The Ocean is what unites us
For the first time since its inception in 1973, the next edition of the most adventurous ocean race, @theoceanrace, will have a stop in Cabo Verde, on the island of São Vicente.
We met with The Ocean Race team and we'll act as a partner in activities.

Giving a talk on the different types of waste with students, as well as possible actions to manage waste, and we talked about the importance of the three Rs. RECYCLE, REUSE and REDUCE ♻.

The best managed waste is the waste that is not produced 👊🏾
