When you go green in sport, you are growing. Volunteers from all generations in the fight against environmental pollution while kayaking. The project wants to increase awareness of combining water sport and the fight against nature pollution. In Partnership with the European Canoe Association and other national Kayak/Canoe associations, we would like to organize a few actions in four partner countries Bulgaria, Croatia, North Macedonia, and Serbia as well as a Final Green Kayak Cleaning Regatta around Ohrid Lake and Drim river in North Macedonia.
Each year thousands of people are puddling on kayaks around Europe in the harbors, rivers, and lakes and collect more than 42 tons of trash. Think about how big a plastic bag is and how much it weighs, now imagine the pile of waste collected – it’s a waste mountain!
