A EUROPEAN beach is offering free holidays – as long as you do a bit of work beforehand.
Hel Beach in Poland is offering free holidays in exchange for cleaning up the 35km-long beach.
The campaign offers a “chance to meet new people while enjoying fun, well-organized free-time activities”, according to the Bałtyk 2.0 Foundation.
The foundation added that it’s ‘cleaning for holidays’ scheme’ along the Hel Peninsula lasts for four days at a time.
The foundation’s Weronika Rąk said to Wirtualna Polska: “We wanted to create something that not only helps clean up but also builds a community of conscious traveler
“So we decided to take action.”
The rules are simple – each day, volunteers must spend around six hours collecting cigarette butts, bottle caps, plastic packaging and shards of glass from designated beach areas.
In return, volunteers will be given a free lodging in seaside tents, meals, insurance and workwear on what Finding Poland describes as “paradise on earth”.
In the evenings, bonfires, stand-up paddleboarding, art workshops and other activities will also be provided.
The foundation will cover the cost of the campaign through the sale of bracelets, that feature the project’s logo.
All fund raised will go towards gloves, bin bags and containers need for the daily cleanups.
The project is part of a wider campaign which aims to highlight a broader environmental challenge across the region.
For example, in Gdynia, authorities collect around 120 tonnes of litter each tourist season.
Bałtyk 2.0 is hoping that by combining the opportunity for a holiday with action, more young people will become involved in the fight for cleaner oceans.
Applications for the Hel cleanup camps are open until June 22.
