200 people took part in the Clean the Beach 2011 program, set up by The Beach Soccer Foundation
The Clean the Beach 2011 action at South Beach turned to be an unforgettable evening. More than 200 people came onboard of this funny action set up The Beach Soccer Foundation, which went beyond the Beach Soccer boundaries to recruit people from other spheres. The businessman Marcelo Claure Sr, the former footballer and World Champion Christian Karembeu, or the Spanish actress Ana Obregon, among others, have joined all the players and staff of the four national teams involved in the Beach Soccer Worldwide Miami Cup 2011, the cheerleaders, and the rest of the participants in their fight for the environment.
All of them have also highlighted the need of making the population aware about the importance of keeping our beaches clean. Christian Karembeu, 1998 FIFA World Cup Champion with France, pointed that “taking care of the beaches is a duty we all have to accomplish, since it is not only the sand, but the whole nature what we have to take care of. Its energy, its health is something we must fight for, because it is something we must warrantee for the youger generations”.
In turn, the Bolivian businessman Marcelo Claure Sr. wanted to set clear that “I am very happy to have taken part in this action, and really grateful as well to Beach Soccer Worldwide and the Beach Soccer Foundation for the commitment they have shown with Miami and our beaches”.
Ana Obregón reinforced those words by assuring that “this initiative is brilliant. It is an absolutely valuable move for the environmental conscience of the people. The beach is something really important in our lives and we cannot let anyone ruin it. We all have to do our bit to keep it safe”.
