How cleaning our waters can be fun – with GreenKayak

We’ve all seen it before: trash polluting our canals and rivers.
Unfortunately, it’s not a new phenomenon and each year tons of
waste are eventually carried out to sea. Because most waste does
not naturally decompose, these enormous amounts collect in our
oceans and endanger animals and people nearby. In the end it comes
down to us to not only be more conscious of how we dispose of our
trash but also to collect waste from our waters when we can. But
can picking up trash be fun? The answer is yes! In this episode,
Janine talks to Tobias Weber-Andersen, co-founder of GreenKayak,
about how you can easily do something beneficial for the
environment while getting a good time out of it. Based in
Copenhagen, the non-governmental organization aims to clear canals
in various cities of plastic and other trash by offering free
kayaking trips to those who are eager to contribute to cleaner
waters.
