Unfortunately there is an important update regarding our planned Beach Clean-Up in El Médano on 28th February.
Due to a weather warning for strong winds, we have made the decision to cancel the event to ensure everyone’s safety. While we were very much looking forward to coming together as a community, the wellbeing of our volunteers always comes first.
Everyone who registered will be informed directly. Thank you for your understanding, your support, and your commitment to protecting Tenerife’s coastline. We truly appreciate this amazing community — and we can’t wait to clean the next beach together very soon.
Canary Green’s tips to enjoying sustainable tourism in Canary Islands
Visiting Canary Islands on holiday doesn’t give you free rein to leave your values and principles at home. We encourage travellers to seek out sustainable options and keep up with environmental practices while travelling. Our top tips for a relaxed and wholesome stay include:
- Consider green transport options. Are you able to take a ferry to the island instead of flying? While you are here is a car necessary? Investigate public transport links or choose green options such as electric cars, green-hydrogen cars or e-bikes.
- Choose destinations that value sustainability and choose green alternatives such as solar power, recycling and energy-efficient architecture. This extends to places that value workers’ rights and the impact on the local community.
- Bring your own water bottle with you and refill it instead of buying single-use plastic bottles.
- Make use of the recycling when out and about and don’t just throw your rubbish in the nearest bin.
- Take advantage of local knowledge and immerse yourself in the culture through campaigns such as #Ilovecanarias and #meatfreemondaycanarias.
- Most of all, have fun and enjoy your time in the Canary Islands.
