Environment Fund
As an ambassador Club for EndPlasticSoup we aim to both educate and change behaviour. In 2021 we installed the first plastic-eating fish sculpture in Mijas, with an investment of 1500€. It encourages beach users to bin their plastic bottles and stop plastic pollution.
Protecting the environment has become the 7th area of focus for Rotary International, as it underpins so many of the other causes.
