Every individual, organisation or institution has the power to make a difference in environmental challenges by contributing according to their abilities and resources. With The Custodians App, citizens can report polluted areas, participate in clean-up events and become protagonists of positive change. Institutions such as the Navy, the Coast Guard, the Civil Defence and the Guardia di Finanza are able to provide resources and expertise for large-scale operations. By involving their employees, companies can be drivers of change, promoting collective and sustainable actions. ‘All Together Now’ is not just a motto, but an invitation to join forces to protect biodiversity
Each of us can contribute to the success of The Custodians Plastic Race. Working with citizens active on the ground in waste collection can be essential to quantify the extent and impact of pollution, to identify the most common types of waste and potentially act at the source of the problem. By watching the videos, it is possible to understand which activities can only be performed by adults and which are also suitable for children.
The Navy is the operational maritime component of the military defence of the Italian Republic. Its mission is to contribute to national defence, to the safety of navigation and to the knowledge and enhancement of everything related to the sea, from a scientific, technological and environmental point of view. Safeguarding the natural environment is therefore inherent to the body itself and the basis of its principles.
A body entrusted with the regulation and supervision of all maritime and port activities, it performs tasks relating to the civilian uses of the sea. Its in-depth knowledge of all national coastlines and all matters related to the necessity of their protection, in terms of preventing and combating pollution, is essential to ensuring an adequate safety framework during clean-up operations at sea.
The Civil Protection Department is the Italian government structure in charge of coordinating activities related to the national civil protection service. Their capillary knowledge of the Italian territory and experience in managing emergencies are also fundamental to the management of the emergency posed by the dispersion of plastic in nature.
The territory's waste management companies are indispensable allies in the fight against the dispersion of plastic in nature and for its proper reintegration into a recycling and disposal system to mitigate against harm to human health. Although the role of the waste management companies does not differ from their usual tasks, the success of the clean-up operation depends on them completing all the necessary tasks.
