A reader has contacted La Voz to report that the Arrecife City Council has organized a volunteer day to clean the city's coastline this coming October 26 when El Reducto beach is closed to swimming due to fecal spills.

In this sense, the citizen points out that "volunteers are being exposed to a risk to their health." "Is it taken into account that children and people with pathologies attend volunteer actions?" she asks.

"They are going to call on people to clean up four pieces of plastic and two glass bottles when the real pollution is microscopic," he criticizes.

For the reader, "they should first solve the sewage spills before removing waste such as tires, cans, or bottles from the water."
