Detailed description (English): Kids, teens, teachers and families grab their bicycles to get to a riverside to cleanup all the waste and trash and deliver it, properly separated, to be recycled.
The first one, on September 20th 2023 was a 3 in 1 action:
. European Mobility Week - promoting the bicycle as means of transportation, safer streets, active mobility
. International Beach Clean Up Day - which takes place at the same time. This action is also registered on that platform
. The Trash Arts Awards - A contest created in 2023 by The Trash Traveler, in Portugal, that received applications from around the globe. This first time our 'Residual Bicyclist' got to the Portuguese top 10 finalists
Now we will do more throughout the rest of the year, just because. And this 3 in 1 will happen again on the next EMWs.
