“Aktionpinguin puts littering in the bag. Proactive for a clean Basel and Rhine shore. Thank you for your help.”
Mansour Benayat, IG & Social Media Partner of Aktionpinguin»
Founded 2021 at and in the Rhine as a sideeffect of the first winter ice-swimming season. The littering collecting bags are free along the river an on special hotspots in the city for everyone willing to collect litter by chance.
“Why not pick up something instead of just being indignant. That’s how AP started. As a side effect to ice swimming. It’s nicer if it’s clean when you get in and out, and on the way, too. No sooner said than done. Just do it.” 
“We show that it is not witchcraft to dispose of litter. It goes without saying that you’ve already had your own litter in your paws, or other people’s litter when it suits you. It takes a little courage and cool tools. Available free of charge at Aktionpinguin.ch”.

“A special word of thanks to the city’s cleaning service. They do a great job. We provide them with targeted support. If a container overflows, we shovel it free. If we encounter a wild dump, we don’t rest until the nuisance is removed. If it comes back, we come back, too. We’ll keep at it.”


“Cleanup days are good for raising awareness.  So are our team and company events. But it’s crucial to regularly look, pick up, dispose. Anyone and everyone can do it. After all, we were all once passionate collectors and hunters.”
