Canal it up
We aim for a clean plastic-free canal in Brussels where nature has its place
IS THERE A PROBLEM?
Yes. The canal at the heart of Brussels has to face a constant stream of garbage, a lack of nature and a bad water quality.
HOW DO WE WANT TO INTERVENE?
RAISING AWARENESS
Every week we go fishing for trash with our kayaks, always taking along a new person.
INSTALLING A TRASH BARRIER
We are currently working on the installation of a permanent structure, to be placed close to the Molenbeek lock, to stop the trash and take it out of the water.
GREENING THE CANAL
We propose to give nature its place back in the canal to transform it into a green and pleasant environment for people and animals through the installation of vegetalised islands.
IMPROVING WATER QUALITY
Tackling the problem of the sewage overflows would allow to drasically improve the water quality of the canal.
RECYCLING
We are exploring creative solutions to recycle the trash collected in the canal.
