Save your beach for the Environmental Day!

I think the initiative is cool. i know of lot many beaches in my part of the world that need saving…but not sure if they can be enlisted…will check the site and see…thanks for the info.

Hi all,

Have you never heard about the project “Save the beach”, sponsored by Corona?

I give you just this short information about the project because i think you can be really interested. We are trying to make
more and more people interested in the project and we would like them to take
part actively. This is the reason why I’m asking your support through your
forum.

The principal target of this initiative is to make people aware of waste problem affecting beaches, the preservation of the
environment and to rehabilitate every year at least one of these beaches in
Europe.

To achieve this target, the project is set up as follows: from the day before World Environment Day (5th of June) users of Corona Save the Beach site (sorry i can’t post link) can enlist a beach they want to save in 2010.

The only thing they need to do is to take a picture or make a video that shows the dangerous state of the place and upload it on the
page. On the 23rd of August everyone will be invited to vote for the beach
Corona Beer will save in 2010.

In 2009 the Project was really successful: thousand of Europeans, worried about the environment and their beaches, visited the website
Corona Save the Beach and put the spotlight on endangered beaches with
pictures and videos and participated actively in the vote for the selection of
the beach to save. The beach selected was Capocotta (Lazio), only 20km away
from where the Hotel Corona “Save The Beach” will be built.

Please let me know what you think and i hope to hear from you soon,

Best,

Green Love

PS. I’m also on twitter if you are interested: @saveyourbeach

This is a great idea. It would be wonderful for others to re create this locally. I know of a similar program off the coast of California.

I’ve heard a little bit about this but I don’t recall from what source. The beaches and coastlines definitely need protecting.
