Party, fun, joy and music. These adjectives describe the scenario of the “baiano” summer, especially during the carnival.
But if on one hand, this is a time of great fun for the “baianos” and tourists who flock to the capital during this period, the same is not true when it comes to the idyllic beaches and lush part of the tourist circuit of Salvador.
After news of the absurd, accumulation of garbage in the sea region between “Porto and Farol da Barra”, a group of surfers decided to investigate and dived at the site. The surprise was not at all pleasant.
The garbage that was concentrated in a channel - was formed by an average of 1.500 metal cans, plastic bottles and remnants of “abadás” (a special shirt worn during the carnival), proving negligence by the size of the population that makes up the scenery (nothing) festive.
The surfers came in contact with at least three TV stations, in order to document the ruthless chaos on the seabed, without getting any success, except for Happy Hour program, the closed channel GNT, where the presenter interviewed by Astrid, live on web cam, surfer Bernardo, one of those who were in charge of the action.
The “Baía de Todos os Santos (BTS)” witness a scene of light and pleasure, as sung in the merry music of carnival in Salvador. Keeping this characteristic seems rather to be the best against this backward attitude adopted by thousands of revelers invade the bar in the carnival.
The revelry of the sea was violently assaulted, with no chance of defense, without poetry, without music. Throw the trash in the trash is one of the most basic rules of education. And it will ensure an equal joy in all parts of the party.
