Ibiza has some of the most gorgeous beaches, coastlines and natural scenery you will find anywhere in the world, let alone Europe. For the most part, they are very clean, well-maintained and respected. Though there is always room for improvement.
Heading into the mammoth August weekender - Eden's Sunday night host Toolroom is encouraging volunteers to join members of its team in a clean-up on S'Arenal beach in San Antonio centre.
Anybody who takes part will be rewarded with free merchandise, a reusable metal straw and VIP entry to the Toolroom party later that night. Those interested in helping should meet at Tulp Beach Café along the promenade for 19:00.
Afterwards, reconverge back at Tulp. There weekly resident Maxinne will be joined by Harrie Summers and a special guest for a special pre-party at sunset, from 20:00 until 23:00.
Later we head to Eden for the main event. Weiss, Leftwing:Kody, Friend Within, Illyus & Barrientos, Martin Ikin and of course Mark Knight will all be present - including some tasty back-to-backs.
Since we're now in the thick of summer when the island's capacity is at its height, this is definitely a timely reminder that we are all responsible for the maintenance of Ibiza. And, indeed, the entire planet.
In an ideal world, beach clean-up would not be a necessity. Though prevention is always better than cure, kudos to the Toolroom team for being reactive. Fortunately, we are seeing more and more eco-conscious initiatives being implemented by leading bodies in our industry.
DC10 removed plastic water bottles before the start of summer, Pacha Group has just announced it's going green and the theme at this year's DJ Awards is Plastic No More.
The Tulp pre-party is free for volunteers, but if you can't make it down you can grab tickets for Eden below.
