Do a good deed and join the clean-up effort with the Strömsö Community
Published: 23.4.2024
The Million Trash Bags Campaign is currently underway. The City of Vaasa and Strömsö are joining forces to organise a trash collection event on May 2, 2024, in the surroundings of Onkilahti. Be sure to arrive early, as we will be giving away Vaasa posters to the first 30 people to arrive! The event will be attended by familiar faces from Strömsö, Nicke Aldén and Elin Skagersten-Ström.
We will meet at the Onkilahti café car park at 18:00 (6 pm) and collect the trash from the surrounding area for two hours. The address is Järvikatu 11.
– We hope that as many Vaasa residents as possible will be inspired to participate in this event. Let’s do a good deed on the environment together, says Elin Skagersten-Ström.
Here’s how to participate:
- bring gloves and a trash picker if you have one at home
- we will bring trash bags and trash pickers
- remember your water bottle
- we do not serve juice or coffee as it will create more litter
- remember to mark the number of bin bags you have collected on the counter
You can also collect trash from your local area if you can’t make it to the venue. Just remember to register the bags you collect to increase our collective pot.
