This Friday, the project "Don't share your rubble" was presented, a movement that brings together groups, associations, working groups and actions aware of the natural environment, who, "tired of seeing how the natural environment of Lanzarote and the Chinijo Archipelago is degraded and deteriorated, decide to walk together making this great problem visible." The groups behind this project are Desert Watch, Papacría, WWF – Adena, Frente de Lanzarote, Fight for Natura Lanzarote, Lanzarote Limpia, Seo Lanzarote and SECAC.
The first action they have organized is a collection of signatures in Change.org "to request the institutions to clean up all this debris, more places for environmental agents and SEPRONA, higher fines, agility in the administration and a decent environmental education in schools and institutes".
According to them, "the urban development that Lanzarote has experienced in the last 40 years, together with ignorance, the result of the lack of decent environmental education, the low number of environmental agents and SEPRONA, the low amount of sanctions and the delay of the administrations to make them effective, has generated that today we have more than 500 points of debris scattered throughout the island, creating a truly desolate and alarming situation".
As they explain, "Lanzarote is a unique territory in the world and, thanks to its uniqueness, it has managed to get thousands of tourists to visit the island every year, with many families being able to live off it, however, these uncivil attitudes can jeopardize the present and future of the island".
Finally, they state that "we are still in time to alleviate this growing destruction of nature and our economy, for this we have to assume a collective responsibility in the cleaning of our spaces, where institutions have a fundamental role".
