On Saturday, May 10th, LET’S DO IT ! BELGIUM will organise a cleanup action along the banks of the Albert Channel in Antwerp region. Bicycle Union ‘VOORKEMPEN’ will join us
This Cleanup action will take place within the framework of the “LET’S CLEAN UP EUROPE 2014 CAMPAIGN”, organised by the European Commission, marking the start of the European CLEAN WEEK.
