WILLEMSTAD - During World Clean Up Day, a total of 414,010 kilos of waste was collected on Curaçao. The organization has announced this.
Last Saturday was World Clean Up day 2021. Together with 180 other countries, Curaçao participated in the largest event in the world. Curaçao Clean up cleaned at 95 different locations.
The organization speaks of a great success. “414,010 kilos is as much as more than nine Boeing 737 aircraft,” writes chairman Myrthe Verhulst on her Facebook page. “I don't know whether I should be super proud of the result achieved or very sad that our beautiful island is immensely polluted”.
