Geh in die Natur und sammele Müll

There is so much plastic floating in our oceans that sea creatures get caught in it and die miserably. But also in our immediate surroundings, in our cities, in our mountains and in our forests and rivers there is garbage, a lot of garbage.

Animals eat this waste and die in agony, it pollutes our groundwater and in some cases does not decompose for many decades.

Garbage belongs in the designated trash cans and recycled if possible. And you can help to make the world a better place in a small way and of course also Life-Score Punkte in blau sammeln.

To do this, you have numerous opportunities alone or with other people to collect trash and dispose of it properly.

This challenge is also a part of the Timeless Challenge!

Different ways to collect garbage

For many years, communities and municipalities have been looking for people who collect trash together and unload it at the recycling centers or building yards. This is often rewarded with a social gathering with drinks and a snack.

Ramadama

Ich lebe in Bayern und bei uns gibt es in jeder Gemeinde ein jährliches „Ramadama„. Das Wort stammt (vermutlich) aus dem bayrischen Satz „rama derma“ was soviel bedeutet wie „we clean up„. Man trifft sich mit anderen Gemeindemitgliedern, erhält von der Gemeinde ein Gebiet und einen großen Müllsack zugewiesen und schon kann´s losgehen. Man sucht in seinem Gebiet nach Müll, wirft diesen in den Müllsack und bringt diesen anschließend zum Bauhof zurück oder zu speziell markierten Sammelpunkten. Das dauert meistens einen Vormittag und findet meistens am Samstag statt. Als Belohnung bekommt man bei vielen Gemeinden noch ein paar Würstel oder etwas Vegetarisches zu essen und ein Getränk.

I really enjoy participating in the Ramadama, because the atmosphere is great and it's fun. Most of the time, the communities publish the dates in the local media (online and print media).

Plogging

Plogging usually involves a few runners getting together to collect trash while running. But there are also many people who run alone and collect the garbage on their running route. Often plogging is done in the mountains, along rivers or in the forest. Actually, this trend originates from Scandinavia, but has long since found its way into our country. We think it's a really great thing!

Networks

Und dann gibt es noch private Organisatoren von richtigen Müllsammelnetzwerken. Ein Beispiel ist das Netzwerk „Trash Hero“ welches weltweit in verschiedenen Städten Termine zum Müll Sammeln anbietet und koordiniert. Leider gibt es in Deutschland bisher wenig Niederlassungen, aber warum gründest Du nicht eine lokale Niederlassung? Die Natur dankt es Dir!
