Last Saturday, October 24, an enthusiastic group of students from the Instituto Universitario de Tecnología Henry Pittier (Lechería) led by Professor Rafael Palma, organized together with Fundación La Tortuga, a cleanup day at Los Canales Beach in Lechería.

As an environmental and awareness activity, this activity helped to remove approximately 25 bags and 5 sacks of waste scattered on the beach and that shows the presence of people who continue with total irresponsibility, littering our natural sites.

From soda bottles, medicine packages, diapers to food leftovers, an endless amount of waste was collected by the students, who with great effort raked the entire east side of the beach.

La Tortuga Foundation appreciates the initiative of the young people and their teacher for the best environmental quality but also calls on all locals or foreign visitors to our beaches to have a little more awareness and deposit their waste in the containers that are located on the beach for that purpose.
