Disconnect from what keeps you away. Connect with what keeps you alive. It may sound simple, but in a world over-saturated with superfluous stimuli, it is not so simple. Terra Project was born from this need to reconnect with what really matters: as a way of teaching us to relate to our environment in a different, more respectful way. And all this through outdoor sports and direct interaction with nature.
After the almost 230 kg of waste collected in the first phase, this second phase is on track to break the record. The 24.77 kg of waste, including plastics, paper and even a small engine and a car bumper, collected in just 25 minutes in the vicinity of the Arroyo de la Fuensanta in the first activity of the second phase shows us that there is still a lot to do.
Skiing and snowboarding in Grau Roig
For the next activity of the second phase of Terra Project, on 26 March we went to the top of the water cycle: to the mountains, where the air and water molecules are purer and less polluted. Departing from Barcelona, the FOOTDISTRICT and Nike ACG team, in collaboration with Ocean 52, travelled to the Grau Roig resort in Andorra to enjoy a day in the snow.
To better understand the water cycle, we met with Mathieu Crépel, two-time Olympian and Snowboard World Champion. The French snowboarder is a committed environmentalist, as evidenced by his activity with the NGO Water Family, and served as a guide to understand how water is transformed in the mountains, from the ice-filled north-facing slopes to the spring water we have at lunchtime.
Of course, the group did the now classic clean-up session at the resort car park and nearby stream: almost 14.31 kg of waste collected on this occasion, which will no longer pollute the unique environment of the Grau Roig resort.
