It seems to me to be a wonderful initiative that should be repeated frequently in my opinion because it seems to me that in Jávea and perhaps in the south of Spain it is very common to throw waste, bags, cans and everything we have left over in the countryside without having the patience to look for a trash can and for that a lot of education of the population is needed in terms of leaving things the same or better than they were if we want the planet, thank you very much
