Youth volleyball team cleans beach in environmental campaign
Key Points
  • Engelholm Volleybollklubb's F14 team cleaned Ängelholm beach as part of Städa Kust
  • Städa Kust is a nationwide campaign in its 17th year organized by Städa Sverige
  • 82 associations with 1,600 youths cleaned coastal areas in 19 municipalities during the premiere weekend

The team was equipped with trash bags, gloves, and good spirits, walking along the sand dunes and waterline to collect debris. This effort is part of Städa Kust, an environmental campaign organized by the sports group Städa Sverige, which is being held for the seventeenth time this year. During the premiere weekend, a total of 82 associations with over 1,600 youths are cleaning coastal stretches in 19 municipalities along the west coast, from Strömstad to Ängelholm, with additional associations working on beaches in the Stockholm area.

Last year, participants filled 980 bags with trash just during the premiere weekend, but it remains unclear how much trash the F14 team collected this time or what types were most common. According to SVT Skåne, a team member described the long-term involvement in beach cleaning as important for contributing to a good cause, while also providing funds for the club and fostering team bonding outside training. The specific financial benefit for the club and the total number of associations participating beyond the premiere weekend have not been disclosed, and the environmental impact of this year's initiative is yet to be assessed.
