Description
Around 40 volunteers clean rubbish on Guacalillo Beach, on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. "For a few years now, there has been a lot of plastic waste. There are tyres, there are toys, there are single-use plastics, straws, lighters, sandals, shoe soles and so on," says Olman Mora, a representative of the Ministry of Environment and participant of the recycling day. Montserrat Courrau, who also participated, says that Costa Rica sells itself as a "green country," but in reality, she thinks "there is a lack of awareness and environmental education."
