Social innovation through sports in support of the ecological transition. We organize activities that allow you to reconnect with nature by collecting, sorting, and repurposing litter—all through the lens of sports—whether on foot, by bike, or via canoe or stand-up paddleboarding
Born from a desire to clean up waterways, the association creates outdoor experiences that combine the practical with the enjoyable. Indeed, our main mission is to clean up waterways and their surroundings while engaging in physical and sporting activities (on foot, by bike, by canoe, or even by stand-up paddle).
Convinced that we protect better what we love, we help the public (re)discover waterways while raising awareness about environmental issues.
In addition to this initiative and through our “village green” set up in each stopover town, we organize fun and educational workshops that directly demonstrate possible actions
Our project also has an inclusive dimension, as we have the opportunity to forge partnerships with the sports community—and particularly the para-sports community—through highly committed athletes.
We also have the opportunity to invite people with disabilities to join us on some of our adapted stand-up paddleboards.
Our first major initiative focuses on the Rhône River, where we plan to cover 815 km over 60 stages spread across three years between 2021 and 2023, with other rivers to follow…
Once collected, weighed, and sorted, the waste is sent either to a recycling center or to partners capable of repurposing it—for example, by transforming it into street furniture.
