Hi all friends!

A beach clean is a thing that we do in the Volvo Ocean Race in every stopover. We go to the beaches and clean up all the rubbish because there is this story about an Albatross and she was very powerful. And this bird she had lots of babies and we want to keep them safe because all the plastic that people through in the water just floats around and any Albatross can mistake it for food. And everyday the Albatrosses eat this kind of rubbish so they get weaker and weaker every day, and then they will die.

Yesterday I went on a bus to a beach and we picked all the rubbish that the Chinese people had spread all over the beach, we picked lots of rubbish. When we went back we took a picture with all the Chinese children that was also taking part of the beach clean. There was a Chinese TV station doing a story about the beach clean and they wanted a child from another country to be filmed on the Chinese TV program,  and they choose me to be filmed and they asked me some questions about what kind of rubbish I found on the beach.

All the rubbish that we found is going to be taken back to Race Village and then into a room where we have boxes full of rubbish, and all the children come there to make sculptures out of the rubbish we found.

Love from Ebba
