Our team after the cleanup
On Sunday, April 21, as part of our partnership with Garnier, we celebrated Earth Day by cleaning the beach at B Alipedo Alimos! Conducting both coastal and underwater cleanups, we showed care for our home planet.

All participants enthusiastically and efficiently collected 78,8 kg of debris from the shore, including plastic and glass bottles, cigarette filters and aluminum cans. Once again, we encountered a variety of unusual objects, such as shoes, a steering wheel, an umbrella stand, toys, and more.
