5 Minutes Beach Clean Up
5 Minutes Beach Clean Up emerged from a need to clean off the plastics that land on the coasts of Costa Rica through a simple action of taking 5minutes to pick up plastics. This small action multiplied by millions of people ends up having an important impact on our oceans and beaches. Carolina Sevilla started this movement in 2016, and had her first station at the Gilded Iguana in 2019. Learn More
