23 May 2016 – Trash Hero Amed (Indonesia)

Happy Birthday Trash Hero Amed! This Indonesian chapter just celebrated their 52nd beach cleanup. 49 volunteers joined for this anniversary beach cleanup, gathering 103 kg of trash on the beach of Pupuan (better known as Bunutan). Music was playing while they sorted trash, deciding what to keep for the ecobrick workshops run by Trash Hero partner Peduli Alam, and what to bring to the sorting station. They even produced a video about this milestone, which you can watch here.

Several local business owners contributed to this special occasion, providing ice tea for the volunteers, as well as two delicious birthday cakes to celebrate with. A big thank you for helping to make this happen!

Cleaning up with Coboat Nomads

We only recently announced a new partnership with Coboat, the awesome co-working space on a huge catamaran. They’ve already been busy doing cleanups when not aboard the vessel, and just completed a cleanup on Koh Phi Phi Leh. Random finds they reported included a bike helmet and winter gloves, and altogether they filled 30 bags of trash. Making a notable difference in the process!

They will be cleaning up on next trips, so join them and be part of this fun or follow them on Facebook here.
