UNITED STAR OF EUROPE: SWEDEN/SCHWEDEN

My name is Beatrice Lind and I live in Varberg, a beautiful small town on the Swedish west coast. Since we moved back here to my childhood town after living abroad for many years, my husband and I noticed that the amount of litter continued to increase, in town and along the beaches. We often go for long walks along the coastline, and it felt natural to start cleaning up litter, as we already picked up after the dog. Nowadays, we usually fill at least one bag per walk, several times a week along the same route. It's surprising how much praise you get from other strollers. Many people seem to think that cleaning up litter without getting paid for it is a revolutionary idea. Hopefully we inspire many of them to try it themselves. I also started a local plogging group, but we haven’t really get started again since covid. Maybe this summer!
