Cleaning days

August 24, 2020

The SHV is starting a campaign worth emulating: During the Cleanup Days, pilots are called upon to clean the launch sites and the surrounding nature of rubbish and document this with photos. There doesn't have to be rubbish at the launch site. Anyone who wants to do something about it can take part in the SHV's Cleanup Days. // Source: SHV It is a sad fact that some people leave their rubbish in nature. But you can set an example and compensate for that by collecting the rubbish of others too. The Swiss hang-glider association SHV is now even making it an official campaign. He has called on his members to participate in cleanup days, which sounds somewhat sportier in modern German: Cleanup Days. At the take-off and landing site or at the edge of the path at the hike-and-fly, the nature-loving pilots should put everything that is thrown away that does not belong in the landscape into collecting bags and then properly dispose of it. According to the motto "do good and show it too", the campaign includes even more: Participants should record their commitment by photo or video and post it on Facebook and / or Instagram - under the hashtag #shv_cleanup. At the end of each week in September, the picture with the most likes is awarded, the video competition runs for the entire month. The total of five winners will each receive a SHV annual membership 2021 (which corresponds to a value of 120 Swiss francs each). More information on the SHV Cleanup Days website.
