Builders' eco-gestures
An event such as the Concours de Châteaux de sable, regularly hosting tens of thousands of people and taking place in a such a delicate environment is inevitably prone to produce a lot of trash and sometimes even to slightly disturb the natural habitat. Therefore, in a spirit of cooperation and care towards the environment, we ask that you all respect the following eco-gestures.
- Avoid circulating in the dunes :
Dunes play a critical role in the protection of the beach against the sea, and also host a number of flora and fauna. A high circulation in those dunes can therefore disturb their ecosystem. - Limit your vehicule usage :
Favor carpooling as much as possible. - Limit and sort your trash :
Use the appropriatly identified trashbins. The team will provide you with a trash bag and a recycling bag, if needed. - Contribute to the cleaning of the beach:
Make sure that went you leave, you bring all your belongings and trash with you. Try and leave your spot in the same state it was before you arrived. - Use our portable toilets :
By using our portable toilets, we can make sure the beach stays as clean as possible. - Clean up your pet’s waste :
Same goes for our lovely pets! Make sure you clean after them. - Bring a portable ashtray :
Cigarettes’ butts are an important source of pollution on our beaches. Please be respectful with how you handle them. Our team can provide you with a small container if need be. - Use eco-friendly sunscreen:
Certain sunscreen brands can be deadly for the local flora and fauna, in the water and also in the sand.
