    On April 7th, I spent 7 hours in the local river bed (Riera de la Sant Jaume), walking the dog, and picking up some garbadge ... but when we reached to the bridge of the B40, a recently opened motorway that goes over the valley, I found that there was a lot of garbadge from the construction of the bridge, which the company has not bothered to recover - including big bags, rests of scaffolding, metal, styrofoam ... but as well beer cans and lots of plastics probably from the workers. I collected everything - put it into one of the big bags - together way more than 100 pieces that I can max enter in the tool. Then I informed the local city hall, however, they said that they wil linform the company who leads the construction works to have it picked up .. .until today not yet happened. See pictures.

      Amazinggg!! 9.5 hours is a great commitment. Asking the local city to have it picked up is also an excellent move 👏

    Freshwater + Oceans Reduce Pollutants in Cleaning
    What did you learn about ingredients in our cleaning products and how they impact water and biodiversity? Did you try making your own cleaning products? If so, how did it go?

    I have not tried to make my own cleaning products yet, as I read it after going to the supermarket. But I've made a list and I commit to at least try to do 2 different products.
