CLEAN UP THE MED
28-29-30 May 2010
XVII Edition

LEGAMBIENTE is pleased to invite you to join the Clean Up the Med 2010 Campaign to once again reinforce our common commitment to safeguard the Mediterranean environment.

2009 campaign has been a great success and we have hit a record of over 400 participating bodies that mobilised more than 100,000 people. The 2010 edition sees the renewed collaboration between Legambiente and the Mediterranean schools and Associations in organising and coordinating the effort against the pressing threat of marine and coastal pollution. [Clean Up the Med is twinned with Clean Up the World and is organised under the auspices of the UNEP /MAP].

Next May they return to beaches and coast locations to clean them up from litter of any sort which plagues both urban coasts and marine reserves alike. The rubbish that accumulates on the seabed, on beaches and on most coastlines around the Mediterranean is generated by wrong human activities and the main aim of our Campaign is to raise awareness and educate as well as physically remove waste pollution.

The volvo / unep Adventure launched for 2011
Friday, October 16 2009 @ 06:25 AM PDT

The winners of the Volvo Adventure, the world wide search undertaken with UNEP to find the most innovative, imaginative and practical projects devised by young people to solve environmental problems, has been announced. This year the first prize has gone to the HUNAB team from the Yucatan coast of Mexico for their imaginative solution to local water problems. Using only 900 litres of water, each young person has taken responsibility for a small aquaculture pond, providing a sustainable harvest and a nursery for repopulating the local waterways once they have been cleaned. This ingenious project has allowed the children to earn extra money to support their ongoing schooling and helped to spread the aquaculture ponds to other young people and improve their environment.
