  "account": "In Cartagena, residents participated in World Beach Day on September 20 by cleaning coastal areas, particularly Cala Salitrona and Cala Bolete. Volunteers removed 92 kilograms of trash from Cala Salitrona beach alone, which included 372 plastic bottle caps, 36 small yogurt containers, 2.5 kilograms of wet wipes, and eight fuel drums, three of which still contained fuel. This effort highlights a growing interest in preserving the municipality's natural spaces, especially its beaches, which are popular across Spain. The program was part of the Cartagena City Council's campaign to promote respect for marine biodiversity and responsible behavior among residents and visitors. To maintain beach cleanliness and environmental health, it's recommended to avoid bringing plastic waste to the coastline, clean up after oneself, and participate in cleanup initiatives organized by local authorities or community groups. Additionally, recycling, mindful rubbish disposal, and encouraging others to be responsible can also contribute to the preservation of local beaches.",
