The Principality of Monaco committed

Back on the actions carried out during this week of waste reduction, from 16 to 24 November 2019: the Museum had organized workshops to encourage the youngest to the importance of reducing their production of waste and also to adopt the good gestures in selective sorting.

The Monaco Oceanographic Museum also took the opportunity to raise awareness of the fight against pollution at sea!

A friendly and playful moment articulated around 3 animations: a workshop of selective sorting, the stand party without balloons and the “mission pollution”, during which the children and their parents could revise their knowledge in waste and pollution.

Selective sorting workshop

“With the help of recycling bins (plastic, glass, cardboard, textiles, batteries, etc.) placed on the forecourt, the children were able to learn which bins correspond to which waste.

Then, our young participants answered a quiz on sorting and leave with your “Super Sorter” diploma.

the balls must go, not the party

The “Fête sans ballons” stand offered educational activities to explain to youngsters the consequences of balloon releases on the marine environment, and in particular on sea turtles.

Through this initiative, the aim is to raise awareness, inform and find, together, alternatives to balloon releases in favour of environmentally friendly practices.
