Actions on land
In 2020, Wings of the Ocean’s actions multiplied on land, thanks to the volunteer’s initiatives. The association has been willing to support this initiatives, by leading them towards organizing local depollution events, and awareness campaigns.
A Local Unit is a collective of people representing the association, and organizing depollution actions and awareness campaigns.
It allows the NGO to get involved in a local community, and put the stress on the plastic pollution and its problematics. It can develop by relying on the skills and expertise of its volunteers.
A Local Unit also represents a relay of information, and a representative of the NGO and its values.
Local Units missions are to organise depollution actions, but can also be :
- Raise awareness around plastic pollution (Visiting schools, universities),
- Conduct a stand in a festival,
- Increase the partner’s network (associations, private, institutions),
- Develop the volunteers network…

The Lyonnaise branch is a group of young and old, engaged and motivated, who have come together for a common goal of cleaning up the planet.
Some have known each other since childhood, others come with their families, some arrive alone, in any case, we meet, we create bonds of conviviality and we do squats for two hours to collect all this waste.
The planet is big, so we mainly concentrate on cleaning up around the many water points in Lyon and its surroundings, the Saône, the Rhône, the Décine reservoir, the lake of the large Miribel park, etc.
All these spaces are unfortunately polluted and when we know that each river is the beginning of our seas and oceans, we know that our mission is important.
So yes, we may not succeed in cleaning up everything, but with patience and perseverance, we know that we can do great things together. By focusing on the same place for 5 actions we managed to make the space so clean that we could hear people say “Sorry my bag is not very full, but there is not a lot of waste. here ”: what good news, mission accomplished!

Setting up a branch in the heart of Paris may seem surprising at first glance, given the distance that separates our buildings from the oceans …
And yet, if we take into account the great capacity that our waste has to move around, we are unfortunately no longer so far… And then there are many of us… Our cigarette ends, our disposable food packaging, our water bottles too…
Consequently, we are determined to clean up as much as possible, the banks of the Seine, the Canal de l’Ourcq, the Bassin de la Villette, the banks of the Marne and all those places where it is good to meet up with friends, to enjoy family, stroll, to escape the hectic life of the capital.
Because we are also convinced that raising awareness upstream remains essential, the Paris branch is mobilizing to visit schools, among the younger generations.
We offer presentations on the theme of plastic pollution and zero-waste with fun and age-appropriate supports.
Thanks to the great partnership wealth to which we have access and for the sake of inter-associative convergence, we soon hope to be able to meet the public in any event, conference, festival, demonstration, in line with our values.
