Description de la mission :
We ask volunteers to not only help us remove the trash and litter from our environment, but to take it one step further and track the types and number of items they're finding.
Beyond sheer tonnage of trash removed, and probably more importantly, we feel that clean-ups are the gateway for volunteers and people of all walks of life to become aware of the issue and feel empowered to take action. Through data collection, the experience for the volunteer in tracking item by item, what they find, creates a moment of reflection that is truly invaluable.
Tâches du volontaire :
A beach clean-up is also an opportunity to gather new data about the state of our coasts and the types of trash that pollutes them. By identifying the most harmful debris items, environmental groups can find ways to stop them from entering the ocean or being littered again on beaches
This data is hugely important as it helps us track the common items we find on our beaches and then campaign for change.
This evidence is used to lobby Governments for legislative change, as well as to influence industry practices and to drive campaigns that lead to changes in individual behaviour.
During our high peek season your main activities will be gathering information from the Beach Cleanings from all the camps;
● Lead the Beach Cleanings
● Gather the daily data from Beach Cleaning
● Review current data collection methods
● Improve our recycling process
● Generate data visualization products, including dashboards, infographics, and maps
● Preparing and presenting communication materials
● Design data collection tools
● Enhance collaboration among the various organizations that carry out beach cleans
● Assist in preparing the data reports
You will travel around Iceland, as our houses are located at various sites across the island. We’re all about flexibility: we expect you to adapt to changes quickly and we encourage you to try new things.
Working hours may vary depending on the workcamps and the organization’s needs. However, you will have 2 days off per week. And will be able to discover Iceland’s unique sites.
When required by the organization you will be required to lead camps, welcome participants, and/ or explain the program to the groups.
