Rainbow Warrior in Taiwan: Beach Cleaning Activities in Penghu

Beach clean-up activities with local schools and NGOs.
Two clean-up activities were carried out: in Chi-Tou beach and Shi-Man beach on Dec 15 and Dec 16.
On Dec 15, Greenpeace invited 350 school kids and 20 people from the Coast Guard, and together with 16 Rainbow Warrior crew members and 24 core volunteers, an art installation was created in the shape of a sea turtle using trash collected at the beach.
The estimated amount of the total garbage collected during the activities is 3 tons, including enough PET bottles (about 25000~30000 bottles) to fill up four trucks.
