Hidralia, the company dedicated to the management of the urban water cycle in San Fernando, has collaborated this morning, on the occasion of the celebration of World Environment Day, in the Great Cleaning of the Natural Park of Bahía de Cádiz, which surrounds La Isla, organized for the Bahía de Plata Association together with twenty schools from the islanders and Cádiz, true architects of the event.

 

In total, some 2,500 schoolchildren from schools in San Fernando and Cádiz capital, were presented this morning at various points of the Natural Park, wearing their backpacks and hats to contribute their bit, collecting waste that was polluting the Park, mostly plastics The Bahía de Plata Association, which brings together various environmental groups and sensitized with the care of the environment, have organized the different groups along with teachers from a score of schools, coordinated by the San Ignacio de San Fernando school.

Schoolchildren, true protagonists of the day, have joined many associations, entities and companies that have wanted to join the event, from the Natural Park itself to the City Council, the Junta de Andalucía, the University of Cádiz, Greenpeace, the Police National and Local, Firefighters, Federation of Neighborhood Associations, South Bay and so on up to about 40 organizations.

Hidralia is one of these companies that has wanted to join this activity from the beginning, in line with its strategic line of care for the environment and improvement of the quality of life of the citizens of San Fernando, contributing both material and voluntary staff.

Nearly a dozen Hidralia workers in San Fernando have been busy helping to collect the bags full of waste, which brought the students and volunteers, to transport them in the vans provided by the company for this environmental action to the Bahía Sur shopping center. Even their hands have come from containers, cans, bags, cartons, car wheels and all kinds of plastics to drums of washing machines and supermarket carts.

The vans have moved this waste to the Bahía Sur Shopping Center, where it has shown the large amount of waste that children have been able to collect in a couple of hours and highlight the need to raise awareness to avoid treating the Natural Park as a landfill. Note that only the Hidralia vans, in a first estimate, have collected and moved from the Natural Park about three tons of waste.
