NGO Our action, among volunteer commitments as part of the Kotor Festival for Children’s Theaters, cleared yesterday the upper part of Skurda, which was primarily contaminated with plastic, which remained and entangled in seagrass at this location. NGO Our Action this year pays close attention to marine pollution through its ‘Youth for a Clean Adriatic’ project funded by Beyond plastic Med and the Prince Albert II Foundation of Monaco. With this action, the youth delighted both citizens and tourists. While the large volunteers were cleaning, the small volunteers of the Kotor Children’s Theater were learning about plastic pollution from the sea, and how to eliminate single use plastic in their lives. #kfpd # kfpd_2019 #that #festival #theatre #children #montenegro #bokabay #BeMed #BeMedMontenegro #YouthforacleanAdriatic #MladizacistJadran #NVONasaAction #NGOOurAction #Breakfreefromplastic
