The Rebel Clean-Up Crew
To start off right! Friday, September 20, 2024 is World Cleanup Day! This is the perfect time to get outside with the kids and lend a hand in cleaning up the neighborhood. Grab some garbage bags, put on those cool shoes and collect all the trash you come across. It's good for our planet as well as a challenge - let's get it!
Tip: Often you can pick up a trash picker, children's trash bag and a vest for free from your municipality to get started safely and efficiently. Check with your local municipality to see what's available and get prepared!
And of course, don't forget to put on your Rebel Cactus Protect & Play Sweatband. This will keep your GPS smartwatch protected from sweat and dirt while you're out and about.
Be part of the Rebel Clean-Up Crew! Will you get to work? Share a photo of your clean-up via Instagram and tag @rebel_cactus_global. We'll share your photo and inspire other Rebels to join in too. Together we'll make the world a little cleaner!

4. Beachcombing: Treasure hunting along the coast
Fall is a wonderful time to go to the beach, even if the weather is a little rougher. Beachcombing is a free activity where you search for washed-up treasures.

5. Barefoot trail: feel autumn under your feet
Do you dare to really feel autumn? Then a visit to a barefoot path is a must-do! Throughout the Netherlands there are several places where you can walk barefoot through nature and experience what it feels like to walk through mud, leaves and sand. The Barefoot Trail in Brunssum or the trail in Zutphen are great places to explore.
Rebel Challenge: Challenge yourself and your friends to walk the path without looking where your feet end up. How many steps do you take according to your Rebel Cactus GPS Kids Smartwatch? With the built-in pedometer, you'll know exactly how much you've walked!
Whether you're rolling through mud, searching for treasures on the beach or running around town in search of hidden places, autumn doesn't have to be boring or a season full of indoor activities. It's a time full of unexpected, free adventures. So put on your coat, charge your smartwatch, and explore the world together!
