Project Rescue Ocean 2023: Annual Waste Collection

A clean ocean is a happy ocean! As part of this year’s VINCI Environment Day, our offices in California, Virginia, Maryland, and Washington took part in Project Rescue Ocean for the second year in a row.

First, our offices in Maryland and Virginia collected waste at Seneca Creek State Park on a tranquil September morning. As you can see from the pictures below, they even had some furry friends join them.

 

 

Our West Coast offices also made time to help preserve the planet by visiting community areas in Washington and California. When combining their efforts, they were able to accumulate a total of *90 lbs* of litter for Project Rescue Ocean. Now that’s the power of teamwork!

 

 

Project Rescue Ocean continues to be a wonderful opportunity for Sixense employees to bond, get some fresh air outside of the office, and help protect the coastal environment. It’s a privilege to be a part of an organization that encourages us to give back.

This exercise has become a fun and rewarding company tradition that employees look forward to each year. Here’s to another year of working together to make a difference!

What is Project Rescue Ocean?

Project Rescue Ocean was originally a simple Facebook page. By sharing his daily life, Benoit Schumann, its founder, saw it take on growing importance every day. By force of circumstances, he decided to transform this page into that of an association under the 1901 law and to act on a larger scale.

How? By organizing eco-citizen actions on the beaches but also inland. Its goal is simple, to raise awareness among the general public and in particular young people about the state of the environment, seas, and oceans.
