My 1st #cleanplanet action!

---

It is a pleasure for me to post this, my very first #cleanplanet post!

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post about @cleanplanet and how glad I was to meet their team at Steem Fest III. My intention was to keep spreading the word about this awesome project: * SUPPORT @CLEANPLANET *

CleanPlanet is a global protocol where “the proof of Human” is used to protect the environment on a world scale.

Clean Planet action in Drago Beach, Bocas del Toro:

On Sunday, December 2nd, @evecab, our lovely dog and myself decided to go to one of our favorite areas of Bocas, which is Bocas del Drago Beach!

As usual, most of the time we go there because you can have the beach all for yourself, the water is calm and perfect to swim. We like to have lunch there and let our dog run free, play and swim. This time, we decided to grab a couple of bags, our cameras and the enthusiasm to collect trash on the beach in order to bring this proof to the platform and support @cleanplanet initiative.

It is important to mention that, since @evecab and I are always together, and both wanted to do this, it was going to be hard to make two posts for @cleanplanet in the same place at the same time, the same day. So we came up with an idea to make it fair for us to post it:

• @evecab post her proof with a video, since she is hotter than I am, and I take care of the writing. You can check the video here: A @cleanplanet initiative - clean up around you!

• I clean one area of the beach, and she took care of the other side.

Proof of action:

The method I used was walking first along the coast for about 1 kilometer taking some pictures of the trash in the field, then in the way back collecting them.

Here are some of the pictures of the trash I saw:

When I was getting closer to where @evecab was, she took a picture of me:

Once I arrived to our hangout spot, I took ALL the trash collected out from the bag and organized them to take a better picture of everything.

In the picture, what do you think is the predominant material?

Plastic right? Correct! It is incredible the amount of plastic that we have around our lives. Ok, we have made good use of plastic, especially in hospitals for example but when people litter and have no sense of responsibility, then we have a problem.

I have noticed something interesting, we did find a lot of trash in the small area we covered, but from a big picture the entire beach looked very clean. One of the things that help to keep beaches around Bocas clean is the massive cleanups we organized sometimes. Here is an example of the last one we did organized by my Cero Basura Bocas Group: Bocas del Toro Suit Up for Clean-up!.

When we were done, we had to dispose the bags of trash collected in a bin or trash disposal. Unfortunately, from Drago area to where we live there is none, so I brought those back home and leave them next to my trash cans for the trash collectors:

Lastly, I cannot leave this post without mentioning our companion who was suppose to help me and @evecab do our sides of the beach cleanup. While we were cleaning, she was littering:

This reminds me, we did not bring gloves. For this actions I highly recommend you to bring at least a glove to collect the trash, sometimes you could find broken glass, and sometimes the smell of some things is not nice.
