where each person has to stand (to make it Corona-proof!). If you want to spend some time away from the screen, outside and give yourself some play time, JOIN US!
On 14/03/2021 at 14:00h, people will take the streets to demand more climate action at the Middelburg Market Square. Before the Climate Alarm starts, we will start drawing circles with chalk on the ground of the Market Square in Middelburg to mark where each person has to stand to make it Corona-proof! This takes place at 11:00h. This action is carried out locally and is nationally supported by various organizations including FNV, Woonbond, Greenpeace, Ofxam, Milieudefensie, Fridays for Future and XR. A local coalition of organizations and citizens that support climate-just policy is also being set up in Middelburg. +

Upcoming Friday afternoon, just before Autumn break, a clothes swap is organised (HZ Middelburg, room GW218, 12-16h). The event is collaboratively organised by students from both International Business and Global Project and Change Management. During the swap, the film Citarum River will be shown. Citarum is world's most polluted river, due to the emissions of the textile companies that are producing "our clothes": clothes being sold here in the Netherlands by brands we all know. In addition to swapping clothes, you can also repair or refurbish clothes. A collection point where you can donate clothes has been set up at both HZ Vlissingen and Middelburg, downstairs. It would be great if you go through your wardrobe and donate clothes you don't longer need. All leftovers will be donated to Kledingbank Zeeland. Also much appreciated if you share this post amongst students and colleagues! +
