해안선 전체를 청소하는 임무를 맡은 웰링턴 여성

Share:

웰링턴에서 온 한 여성이 해변 청소 임무를 새로운 차원으로 끌어 올렸습니다.지난 8월, 멜리사 리저는 해변에서 1000kg의 쓰레기를 치우겠다는 목표를 달성했습니다.이제 그녀는 새로운 도전을 세웠습니다. 바로 웰링턴의 해안선 전체를 청소하는 일이죠.그녀는 앞으로 몇 주 동안 33km를 걸으며 오시로 베이부터 오리엔탈 베이까지 모든 해변을 청소할 계획입니다.

리저는 미국에 살던 2018년에 청소 프로젝트인 ‘Clean Where You Walk’를 시작했습니다.아이들을 학교에 데려다 주다가 동네가 얼마나 더러운지 알게 된 그녀는 영감을 받아 동네 청소를 시작하게 되었습니다.그녀는 자신의 인스타그램 계정에 자신의 노력을 기록했고, 이후 수천 명의 팔로워를 확보했습니다.

리저는 웰링턴으로 이사한 후 지난 5년 동안 일주일에 한두 번 해변을 청소하면서 도시의 해변에 집중하기로 결심했다.뉴질랜드에서 쓰레기를 모니터링하는 자선단체인 서스테이너블 코스트라인 (Sustainable Coastlines) 에 따르면 웰링턴은 전국 어느 지역보다 쓰레기 배출량이 많은 것으로 나타났다.

서스테이너블 코스트라인의 CEO인 조쉬 보스윅 (Josh Borthwick) 은 리저의 노력을 칭찬했다.그는 그녀의 작업이 해변을 청소하는 데 도움이 될 뿐만 아니라 바다에 버려지는 쓰레기의 양에 대한 인식을 높이는 데도 도움이 된다고 말했습니다.Sustainable Coastlines에서 수집한 데이터는 정부가 최근 특정 유형의 플라스틱에 대한 금지 조치를 비롯한 정책 결정을 내리는 데 사용됩니다.

Lieser는 현재 목표를 달성한 후 한 가지 더 남았습니다. 바로 다시는 그 목표를 달성하지 않아도 된다는 것입니다.
