Marburg divers save the Lahn: garbage -free until 2025!
In 2024, committed divers in Marburg launched a remarkable project. A total of six tons of garbage were collected from the Lahn and its bank. This initiative is borne by the so -called "Lahn diving", the main goal of which it is to completely free the Lahn around the urban area from waste by 2025. Since 2020, these volunteers have already eliminated 18 tons of waste in a total of 98 missions, as Tagesschau.de
In the six garbage dives of the past year, between six and ten divers took part per assignment. Terrifyingly, 60% of the collected garbage was made of metal scrap. The rest consisted of 25% plastic, 2-3% electronic waste and other residual waste shares. The curious finds included refrigerators, washing machines, motorcycles and even rifles. The amount of non-water objects that freed the divers out of the river was particularly striking.
cleaning up and community initiatives
In addition to the dives, a large clean -up campaign on the bank was organized last year. Over 100 helpers contributed to collecting several hundred kilograms of garbage. These actions show not only the commitment of the divers, but also the willingness of the community to work for environmental protection.A special challenge is planned for 2025: The club wants to make the Lahn in the Marburg urban area completely free of garbage. In addition, the initiative is increased by renaturation projects and tree planting campaigns as well as educational and educational offers on the conditions of the waters. The initiative should also promote and inform the environmental awareness in public and inform how lahntaucher.de reports.
support and awards
In order to further expand the projects and initiatives, the association is looking for supporters. Interested parties can help the specified account or via the BetterPlace.org platform. A simplified donation certificate is sufficient for donations of up to 300 euros. Higher donations require an official certificate that can be requested via the organization.
The \ “Lahntaucher \” were awarded the planet Hero Award and a price of 110,000 euros in 2023, which rewarded and appreciated their commitment to environmental protection. This financial support will help to achieve the goals for 2025 and to preserve the landscape around the Lahn for future generations. It turns out that the fight against environmental pollution can also be driven by local communities, influenced by the commitment of already established organizations such as the federal government, NABU and others who are committed to environmental protection, as explained in various articles about environmental organizations germany.de .
