 On November 22, 2017, a group of Parley collaborators came together with the Ministry of Environment, the Municipality of Pichilemu, and 80 youth from Colegio Los Libertadores de Infiernillo for a beach clean and talks held in Pichilemu. The group collected more than 350 kilos of plastic waste from the shoreline. After participating in the cleanup, big wave surfer and Parley ambassador Ramon Navarro led a discussion on the various sources and pathways of plastic pollution, and ways we can all be part of the solution through Parley AIR.
