TrashUre Hunt
TrashUre Hunt is an international environmental organisation that aims to raise public awareness of environmental issues through actions, education and art.
In 2000, Ralph Groenheijde came up with the idea of TrashUre Hunt.
TrashUre Hunt's origins lie in Costa Rica, where he was on holiday with his wife and 2-year-old son. While hunting for shells on the beach, his son turned out to be more interested in all the PET bottle caps that were on the beach. After a few months they had more than a garbage bag full. That woke Ralph up. Back in the Netherlands he walked onto the beach. In a few hours he found 6 garbage bags full of waste. The seed was planted, and the idea arose to hunt for treasures that did not belong in nature, and a few years later the organization TrashUre Hunt became a reality.Fast forward to 2016, where through all the events that Ralph and fellow TrashUre Hunters put on, they took the opportunity to start the 95-day Summer Challenge together with the Municipality of The Hague. Due to the success at the end of 2016, Ralph and the team decided to transform TrashUre Hunt into a Foundation: TrashUre Hunt Foundation!
Trashure Hunt conducts a series of creative, sporting and musical activities like: Clean-up relays, craft days, Black Path promotions, music evenings and much more...
