Dump on Beach

In Tramore, Co. Waterford there is a nice three mile long beach with sand dunes. This beach leads into a back strand with a lagoon like lake which is also a bird sanctuary. In the middle of this, on the back of the beach there is a dump.

This public landfill lets people leave their rubbish so that it can blown onto the beach and washed out to sea at high tide. Not only does it destroy an area of natural beauty and a wildlife sanctuary but it also devastates a tourist resorts biggest asset, the beach.

I plan to raise public awareness of this environmental catastrophe. The first stage of this plan will involve a Demonstration March through Tramore town and on to the dump. This will take place on Saturday March 26th @ 3pm.

If you are interested in supporting this project or would like more details email me on izzofinno@gmail.com

Thank You,
